Portal Supreme is a mixer/blender pedal/fx loop, there are 2 independent loops (send/return jacks on top), both signal paths have their respective volume knobs, phase toggles and sync toggles, the amount of blend is set by the envelope (input signal dynamics) or a tap tempo multi waveshape. Bypassing the pedal(s) inside a loop or plugging a cable directly (in-out) will allow mixing the dry (input signal), instead of mixing 2 effect paths. The sync toggles, will allow to run the 2 loops in parallel (both toggles down) or have a loop static (no mix) and the other one fading in and out (one toggle up and the other down) or fade in and out both loops (both toggles up).
The envelope section has controls for attack, decay, sensitivity and 2 knobs for the amount of envelope, so you can fine tune to your liking and to be able to handle different type of signals, plus a direction toggle, so you can select which loop is on when you play soft and which will be on when you play hard or vice-versa. The LFO has a tap speed/tap ratio multiplier, amount controls. In LFO mode turning down one volume will produce tremolo type of sounds and in envelope mode will produce violin/slowgear/sidechain type of sounds
The volume in the fx loop is post, so it won’t clip/saturate the units inside. You can also only connect to the return jack on the loop, in case you want to mix/add radio signals, samplers, noise/bleep boxes / other instruments or want to add the unused stereo jacks on some pedals.
IN/OUT/LOOP Jacks/DC jack on top
Envelope Section Controls: Attack, Decay, Sensitivity, Envelope Amount and direction of the loop toggle.
LFO: Wave selector, Rate/Ratio, LFO amount and tap/rate toggle and tap footswitch.
Audio Path: Volume control and phase toggle for each loop.
Loop toggle: when this toggles are up the loops will be synced to the lfo/envelope, down the loop will only react to the loop knob.
Phase toggle: It will change the phase of the loop signal.
Middle Footswitch: selects if the modulation source is the envelope or the LFO.
