Orbit dBucket Flanger User manual

Brand: Orbit

Model: dBucket Flanger

Type: User manual

Orbit dBucket Flanger is a high-performance flanger pedal that provides a wide range of flanging effects, from subtle to extreme. With its advanced features and intuitive controls, the dBucket Flanger is a versatile tool for guitarists and producers alike.

The dBucket Flanger offers three LFO types (log, lin, through zero) and three feedback types (positive, negative, pos/neg), giving you a vast array of sonic possibilities. The pedal also features a mix control for blending the wet and dry signals, a width control for adjusting the intensity of the flanging effect, and a speed control for setting the LFO rate. The dBucket Flanger is also equipped with an expression pedal input, allowing you to control any of the pedal's parameters in real time.

Switches between positive, negative and

positive/negative feedback. With positive

feedback, the wet and dry signals are in

phase, producing a jet-like swish when

higher REGEN settings are used.

Negative Feedback creates ‘hollow’ or

watery’ ﬂange sounds. The +/- Feedback

settings uses a unique frequency

dependent feedback that combines

elements of both Positive and Negative

to create new sonic possibilities.

Controls the

feedback

intensity of the

ﬂanging effect.

Adjusts ﬂanger

LFO speed.

Adjusts ﬂanger

LFO width.

Switches between logarithmic, linear and

through zero LFOs. The LOG setting produces

an even-sounding frequency sweep.

LIN setting produces a frequency sweep

that speeds up as it goes higher, and slows

down as you go lower. With the LOG and

LIN settings respectively, you can cover

two classic ﬂanger sounds with the ﬂip of a

switch. Thru 0 advances the wet signal ahead

of the dry signal for dramatic ﬂanging effects

unavailable in most ﬂangers.

Adjusts wet/dry mix.

Most ﬂangers don’t

include this control

but it can be very

handy if an extreme

ﬂanging sound

needs to be tamed

without altering the

fundamental effect

sound.

Controls the delay

time of the ﬂanging

effect. Higher

settings produce

higher frequency

ﬂanging effects,

while lower settings

produce lower

frequency ﬂanging

effects. Its impact

is most easily heard

with lower Width

settings and higher

Regen settings.

Press to select saved favorite sound. When

FAVORITE LED is lit the favorite setting is

engaged. When each knob is turned, the

LED will indicate the saved favorite position

of the knob. Push and hold the foot switch

to save a new favorite sound.

Engages and disengages

effect. Bypass mode is always

true bypass. LED on indicates

that the effect is engaged.
