Range: 0-100 2 CHOR. MODE (Chorus Mode) Determines the effect applied when Tremolo is switched off: a slow chorus effect (SLOW) or STOP. Use the SLOW setting when you want to have a constant rotating speaker sound. (3) Realtime control of Tremolo effect Once the Tremolo effect has been turned on and set, you can control the effect in real time from the panel or from the left footswitch. Panel Control Simply press the TREMOLO (FAST) button in the DISPLAY SELECT section to turn the Tremolo effects on and off while you're playing. This button functions just like the fast/slow switch on an actual rotating speaker cabinet. When Tremolo is on, the rotation effect is fast; when off (Chorus), it is slow. The speed change is gradual, effectively simulating the slowing down and speeding up of a rotating speaker. NOTE: The EL-87's various effects include Glide effect. See page 131 for the information on Glide. Footswitch Control You can also use one of the footswitches to control the Tremolo effect in the same way, if the footswitch has been properly assigned.
