Gig-FX | Pro Chop V2

There are two oscillators on the PRO-CHOP that can run separately or simultaneously. On the left side of the pedal, the controls adjust the square wave attributes (which produce modern, pulsing guitar chops such as the intro to Green Day’s ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ or ‘How soon is now?’ by the Smiths), and the controls on the right side adjust the triangle wave attributes which produce the vintage tremolo or pan sounds. By combining both waves, some stunning new effects can be created.

Stereo vs. Mono

In mono, when you turn the Chop effect on, the sound will be turned on and off at the rate and ratio (pulse width) you choose. When you hook it up in stereo, when one side is off, the other side is on, so the signal bounces back and forth across the sound stage. Try it on a big stage for a stunning large sound effect. You can independently set the PAN and Chop rates or control them both with the pedal.

In pan/tremolo mode, in mono, the PRO-CHOP will provide a versatile tremolo unit that allows the signal to be modulated deeper and slower than all other tremolo units, and the tempo can be set on the fly. In stereo, one side is on while the other is off, so the sound pans gradually from the left to the right at a rate determined by the rate control or pedal.

When you select the Blend or Shake modes, In mono, you hear the two waves beating against each other. In stereo, you here rhythmic pulses flying across the room.
