The Gemini VTR

The Celestial Effects Gemini VTR (Vibrato, Tremolo and Reverb). The Gemini VTR is a true bypass pedal. It features three independent guitar effects housed in one space saving enclosure. Built like a tank and using the best components available, this pedal will keep you rocking for many years to come.

The first effect in the signal chain is a true pitch shifting vibrato effect which utilizes an optically coupled LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) firing two phase shifting engines to produce warm vibrato effects based on but not limited to the vibrato features found on old Magnatone amplifiers. The controls include Depth, Speed and Duty Cycle adjustments as well as a Square Wave/Triangle "V" Wave switch. With the switch set to square wave, the vibrato has a more prominent shift in pitch. The vibrato effect becomes smoother with the switch set to triangle wave. Two internal trimpot adjustments are provided to set the amount of vibrato volume and vibrato tone. The adjustments are accessible by removing the bottom cover.

Next in the signal chain is a volume attenuating tremolo effect which utilizes an optically coupled LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) as well.The controls include Depth, Speed and Duty Cycle adjustments. Two internal trimpot adjustments are provided to set the amount of tremolo volume and tremolo tone. The adjustments are accessible by removing the bottom cover.

Last in the signal chain is analog signal opamp based path/digital tank simulator designed reverb effect. The signal retains all the nuances of your playing and the reverb is lush, deep and plays nice with any other effect including boosts, overdrives, fuzzes and distortions. Two internal trimpot adjustments are provided to set the amount of reverb volume and reverb tone. The adjustments are accessible by removing the bottom cover.

Finish it all off with paralleled dual output jacks and your ready to add these three versatile effects to your rig!

Celestial Effects recommends the use of a HIGH QUALITY 9 VDC regulated power adapter with the Gemini VTR pedal like the Carl Martin Powerjack 9VDC power supply or similar. This power supply is capable of providing 1000 mA of power and is noise free. The more the capacity of the power supply, the less chance of noise and hum due to a power supply being pushed to its current capability limits.
