flicker / strobe generator effects
The GAM SPE-6 Flickermaster creates a wide range of realistic flicker and strobe effects and also functions as a portable dimmer. From random flickerings of candlelight or a T.V. screen to the bright strobing of an emergency light, the SPE-6 makes it easy: connect the 'power in' cable to an outlet and the 'power out' to your lights. Set the function knob, adjust the speed (this sets the rate of flicker or strobe), adjust the level (determines whether the light goes out completely or retains some brightness) and adjust the dim knob for overall level. To use as a dimmer, set function knob to 'dim' and use the dim knob to adjust light levels or control speed of equipment such as the GAM TwinSpin or Spin/FX. Available in 120 or 220V, the SPE-6 is a single circuit unit with a maximum load of 2000 watts, and should be used only with incandescent lights.
