FEEDBACK 

Feedback controls the amount of output signal that is fed back to the input. This 
controls the number of repeats of the delay. The more feedback, the greater the 
number of repeats will be heard. Turning the knob fully clockwise will cause self-
oscillation.  

 

MOD DEPTH 

The MOD DEPTH controls the amount of modulation introduced. Modulation varies the 
delay time slightly and can create effects from subtle chorus, to vibrato, to warped out 
weirdness. When the knob is turned fully counter-clockwise there is no modulation. 
 

MOD RATE 

Pressing the MOD DEPTH switch will toggle between two modulation rates, slow and 
fast. The exact modulation frequency is a variable of both the MOD RATE setting and 
the DELAY TIME. 
 

MIX 

The MIX knob controls the blend between the direct and delayed signals. At its 
minimum value, the output is 100% direct (dry). When fully clockwise, the output is 
100% delayed (wet). This can be used when using an external mixer, or for stereo 
wet/dry amp setups.  

 

WORKING WITH PRESETS 

 

The Time After Time has up to 11 available user presets. In its default mode, the ‘A’ 
footswitch is used to scroll through the available presets, while the ‘B’ footswitch is 
used to enable or bypass the effect. For alternative options, see OPERATING MODES 
on page 6. 

 

Loading a Preset 

When the Time After Time gets enabled, a preset is loaded from memory. The control 
settings are taken from the saved preset and not from the physical position of the 
control knobs. Therefore, the position of the knobs may not be aligned with the settings 
of the loaded preset. For example, the loaded preset may have FEEDBACK set at  

It may seem illogical to be able to tap in a tempo while bypassed only to have TAP 
MODE turned OFF when the pedal gets enabled. But, that is exactly what will 
happen if the preset you are enabling does not rely on tempo (such as a short 
delay) and has not been saved as a TAP MODE preset. Therefore, if you are using 
TAP MODE, then you should save at least one preset as a TAP MODE preset 

(see 

the TAP MODE section on page 8 for details).
