1. Tails Switch
When this switch is set to the ON position, delay tails will decay naturally when the effect is
switched to bypass. When set to the OFF position, delay decays will end abruptly when the effect is
switched to bypass. When the Tails Switch is set to ON, the Obscura does not utilize true hardwire
bypass. If you always want to use true hardwire bypass, set the Tails Switch to the OFF position.
2. DC Power Jack
Connect the specified Harman power supply (sold separately) to this jack. Be sure to use the proper
power supply for your area’s mains line voltage. See ‘Specifications’ on page 14 for power supply
model information. The Obscura can only be powered using the external power supply.
3. Delay Type Selector Knob
Selects from the following delay algorithm types:
• ANALOG - Classic sound of a vintage bucket brigade analog delay circuit.
• TAPE - Emulates a classic tube tape echo.
• LO-FI - A low-fidelity delay that has limited bandwidth and reduced bit-depth to approximate
the effects of low sample rate and 8-bit signal processing used in vintage digital delays.
• REVERSE - A delay where the repeats are played backwards. No dry signal is present when
REVERSE is selected.
4. Tone Knob
Adjusts the frequency response of the delay effect, making it brighter or darker in tone.
