Building off of the lush, tonal landscapes that the Julia
Analog Chorus/Vibrato created, Julianna is an all analog, digital LFO,
stereo chorus/vibrato with new expanded features. Julianna is able to
produce mild smooth chorus, to seasick vibrato, to everywhere in
between. Familiar controls like Lag, Dry-Chorus-Vibrato Blend, and
selectable LFO wave shapes are all still here, but Julianna employs some
new tricks: The Secondary LFO speed, modulation drift, tap/expression
control and momentary features will have you commanding all new kinds of
sounds not found in traditional chorus pedals.
The Julianna contains all of the sounds and controls that the Julia has but adds these deluxe features:
• Tap Tempo Control: Set the rate of the LFO with the Rate knob or the tap tempo switch.
• Stereo In/Out Jacks: Run mono in/mono out, mono in/stereo out, stereo in/stereo out.
• Momentary Secondary LFO Speed: Ramp up or slow down to a second LFO rate. See manual for details.
• Drift Function: Gently speed up and slow down the LFO
rate. Kinda like having a little robot inside your pedal moving the Rate
knob up and down. See manual for details. You'll like this one.
• Random LFO Shape: In addition to sine and triangle,
Julianna adds a random wave shape option to modulate the pitch of your
signal.
• Tap Division: Select quarter note, quarter note triplet or eighth note multiplier to scale a tapped in tempo.
• Expression Control: Control Depth, Rate or both with an expression pedal.
• External Tap In.

Unlike most other chorus pedals, the
Julianna and Julia have a special feature called Lag control. The Lag
knob lets you set the center delay time that the LFO modulates. From
smooth and tight modulation at lower settings, to a warbling detune at
maximum, the Lag knob adds a new dimension to the traditional
chorus/vibrato landscape.
D-C-V KNOB
The DCV knob
sets the ratio of dry to wet signal through the mono channel of the
Julianna. Traditional mono chorus sounds can be heard with the knob set
around noon. Pitch vibrato is found in the full clockwise position. The
ground in between offers unique blends of chorus and vibrato not
commonly found on other chorus pedals.
When both outputs are connected, set the DCV knob to full
counterclockwise to send your dry signal to the mono output and vibrato
signal to the stereo output for a traditional stereo chorus sound. Explore
other variations by turning the DCV knob up slightly to add some
vibrato signal to the dry output changing the stereo image.
