What’s different from AdrenaLinn I?
AdrenaLinn II gives you everything the original AdrenaLinn
does–beat synched filter effects, amp modeling and drum machine–plus
lots more, using a more powerful internal computer and expanded
memory:
- Redesigned for simplified operation—quickly and easily
get the sounds you want
- 12 new superb amp models for a total of 24
- New filter types for cool and strange new sounds
- Delay time nearly tripled to 2.8 seconds for simple looping-like
sounds
- Foot selection of presets and tap tempo
- Improved drum sounds, presets and drumbeats, and lots of new
features all around!
New to AdrenaLinn? Don’t know what it is?
AdrenaLinn II is an award-winning
effects processor for guitar, keyboard or bass that combines 3 products
in one:
- A beat-synched multi-effects processor
Tremolo, flanging, rotary, delay, random filtering and other modulation
effects—including programmed sequences of filtered tones
or note arpeggios—in perfect synch to the internal drumbeat
or MIDI. Also included are classic filter effects like auto-wah,
guitar synth and talk box!
- A superb amp modeler
24 superb models of classic guitar amps over the past 40 years,
distortion boxes, a clean preamp, and a few original amp models
of our own.
- A programmable drum machine
A great-sounding beat box with 200 drumbeats and over 40 sounds.
Beat-Synched Filter Effects
What are beat-synched filter effects? Examples include
tremolo,
auto-pan,
filter
tremolo, flanger,
chorus,
rotary,
vibrato
and more, all in perfect synch to the internal drumbeats or to MIDI
clock. (That out-of-synch tremolo on your guitar amp won’t
seem as useful anymore.) Plus all new effects including:
- Random
filtering–like a new random wah pedal position
on every 1/8 or 1/16 note. Very cool solo sound when used with
our amp models.
- Random
flanging–a new random flanger tone on every
1/8 or 1/16 note. Great for twangy arpeggios or held chords.
- Tremolo
sequences–how about reggae tremolo? Or swing
tremolo?
- Filter
sequences–like a 2 measure rhythmic sequence of
wah pedal movements. An incredible idea generator.
- Pitched
arpeggio sequences–infuses your playing with
a sequence of pitched musical notes. Very weird/cool.

Guitars" CD: "Hot"

(2.4MB). These consist of nothing but an AdrenaLinn and a ReDrum
drum track. Click here

Classic Note-Triggered Filter Effects
Did we mention filters? AdrenaLinn II contains emulations
of various audio filters including wah pedal and classic Moog
and Oberheim
synth filters. You’ll get plenty of auto-wah
effects, guitar
synthesizer sounds, volume
swells, and even a talk
box emulation without having to stick that damn plastic
tube in your mouth.
Superb Amp Modeling
AdrenaLinn II also includes 24 superb modeled simulations
of classic amps, distortion boxes, a clean preamp and even a few
new amps or our design (click to hear each):
For distortion lovers, AdrenaLinn’s models don’t stop
at the original amp’s maximum gain. They don’t even
stop at 11. They go to over 1600 times overdrive! Go scramble some
eggs and your note will still be sustaining when you get back.
Beat-Synched Delay with simple looping
The audio delay is always
synched to the drumbeat or to MIDI. Just select a note
value–1/4 note, 1/2 note, or any other–and the delay
stays with you. With longer delays like a full measure, you get
simple looping
features: play a chord, then solo over it when it plays back perfectly
in synch on the next bar.
Programmable Drum Machine
The internal drum machine has 100 factory and 100 user
drumbeats from hard
rock to lo-fi
to dance
to soft,
and over 40 excellent drum sounds. Run the drums through the amps
and beat-synched filter processing for some truly rude processed
beats.
Easy to use. Really.
To play one of the 100 factory presets, simply find a preset
in the list printed on the back of the manual, turn the PRESET knob
to select the preset number and play. You can also press START to
hear the drumbeat as you play.
To adjust any of the effect, amp or delay settings that make up
a preset, simply find the setting in the Edit Preset section in
the center of the front panel, press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons
to light the light next to it, then turn the knob above it. That’s
it.
Selecting and tweaking effects has been greatly simplified from
the original AdrenaLinn. Simply set the Effect parameter (in the
Edit Preset section) to one of the 14 effect types shown at the
left side of the panel, and then select one of the effect variations
using the Variation parameter. Fine-tune the effect with the other
6 settings, or deep-edit with 4 additional hidden parameters.
