TimeFactor User Guide Mix Control

Note: TimeFactor has been carefully designed to not mess with your tone in any of the Bypass

settings.

Note: When connecting TimeFactor to a computer, we suggest that you use a dedicated

audio interface (e.g. a Firewire Interface) and to select the type of Bypass that works best for

your application.

Note: When TimeFactor is turned Off, the relays automatically Bypass the unit. This means

that if power should accidentally go down while you’re playing, your guitar signal will not

disappear because of TimeFactor. Of course, if power is down, you may have bigger

problems.

Mix Control

The Mix control sets the relative levels of the input signal (Dry) and the Effect (Wet).

Mono/Stereo

TimeFactor detects which input and output jacks have cables plugged in and the action of the

Mix Control behaves appropriately. With a Mono Input (Input 1) and Stereo Outputs, the dry

contribution for both outputs comes from the Mono Input (Input 1). With Stereo Inputs, the

dry contribution at Output 1 is from Input 1 and the dry contribution at Output 2 is from

Input 2, thereby maintaining the original signal stereo image.

Killdry – Send/Return Loop

If you’ve connected your TimeFactor using an effect send/return loop (either your amp’s or a

mixer’s), TimeFactor’s Killdry feature can be enabled. With Killdry enabled, the Mix Control

works as a Master Effects Level Control.

When Killdry is enabled, the Mix Control does not send any dry signal to the outputs; only the

Effect. The Mix Control simply adjusts the Effect level. Note that when Killdry is enabled,

Bypassing will mute the Effect rather than Bypass it.

Killdry’s factory default is disabled. It can be enabled in the [BYPASS] menu of the System

Mode. Here’s how:

1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few seconds

to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.

2) Turn the Encoder until [BYPASS] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the Encoder.

4) Turn the Encoder until [KILLDRY] is displayed.

5) Momentarily press the Encoder.

6) Turn the Encoder to select either [YES] or [NO].

7) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few seconds

to exit System Mode.
