Description
The transistors used here are the Matsushita 2sC828 for signal path and 2sC539 for the Pre-Amp section like in the original RT-18. The pedal features 3 knobs, which set VOLUME, INTENSITY, and SPEED. The SPEED Knob is on your right side allowing you to control the speed with your foot. It also features 2 footswitches: one of them activates the effect for True Bypass, the other one switch is the CANCEL function that allows you to use the pedal as a Pre-Amp, this means that you turn off the lamp bulb keeping a high impedance in the photocells that gives to the sound a wonderful Pre-Amp, in the Chewy-Vibe using it as a Pre-Amp you have 2 different Pre-Amps sounds, switching CHORUS mode will give you a nice Pre-Amp sound, but if you set the rocker switch in VIBRATO you will get a FAT BOOST that will blow your mind how BIG and FAT your guitar sound gonna be.
It has a hand painted soft Rocker switch with airbrush and enamel paint lacquered with gloss lacquer for a longer durability of the paint.
*The Chewy-Vibe is the sound of the RESLY TONE RT-18, you can hear this “liquid, juicy and Chewy” sound effect in a fast speed in the Jimi Hendrix and Larry Lee song called Mastermind in “West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology Album”.
CHORUS / VIBRATO Rocker Switch:
The RED/WHITE soft Rocker Switch is for you to set the CHORUS and VIBRATO Modes, when RED POSITION is DOWN activates the “CHORUS” MODE and when the WHITE POSITION IS DOWN you are in “VIBRATO” MODE.
The SABBADIUS Chewy-Vibe works with DC 18v-200mA power supply for better results, you can use DC 18v-100mA if you want too and will work just fine!.
