Product Usage Instructions:
Mode Toggle:
This toggle switch allows you to select between upward sweep,
downward sweep, or sample and hold modes.
Range Control:
Adjust the sensitivity of the envelope in Up and Down modes. In
Sample and Hold mode, this control adjusts the speed of the
effect.
Filter:
The Filter knob crossfades between high pass and low pass
filters. High pass is fully counter-clockwise, low pass is fully
clockwise, and the center position is band pass. Use this knob to
blend filters for different sounds.
Resonance:
Control the filter feedback with the Resonance knob. Increasing
this control adds more body and ring to the filter voice.
Power:
Use a standard 9V DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm
barrel connector for optimal performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

What’s up bud! Welcome to your brand new Spatial Delivery! The Spatial Delivery is an oddball, a voltage controlled envelope filter that allows you to step outside the universe of funk while reinforcing your secret love affair with auto-wah. It has 3 modes- Up Sweep, Down Sweep and Sample and Hold. With Range, Resonance and Filter controls you can get super emphasized filter sweeps in the Up and Down modes. The Range, in combination with pick attack, controls the sensitivity and reaction time of the envelope and thus the width of the frequency sweep. The higher the Range and harder the attack equals a faster reaction time and higher frequency sweep and vice versa. Reign in the controls a bit, add your favorite overdrive/fuzz after the Spatial Delivery and you’ve got a real nice resonant, cut-through-the-mix lead tone. Crank the controls back up and you’re a neo-bedroom rock god. In the Sample and Hold mode the filter is controlled by random voltage and the Range controls the speed. Add a sub octave into the mix (before or after) and you’ve just created a deep fried space droid computer freak-out. The filter can be cross faded between high pass (counter clockwise), band pass (center) and low pass (clockwise) for a wide variety of voices. The Resonance control goes from zero to the brink of oscillation and adds more body and ring to the filter voice. We recommend placing the Spatial Delivery first in your signal chain. However, due to its envelope control, experimenting with pairing and signal chain placement can
take the potential of the Spatial Delivery even further. Each Spatial Delivery
is hand made bit by damn bit in silver studded Akron Ohio.
This device is true bypass and uses relay based “soft touch” switching. Audio
will not pass without power.
Controls Mode Toggle: This toggles between upward sweep, downward sweep or
sample and hold.
Range: Adjusts the sensitivity of the envelope in Up and Down mode. In Sample
and Hold mode, this controls the speed.
Filter: This crossfades between high pass and low pass filters and allows you
to get everything in betwee. High pass is fully counter clockwise, low pass is
full clockwise and center is band pass. This is much more useful than a simple
switch because it allows you to blend the filters for different sounds!
Resonance: This is the filter feedback control, it adds more body and ring to
the filter voice.
Power Please use a standard 9 volt DC power supply intended for musical
instruments with a negative center 2.1mm barrel.
Current Draw: 69ma
