CONTROL 1: Delay Feedback – Controls the amount of delay signal that is fed back into the delay
effect, thereby increasing the number of repeats. At the full counter-clockwise position the
effect will generate a single delay repeat - as the knob is turned clockwise the repeats increase.
CONTROL 2: Delay/Reverb Crossfade – Adjusts the mix ratio between the delay and reverb
signals. Set this knob to the full counter-clockwise position to hear only the delay effect. Turn
the knob clockwise to gradually increase the reverb signal and decrease the delay signal in the
wet mix. It is important to note that even when the CONTROL 2 is turned fully clockwise and
only the reverb is audible, the reverb is still responding to the inaudible delay signal, which
comes before it in the signal chain.
OPTION FOOTSWITCH (TAPPING): Delay Time – Functions similar to a traditional tap tempo
switch on a delay pedal - tapping the OPTION footswitch in time with the band will sync the
repeats to the beat of the music. Note: you must tap the switch a minimum of two times before
the pedal changes the Delay Time.
OPTION FOOTSWITCH (PRESS & HOLD): Delay Hold – Creates a constant loop of the delay signal.
While holding down the OPTION Footswitch the delay signal will continuously circulate without
any changes in volume or tone.
SWELL (9)
Creates smooth, amorphous volume swells. This engine applies a volume swell effect to your
instrument’s dry signal, which is then fed into the reverb effect for super-long and ambient clouds of
sound. This effect is great for creating soft, atmospheric chord pads. The Swell engine also sounds
fantastic when it is placed first in a dual reverb preset set to Series Mode (A+B on the A/B Reverb
Toggle Switch).
CONTROL 1: Envelope Gain – Controls the sensitivity of the envelope follower. Turn this knob
down if you have low impedance pickups or you want to dig in with some hard picking, turn it up
for high impedance pickups or soft picking.
CONTROL 2: Swell Time – Adjust the speed of the volume swell. Turn the control counter-
clockwise for quicker swells and clockwise for a longer, smooth effect.
