Space Chorus Pilot's Handbook

Output your effects mono to a standard amplifier, or to a stereo setup.

Be sure to connect your guitar to the mono input jack on your ToneCore.

You can feed the stereo input of your ToneCore with a mono or stereo effect pedal instead of a guitar.

Greetings and salutations! Thank you for inviting the Line 6 Space Chorus 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 modulation speed
- AMBER (flashing) - Effect is in bypass (off). Light is flashing to show modulation speed
- 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 to use in combination with your ToneCore. If you're feeding a mono signal to your Space Chorus, use the MONO/L jack. Like most pedals, inserting a plug into this jack will turn on the power to your ToneCore. Disconnect from both input jacks when the ToneCore is not being used.

Out Jacks

Use standard guitar cables to connect to the inputs of a guitar amp, or the inputs of another effect that will feed your amp. For mono, use the MONO/L jack.

Foot Switch

Stomp on this to turn the effect sound processing on and off. See the Tap Tempo section to learn how to set speed with your feet.

SPEED

COLOR

DEPTH

SPACE CHORUS

TAP TEMPO: TAP LIGHTLY

CHORUS · TRI · VIBRATO

Color knob modes for Vibrato:

Blue

Speed

Adjusts the effect sound from a slow sweep to a speedy warble. With chorus, you'll usually want to reduce depth as you increase speed to avoid overly dramatic effects. (See Tap Tempo to do this with your feet.)

Depth

Dial in the amount of effect, from subtle to dramatic.

Color

The Color knob simultaneously adjusts many behind-the-scenes details of your sound:

• With the Chorus model, the Color knob lets you go from vintage analog tones (knob pointing left) to more modern chorus sounds (knob pointing right).
• For the Tri model, Color gives you a choice from warm and mellow sound to shimmering and bright.
• For Vibrato, Color works more like a three-way switch for Vintage, Blue and Euro style sounds, as shown to the left.

Model Switch

Give this a flick to reconfigure the virtual circuitry inside your Space Chorus, and enjoy three distinctly different sound "flavors":

Chorus

This model lets you get tones in the style of both vintage and modern analog chorus circuits with "bucket brigade" electronics. Feed it a mono in, and you'll get chorused sound on the left, and unprocessed "dry" sound on the right. Feed it stereo, and you'll get processed sound to both left and right outputs.

Tri

Get thick, richly modulated tone from this model based on the legendary multi-voiced chorus unit that is a treasured "secret weapon" in many great studios.

Vibrato

This model gives a warbling pitch variation to your sound, in the style of no-dry-mix vibrato units.

Tap Tempo

Put your foot to work and get your Space Chorus in the groove! Using the innovative ToneCore double-action footswitch, you can tap a couple times and have the pulsations of your effects instantly match your tempo. Here's what you need to know:

• Whether the effect is active or bypassed, you can tap the footswitch lightly to set your effect speed. Your first two taps establish the tempo. Any additional taps within 3 seconds will be averaged in.
• 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 speed, the tapped value overrides the current setting of the Speed knob. Whenever the Speed knob is turned, it overrides the last value entered with the Tap Tempo foot switch.
• The indicator light flashes the tempo in green when the effect is on and amber when the effect is off.

Battery Access Instructions

1)Depress pedal fully.

3) Squeezing hinge, raise pedal to reveal battery.
2) While holding pedal, squeeze both sides of hinge as shown.

Battery Access Instructions

Power Supply

Connect an optional Line 6 DC-1 power supply and you'll never need a 9-volt battery again! It is also compatible with most popular 9 Volt DC stomp boxes. Using the power supply will disconnect the battery.
