- Effect Level Knob: Controls the volume of the sustained sound. Turn clockwise to increase the level, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Mode Switch (FAST/SLOW/LATCH): Selects the decay characteristic of the sustained sound.
- RAPID: Provides a quick decay of the sustained sound after the footswitch is released.
- RALENT: Offers a gradual, slower decay of the sustained sound after the footswitch is released.
