I got it. I like it. Can't decide where I like it, so wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on settings. I mainly bought it for thickening. So far, I like Level and Detune at 2:00.

Cheers.
 
Are there cent equivalents to the adjustment hash marks on the pedal face?

For a slight VH Fair warning amount of detune anywhere from -1 cents, -3 cents, -5 cents. I heard it was -1 but -3/-5 works just fine.

For a more chorusy type detune like VH Balance it was -9 cents, +9 cents. I use -10 since my PS-5 goes in 5 cent increments.
 
Been looking for something like this for a couple weeks since I listened to VH's F.U.C.K. for the first time in years. Just remembered that I have detune in a RP1000 that I have on the shelf. Need to break that back out.

No, unfortunatley, it's only + and - on the Detune dial. No other markings.
 
I have one - you just have to use your ears. It is a cool pedal though!

Thanks, brother. I'm going to spend some more time with it and do that. How do you like to set yours?
 
Yeah, not much you can do with that pedal, lol. I think I have them at 2 oclock and 10 oclock. I generally think - detune sounds better than +.
 
Played the pedal in band jam last night and it's all kinds of kick ass fun. My bandmates loved it as well. I'm not one to have an effect on all the time ala Zakk with chorus, so I didn't do that, but I did use it a lot for solos and it was so much fun and added dimension.

I did use it for entire songs, but lowered the level a bit and it did add some thickness to the tone, or the effect of it sounding bigger, which is exactly what I bought it for.

I love this thing. Great snag. I don't care that it's not 'exact' or optimal compared to whatever Eddie used and that I'm not running an actual stereo rig...so if you're like me and want close to that effect in a mono setup, this pedal is doing it for me. Highly recommend.
