Delay
The Profiling Amplifier provides three types of delays, each of which can be found in the DELAY module
on the right hand side of the panel:
Tap Delay The delay time is linked to the tempo as selected in RIG settings, or by the TAP tempo
button.
Free Delay Delay time is freely adjustable in milliseconds, and is independent from the TAP tempo.
The delay time can be changed transparently, with no audible artifacts, which is also
true for the tap delay.
Analog Delay Delay time is adjustable in milliseconds, like in the free delay. However, adjusting the
delay time will create those crazy pitch shifts or Doppler eects, known from the good
ol’ bucket brigade delays.
Beside these dierences, all three delay types work in the same way, and oer easy ways to create mono
or stereo (ping pong) delays. Only the left delay tap will feed its signal back to both delay taps; this simpli-
fication will help you to create great rhythmic delay patterns without increasing the density of the sound.
We use a specially designed bandpass filter to control the loss of high and low frequencies with every de-
lay tap, from the softest natural decay up to an artificial tone shaping.
At high “Feedback” settings you get a tape delay sound, complete with infinite oscillation and tape-satura-
tion eect. For the tape delay saturation we use the softest saturation algorithm possible. The modulation
will even give a mono delay a full stereo width, creating an airy eect on stereo delays, and adding wow
and flutter to a typical tape delay sound. All this will happen separately, or simultaneously, when you use
the following parameters:
