TAP TEMPO
The Obscura’s Footswitch can be used as a Tap Tempo switch for setting the delay time during a live
performance.
To use Tap Tempo:
1. Press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for 3 seconds. The Indicator LED will begin flashing to indicate
Tap Tempo mode is now active and the LED will flash at the current delay time rate.
2. Tap the FOOTSWITCH at least two times to set a new delay time. The last two pedal tap intervals
set the delay time.
3. While Tap Tempo is active, the TIME knob can
be used to set the multiplier value of eighth
note, dotted eighth note (quarter note triplet),
and quarter note (1:1 tap ratio). A flashing green
LED indicates eighth note multiplier is selected,
a flashing yellow LED indicates dotted eighth
multiplier is selected, and a flashing red LED
indicates the quarter note multiplier is selected.

4. To exit Tap Tempo, press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for 3 seconds until the Indicator LED stops
flashing and lights solid RED again. Once Tap Tempo mode is exited, the tapped delay time
remains active until either the delay type is changed or the TIME knob is adjusted.
