The non-treadle version
Back up its settings and its three presets, load them back, shape its Vintage Simulator and keep its firmware current, the same as the treadle version. The preset builder plays it as a model you can try first: its switches, its three presets and its stereo output, which in Chorus puts your dry guitar on one amp and the effect on the other.

Treadle feel is for the treadle version only. Have the treadle version? .

The chew
Shape how the lamps behave, the way an old bulb would: rise and extend, for Chorus and Vibrato. Watch the four stages change as you drag, then hear it on your pedal.
Your pedal’s tuningOpen →Treadle feel
Your foot, your curve
Choose where in the sweep RATE, INT and LEVEL do most of their changing, and how far Vibrato can go. These belong to your pedal, so they never travel with a preset.

Reset · Undo
The pedal’s own factory reset, from your browser: current settings, the Toad preset, the Vintage Simulator tuning and treadle feelcurrent settings, the Vintage Simulator tuning and all three presets back to how it shipped. A safety copy first, Undo after, calibration untouched.
On the Back up pageOpen →What you need
- Chrome or Edge on a computer. The tools talk to the pedal through your browser. Safari, Firefox and phones can’t do that yet.
- The TEN Effects USB programming adapter. Plug it into your computer and into the pedal’s programming header. Not sure it’s working? Test your adapter.
- Your amp turned down. The pedal goes quiet for a moment each time it’s read or written, then restarts.
Your calibration stays put
Every Bridge of Vibes is calibrated by hand on the bench. None of these tools change that calibration, so nothing you do here can undo it. The sound preview reads it and keeps it with your pedal’s serial number, so it can sound like your own pedal.
