CAPTAIN COCONUT 2 OPERATING TIPS

Captain Coconut 2 was designed with professional performing and record-

ing guitarists in mind. The following tips are provided so that you can get the

most out of this unique vintage multi-effects device.

Volume swell - You can get some great volume swell effects by activating the

Octave and FuzzFoot, and then carefully tweaking their settings. By using the

Octave to super-overdrive the FuzzFoot, you can cause to the Fuzzfoot to

overcompensate. This cuts off the attack of the notes and fades in as the

notes sustain.

Manual phase - By activating the Provibe, selecting Chorus and turning the

Width control all the way down, you can use the Center control to manually

phase. This can yield some very interesting tones, useful for recording and

combining different guitar tracks.

Vintage tones - In a normal rock and roll guitar rig, the guitar amp is used to

add a final stage of overdrive. By tweaking the controls on the FuzzFoot and

selecting a weak, gritty sound with the boost and Grit controls, you can get

some great vintage tones. You can also do this by inserting a tube-type over-

drive pedal after the FuzzFoot.

Guitar volume and tone knobs - The controls on your guitar can be used in

conjunction with Captain Coconut in order to get some great tones. For

example, try turning your guitar's tone knob all the way down. With the

Octave, you will get a more pronounced upper octave effect, however the

high notes will sound weak. With the FuzzFoot, you will get a very fluid,

instantly-recognizable vintage tone. Also, try turning your guitar volume knob

down. When set properly, the FuzzFoot cleans up very nicely for rhythm pas-

sages. When it's time for your lead, turn your guitar volume knob up. This

will bring on the classic Fuzz tone, sustain and the right amount of level

increase.

Octave tones - For the best Octave tones, leave the Octave Drive control at

minimum. As you turn the Drive control up, the octave tone gets replaced by

more of a standard fuzz tone. At maximum drive, the Octave produces a

nasty saturated tone that can be useful in it's own right, but it doesn't contain

much of the upper octave. To get the maximum upper octave, keep the Drive

control down, select your guitar's neck pickup and play on the upper strings

at around the 10th to 12th fret. You can also roll back your guitar's tone

control and kick in the FuzzFoot for additional gain.

In order to get all of the classic Univibe tones that you've

heard on recordings by Hendrix and Trower, you will need to tweak

the Provibe's Width and Center controls. One big reason for this is

because the Univibe included an internal bias adjustment that played

a big part in the sound of the unit. The Provibe offers this adjustment

on the front panel via the Center control.

By using the individual Input and Output jacks, you can

treat the Octave, Provibe and FuzzFoot as separate, individual units.

With two standard ¼" patch cables, you can change the order of

effects and insert other effects. This is very useful if you want to repro-

duce all of Hendrix's live tones, since he didn't settle on one order of

effects.

Keep in mind that the vintage tones you hear

on recordings are the result of several different variables. They

include: Player, guitar, guitar pickups, guitar cables, pedals, amps,

mics, mic placement, console input channels, console eq, tape, and

on and on.

!!!CAPTAIN COCONUT 2 WARNING!!!

This device delivers some serious fuzz, phasing and octave sounds. It's very tempting

to over-use it, to turn everything on and wail endlessly. Here's some good advice: be

subtle in your use of effects. If you kick in the FuzzFoot, Provibe and Octave every

time you do a lead, you will quickly annoy your listeners - and create a lot of noise. If

you go back and listen to recordings of Hendrix and Trower, you'll rarely find them

using all these effects simultaneously or even continuously through songs. It's really

true that the less you use an effect, the more effective it is. A couple of licks here and

there say it all. Keep in mind that the Octave and FuzzFoot are high gain effects and

are capable of creating a huge amount of noise, especially when used with a wah

wah pedal and a guitar with single pickups. Take all that, and add in the swishing of

the Provibe, and you've got the noise generator from hell. If that's the sound you're

looking for, Enjoy!
