Grectings and salutations! Thank you for inviting the Line 6 Liqua-Flange delay pedal into your life. Effect On-Off/ Power Indicator Light The Power Indicator Light on your ToneCore uses three colors to indicate the pedal's state: + GREEN (flashing)- Effect is engaged (on). Light is flashing to show delay time + AMBER (flashing)- Effect is in bypass (off). Light is flashing to show delay time *RED (flashing) - Batteries need replacing This low power indication will override all other states. Power Jack Connect an optional ToneCore-compatible Line 6 power supply like the DC-1, and you'll never need a 9-volt battery again! Connections and Power Indicator Light In Jacks Use a standard guitar cable to connect your guitar, or the output of another effect ro use in combination with your ToneCore. If you're fceding a mono signal to your Liqua-Flange, use the MONO/L jack. Like most pedals, inserting a plug into this jack will turn on the power to your ToneCore. Disconnect both input plugs from jacks when the ToneCore is not being used. Out Jacks Use a standard guitar cable to connect to the inputs of a guitar amp, or the inputs of another effect that will fecd your amp. For mono, use the MONOLL jack Foot Switch Stomp on this to turn the effect sound processing on and off. See Tap Tempo sectionto learn how to set the time with your feet.

Model Switch Give this a flick to reconfigure the virtual cireuitry inside your Liqua-Flange, and enjoy three distinctly different sound ‘flavors” Digital Gives you straighe up Flanging, with crystal clear fidelity. The wet signal has a flat frequency response. Liquid This model captures the sound ofthe original 705 studio rack langer whose modulation is offset from each other. Ie gives you classic dual delay lines Analog Gives a vintage analog bucket brigade delay sound, with its darker distorted tone. Wet signal has a filtered frequency response.

Polarity Switch Allows you to flip the phase of the flangers delay line. When summed together with the original signal, polarity is very effective in altering the intensity ofthe flange effect (in combination with the feedback control). Tap Tempo Put your foot to work and get your Flange in the groove! Using the innovative ToneCore double-action footswitch, you can tap a couple times and have your flange speed match your tempo. Here what you need to know: + Whether the cffecr is active or bypassed, you can tap the footswitch lighely to set the speed. Your first two taps establish the tempo. Any additional taps within 3 seconds will be averaged in. Controls + Taps will be ignored if the footswitch is pressed all the way down to turn the effect processing on/off. + Any time the Tap Tempo switch is used to alter the speed, the tapped value overrides the current setting ofthe Speed knob. Whenever the Speed knob is tumed, it overrides the last value entered with the Tap Tempo switch + Liqua-Flange* indicator light flashes the tempo in green when the effect is on and amber when the effect is off. The light will always flash at quarter note speed.

Speed controls the rate at which the delay lines delay time is modulated. Turning the speed control fully counter clockwise, to the OFF position, stops the modulation of the delay line completely. FDBK increases the amount ofwet signal ed back into the input of the effect. Increasing feedback (clockwvise rotation) will increase the intensity of the effect. Depth controls how widely the delay line will be modulated. Time controls the amount the delay line is delayed as compared to the original signal. The fully counter clockwise position, labeled ZERO, indicates the time difference berween the delay line and the original signal o. At this point the vo signals are said ro be "in phase”. If you were to switch the polarity to negative, éhat is common beneen the two signals would cancel out completely.

LFO Wave Shape Knob Saw Down: À sawtooth wave has a shape that resembles the teeth on the blade of a saw. Within one cycle this wave fall linearly, then immediately rises to it's starting point Saw Up: Is an inverted version of Saw Down’, where the wave has a smooth linear rise and an immediate drop at the endofits cycle. Env Down: This modulation source uses an envelope follower to track the amplitude variations of the input signal and produce a control signal that modulates the flanger's delay time. Env Up: An inverted version of 'Env Down’. Sine: Sinusoidal waveform as the modulation source. Step: Uses a modulation waveform produced by a random value generator where each cycle ofthe LEO produces a different modulation level. Controls Random: Same as "Step" but with a smoothing filter applied to the output of the LFO, producing smooth value changes with each LFO cycle Vintage: Simulates the unique waveform of the classic MXR flanger. Chorus: Uses a triangle modulation waveform with an extended offset and range to produce a chorus effect. Trig Up: Uses a modulation source derived from attack detection dsp, this in turn triggers an envelope which rises linearly. The rise time is determined by the speed knob. Trig Down: Same as Trig Up' but with a falling envelope The functions marked by the * combine our left and right inputs for processing, so the effected part of the signal will be summed to mono, while your dry signal remains stereo)
