5. Degrade Knob
This knob controls the amount of degradation and its effect on the sound varies depending on
which delay type is selected. Here’s a description of the DEGRADE control for each delay type:
• ANALOG - Increases aliasing and grit.
TAPE - Increases wow and flutter.
LO-FI - Increases “input channel overdrive”.
• REVERSE - Increases “tape saturation”.
6. Input 1 (Mono)
Use this jack when only a single connection is needed. Connect your instrument, the output of a
pedal, or an amp effects send to this jack. Signals are heard at both outputs when only this jack is
used.
7. Indicator LED
This multi-color LED lights red to indicate when the effect is turned on. When using Tap Tempo, the
LED will flash at the rate of the delay time and will flash yellow, red, or green, depending on the
position of the TIME knob. See ‘Tap Tempo’ on page 8 for more information on using the Tap
Tempo feature.
8. Input 2
Connect a second input to this jack for stereo operation. Inputs 1 and 2 are processed separately
through the stereo delay effect then fed to Outputs 1 and 2, keeping true stereo separation
between channels.
9. Footswitch
Turns the effect on and off. The Footswitch is also used for tapping in the delay time when using
the Tap Tempo feature, see ‘Tap Tempo’ on page 8 for further information on using this feature.
10. Output 2
Connect this output to the input of a second guitar amplifier when a second amp is being used.
When only the Input 1 (Mono) jack is connected, guitar and delay signal can be heard in both
Outputs 1 and 2 when they are used.
11. Output 1 (Mono)
Connect this output to the input of a single guitar amplifier or amp effects return.
12. Repeats Knob
Controls the number of delay repeats. Turn this knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise
to decrease the number of repeats. Turn this knob to the 3 ‘o clock or higher position (indicated by
the screened line next to the knob) to engage Repeat Hold, see ‘Using Repeat Hold’ on page 9
for more information.
13. Time Knob
Controls the amount of delay time. When Tap Tempo is active, you can use the TIME knob to set the
tap multiplier. See ‘Tap Tempo’ on page 8 for information on using this feature.
14. Level Knob
Controls the delay level. Turn this knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease
the delay level. Note that when the REVERSE delay type is selected, no dry signal is added, so when
the LEVEL knob is at the minimum position, no signal will be heard.
