Origin Effects DELUXE61 Bias Tremolo

The DELUXE61 is a full-featured overdrive, tremolo and preamp pedal that can be used with traditional amps,
power amps or direct to an audio interface. Using all-analogue circuitry to replicate the entire signal path of a
classic valve amplifier, the DELUXE61 provides very vintage tone that’s equally at home in a traditional or modern
rig.
Origin Effects founder, Simon Keats says “The DELUXE61 is so much more than just a tremolo pedal. It’s a
complete ‘amp recreation’, giving you all the tones of the famous Brown Deluxe, whether it’s soft, swampy trem
or Southern Rock crunch. The new name conveys the pedal's true capabilities, sitting alongside our MAGMA57,
which pays tribute to Magnatone’s 200 series amps.”
Though the name has changed, the sounds and circuitry remain the same, with the DELUXE61 pedals receiving a
slight adjustment in output level to match the MAGMA57 pedal.

FEATURES:
• Rich clean tones and growly overdrive voiced after the 1961 Fender® Brown Deluxe

• Powerful tone-shaping Post-Drive EQ
• Footswitch input jack for tap tempo and effects switcher integration
• High-current, low-noise electronics
• Ultra-high input impedance
• High-quality buffered bypass
• Advanced power supply filtering and protection
• Premium components throughout
• Designed and hand-built in England

CONTROLS:
DRIVE: The DRIVE control behaves like the volume knob on a vintage non-master-volume guitar amplifier. Set
anticlockwise for clean sounds, or turn it up for more overdrive.
TONE: Turn the TONE knob clockwise for a brighter sound. Turn anticlockwise to tame highs. At lower DRIVE
settings, the TONE knob will boost high frequencies above 12 o’clock and cut highs below 12 o’clock. With DRIVE
pushed past 12 o’clock, the TONE control progressively loses the ability to boost until, with DRIVE at maximum,
it’s essentially a high cut control.
OUTPUT: The output control sets the pedal’s overall output level. This control comes after the pedal’s simulated
valve amp circuitry, meaning that you can adjust output level without affecting the tone or character of the
overdrive.
SPEED: Turn clockwise to increase the rate of the tremolo effect. The range of the SPEED control is set by the
three-position MULTI switch.
INTENSITY: The INTENSITY knob controls the depth of the tremolo – in other words, how much the tremolo will
vary the amplitude of the signal. Turn clockwise to increase the depth of the effect.
MULTI: The MULTI switch multiplies the tremolo speed set by the SPEED knob (x1, x2 or x3). This is particularly
useful when using an external tap tempo footswitch, letting you set tremolo speeds much faster than your foot
can tap.
SHAPE: The SHAPE switch allows you to choose between two different LFO waveforms - SINE WAVE (the classic
bias tremolo sound) or FULL WAVE (an asymmetrical waveform with a ‘choppier’ feel – useful at slower speeds or
when playing with more overdriven sounds)
POST-DRIVE EQ: This proprietary filter ensures compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers. Instead of altering

your amp or its tone controls to suit the Deluxe61, set your amp for the desired clean sound then use the Post-
Drive EQ controls to tailor the pedal’s output accordingly. Use with bright amps (EQ1), dark, mid-heavy amps

(EQ2) or flat power amps, PA systems and recording interfaces (P/AMP). Fine tune the POST-DRIVE EQ shape
using the ADJ control.
