The Dubscope is a complex machine, it has a Gated Fuzz voice, a monophonic octave down fuzz voice, a low pass filter, a 5 step sequencer and a LFO, plus the gated fuzz can be send into oscillation for pure awesome bleeping patterns. The step sequencer controls the rate (or tap ratios) of the LFO that can be synced to control the cutoff frequency of the filter, the volume of the gated fuzz and/or the volume of the octave down.
You can tap a tempo, and the sequencer will adjust the ratio of that tempo based on the position of the steps knobs allowing to create some rhythmic patterns. The sequencer can be synced to the tapped tempo to change from each step or you can trigger manually when you decide to go to the next step.
It can be used with guitar, bass, loops, synths, radios and drum machines.
Toggles:
Fuzz toggle: syncs the volume of the gated fuzz voice to the LFO.
Down toggle: syncs the volume of the gated fuzz voice to the LFO.
Filter toggle: syncs the cutoff frequency of the filter to the LFO.
Octave Toggle: selects if the octave fuzz is -1 or -2 octaves down.
Sequencer scroll: selects if the sequencer is always running or is manually triggered
Sequencer Length: selects if the sequencer is 3/5/4 steps long.
LFO type toggle: selects if the LFO is tap tempo (down) or the rate is set by the knob.
Knobs:
Filter voice: controls for volume, range and range fine tune (range sets the cutoff via the lfo or manually).
Gated Fuzz: volume, gate intensity knobs, oscillation range and modulation for the oscillation
Octave down: volume and intensity (tone) knobs.
LFO: wave knob
Sequencer: knobs for each steps (5 in total)
Footswitches:
Master: master bypass of the whole unit
Fuzz: bypass of the gated fuzz and octave fuzz voice.
Filter: bypass of the filter section.
Tap: tap tempo to for the lfo and for the sequencer.
Scroll: manual trigger of the sequencer steps.
