Product Overview
From the manufacturer:
The 2024 version of the Wavelord has no circuit changes and a brand new layout. It now uses
16mm pots for all controls and includes a bypass board.
The Wavelord is tremolo implementation of the Electric Druid TAPLFO3 chip. It features many options preferred by tremolo users such as tap tempo and multiple tweak-able waveforms (including some very unusual and not often heard ones). The Wavelord also features an external jack for linking to another optical effect allowing you to use the TAPLFO3 engine to drive a second effect.
Controls
• Tap: Sets the quarter note pulse based on the average of two or more taps.
• Tempo: Sets the tempo via a pot as an alternative to tapping the BPM.
• Mult: The multiplier sets the quarter note pulse division. From left to right this is 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x,
2x, 3x, 4x (note some tempos at 4x speed will simply be too fast for the opto device to respond
so it will do nothing).
• Depth: Intensity of the tremolo effect.
• Dist: Changes the duty cycle to push the peaks or valleys of each waveform to the beginning or
end of the cycle. Zero distortion is at 50%.
• Vol: Sets the output volume of the Wavelord.
• Waveform: This rotary switch selects between 8 waveforms per bank.
• Bank: This switch toggles between bank 1 and 2, giving you a total of 16 possible tremolo
waveforms.
• T1: This trimmer sets the gain recovery after the LDR in the opto device. This is set by turning
the Depth knob to zero, Vol to about 2/3rd then adjusting T1 for unity gain with bypass. This
setting should produce minimal distortion at the output and allow for a bit of boost when you turn
VOL all the way up.
