Part Names and Functions
MODE List
* You can choose how the sound is output from the OUTPUT jacks in “Setting the Output
Mode” (p. 30); select either “STEREO OUTPUT” or “A: Direct Sound, B: Effect Sound.”
SOS
(Sound On Sound)
In this mode, you can record up to 23 seconds of material and repeat-
edly play back the phrases from the material. What's more, you can
record new phrases and add them to the previous material (overdub)
as many times as you like.

TWIST
This is a new type of delay that produces an aggressive, spinning sen-
sation. Using this with distortion creates an even wilder twist.

WARP
This simultaneously controls the delay sound's feedback level and vol-
ume to produce a totally unreal delay.

TAPE
This tone is modeled on the Roland “RE-201” Tape Echo. You can ad-
just the settings to change the number of “heads.”

ANALOG This tone is modeled on the BOSS “DM-2” Compact Delay.

“How to Use DUAL” (p. 24)
PAN
This is a panning delay, with the delay sound output alternately from
the left and right sides (OUTPUT A/B).
SMOOTH
This delay spreads out spatially, producing a more natural reverbera-
tion effect.
MODULATE
This delay adds a pleasant wavering effect to the sound.

“How to Use MODULATE” (p. 25)
REVERSE
This creates a reverse playback effect. You can adjust the E.LEVEL
knob setting to get two different kinds of effect, “Direct Sound + Effect
Sound” and “Effect Sound Only.”
Turning the E.LEVEL knob completely to the right switches this to “Ef-
fect Sound Only.”
* The delay time can be set in a range from 10 milliseconds to 23 seconds.
