Introduction
Modulation effects are sort of like spices, used tastefully they can
elevate a dish into flavour country. With the Nebulus you get it all,
9 different spices that will cater to just about any modulation meal
you're after.
Along with the sonic versatility, we've included 8 presets for the
most demanding live sets. A hybrid of analog and digital, the
Nebulus harnesses the best of both domains. The Advanced
Configuration mode lets you tailor the functionality to meet your
needs in any situation.
It's musical, it's lush, it's Nebulus!

Quick Start
Basic chorus: a smooth swirling chorus
Tremolo chorus: chorus and tremolo, together at last...
Quick Start ...continued
Vibe: the classic vibe sound
Rotary: offers up the delicious warble of a rotary speaker
60s Flanger: a big sweeping flanger
Thru zero flanger : often misunderstood, but oh so musical!
The Modes
Chorus A - Basic Chorus Mode: By basic we mean that this chorus is
basically perfect sounding: lush, beautiful, deep, you get the idea.
The special switch allows you to get rid of some of the low
frequency throb that is often associated with chorus effects.
Chorus B - Multi Chorus Mode: This mode offers a rich and thick
multi-tap chorus sound. Again, the special switch allows you to roll
out some of that low frequency throb.
Chorus C - Tremolo Chorus: A blend of chorus & tremolo together.
It's a unique effect that has a great feel. The depth knob controls
the tremolo depth and the special switch controls the chorus.
Vibe A - Single Vibe: This is reminiscent of some of those classic
vibe sounds with some added versatility. In this mode the special
switch controls the resonance intensity.
Vibe B - Classic Vibrato: This is a full featured vibrato that will give
you more warble than you'll ever need. The special switch adds
compression to the vibrato sound which is a match made in heaven.
Hint, if you just want to use the compressor, turn the width to 0.
Now you've got a 10th mode....but who's counting.
Vibe C - Rotary:This mode gives you the Doppler spin and
amplitude modulation of a rotating speaker cab. The special switch
pumps up the horn volume to give you a bit more of that driving
whirl.
Flanger A - 60's Tape Flange: Smooth, wide, and deep. Try it with
the warm tone, and with your favourite overdrive in front of it. The
special switch brings up the regeneration.
Flanger B - 70's Flanger: It inverts the phase of the feedback for a
more aggressive sound. Again, the special switch brings up the
regeneration.
Flanger C - Thru-Zero Flanger: The delayed signal actually passes
right through the dry signal and goes back in time, defying the laws
of physics, and giving you a really cool flange sound. Again, the
special switch brings up the regeneration.

Advanced Configuration
Entering the advanced configuration: Unplug the power from the
Nebulus. Plug the power back in while holding down both the
preset and bypass stompswitches. The bypass LED should blink
twice to confirm that you are in the advanced configuration.
Modifying the advanced configuration: Each toggle controls a
configuration parameter. When a parameter is modified, the preset
LED will blink to confirm that a change has been made.
Exiting the advanced configuration: Hold down both the preset and
bypass stompswitches. The bypass LED will blink twice to confirm
that the Nebulus has exited the advanced configuration.
Factory reset: While in the advanced configuration, press the
following stompswitches in order: preset, bypass, preset, bypass.
The LEDs will do a little dance to confirm that the Nebulus has been
reset to its factory settings. Please note that this overwrites the
current presets with the factory presets.
