Tails Switch
The DL-8 features a switch that allows the delay repeats to continue being heard
after the effect is bypassed. When the Tails Switch is set ON, the DL-8 does not
utilize true hardwire bypass. If you always want to use true hardwire bypass, set
the Tails Switch to OFF. When the Tails Switch is OFF, delay repeats are cut off
immediately when the effect is bypassed.
The Tails Switch is located under the pedal Foot Switch and is accessed by
pressing in one of the Foot Switch Release Pins using the tip of a 1/4" guitar
cable plug. Once the Foot Switch is removed, the switch is visible inside the
chassis next to the button that turns the effect on and off. Slide the switch to the
left to turn Tails ON and to the right to turn Tails OFF.
