Algal Bloom pamphlet and favorite settings?

[sonidero]

It's like the left and right knobs (Level and Gain, respectively) were moved in under the two middle knobs, instead of the arch shape they're in on the larger case.

That's what I thought, I just play them and don't really think about it... I was rockin out right now and noticed they're both set with the them both at about 1 o'clock... They do different things where they are though... The Algal sounds AWESOME with almost ANY other pedal and can polish a turd like nobody's business...

I'll post the current v2 manual here when I get back in the office.

(Only the Algal Bloom v2 and Velcrobot come with paper manuals to explain a couple control oddities and save me on some email questions. Otherwise, I try to keep my paper use limited. Plus, with my other pedals, and really with all of them, I like users to go in blind and experiment. Part of my joy with new pedals is just turning them in and blindly twisting knobs. )

The Algal Bloom's "Home Setting," in my mind, follows:
Gain: Full right
Bloom: Noon
Starve: Full right / full power (early ABs starve as you turn right)
Choke Toggle: off (up)
Voice Toggle: standard (middle)

Here's the slip I include regarding Choke behavior:
