Delay (Green) 189
 Stereo
This is like the bipolar Stereo parameter included in many effects of the PROFILER. In the delays, this parameter
controls the stereo spread of all delay taps.
However, it introduces a novel "super-stereo" effect that lets the delay reflections appear well outside the regular
stereo image. This effect works best if you are well positioned in the correct stereo triangle of your speakers. To get
the most prominent effect, set the delay taps to different delay times. The super-stereo effect does not work with
headphones.
• At 100% the delay taps are fully panned to left and right.
• At 0% all delay taps are panned to the middle position, resulting in a mono signal.
• At -100% the delays are fully panned, but the sides get reversed.
• When you move the “Stereo” soft knob beyond the +/-100% setting, the super-stereo effect comes into place,
reaching its maximum impact at +/-200%.
As with all other effects, the Stereo parameter is not available, when the effect is placed in in front of the stack,
because the modules A, B, C, and D are strictly mono.
 Grit
The Grit parameter adds a typical tape distortion to the delay signal. At lower values, the tape bias is reduced,
creating a brittle sound. At higher values, the signal becomes noticeably compressed by the limited headroom of the
tape. In the upper quarter of the Grit control, the input level is boosted to push the distortion even more. You can
further control and tame the sound of the distortion by using the High Cut and Low Cut parameters. Use the "Cut
More" switch to cut the edges of the sound further.
As with every distortion, the amount of Grit in the delay is dependent of the input level. Therefore, Grit is sensitive to
the "Mix Location" parameter. When Mix Location is set to "Pre", the distortion is lowered by lowering the Delay Mix
control. For this reason, you might prefer setting it to "Post", as this will not change the amount of Grit when
changing the delay mix.
