    Can anyone help me with a copy of the manual for the attack/decay? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I found a really bad copy online some time a go but managed to pull what I think is correct from the text. Hopefully it’s readable with the formatting.

    Operating Instructions:

    This totally new accessory for electric guitar or bass permits
    many synthesizer effects to be duplicated in live performance.
    Separately adjustable attack, decay, harmonic content and direct
    signal blend can be set to (yield?) tape reverse effects, slap echo,
    complex envelope modulation, sharp chops or synthesized violin,
    cello, string bass, toy piano, piano, banjo, horns, etc.

    Plug the unit into an AC-outlet and turn it ON. Coinnect your
    instrument to the input jack, amplifier to the output. Unmodified
    signal is available at the DIRECT output and at the effect output
    alterenating with the processed signal when the footswitch is
    thrown. Operation is most reliable when only the rhythm pick-up
    is used and the guitar volume is at or near maximum.

    Set SENSITIVITY about 1/3 of the way up, HARMONICS all the way
    down, BLEND fully clockwise (proceeded signal only), and ATTACK
    and DECAY about 1/3 up. Play a single note and if no effect is
    heard, throw the footswitch. The attack-decay should be heard,
    and the infinite variety of effects possible by varying the
    controls can be explored.

    The best setting for the SENSITIVITY control is where it triggers
    Reliably for notes on the high strings but doesn´t multiple-trigger
    When playing the lowest string. Once found this setting should
    not be changed. This unit works best for single notes and some
    basic two-string chords; complex or discordant chords will cause
    multiple triggering. The EDGE switch adds bite to the effect of the HARMONICS control.
