Toggle Switch (Mode Selector)
Both-
This is the “standard” delay and reverb mode
Reverse-
This is reverse delay mode with “standard” reverb
Swell-
This is the volume swell mode
Effect Mode Features
Normal
• Both delay and reverb in standard forward mode
• Reverb is fully stereo and follows delay in the signal path
• All controls work as displayed
• When using tap tempo to set the delay time, the repeats are cleared once new time is tapped in.
• Hold Tap switch down to send delay into infinite repeats. On shorter Time settings, they will quickly go into
oscillation and on longer Time settings, they will slowly build.
Reverse
• Reverse delay, normal reverb.
• Ratio is always in 1/1 position no matter where the ratio switch is set
Pro Tip:
The other ratios will still work for standard delay. If you set the ratio for anything other than 1/1 when
you are in Reverse mode, you will get really cool rhythmic patterns when using the Tap switch or expression
pedal to switch between reverse and “normal” modes.
• Hold down the Tap switch to temporarily send the delay back to forward mode and release the Tap switch
to go back to Reverse.
Pro Tip:
Use the expression pedal in the “Toggle” position to go back and forth from reverse to standard.
This allows you to still use the Tap switch to send the delay into self-oscillation.
Swell
• Adds an auto swell to the entire signal path, much like slowly turning up the volume control on your guitar.
• Reverb Mix controls the length of the swell. Swell length becomes longer as you turn the control clockwise.
• Swells are triggered by the input, regardless of input strength. To get the most from this effect, adjust your
playing to a more staccato style and mute the strings after every note or chord.
• This mode sums both left and right inputs on both the wet and dry paths to mono.
• Hold Tap switch down to send delay into infinite repeats. On shorter Time settings, they will quickly go into
oscillation and on longer Time settings, they will slowly build.
Tails Mode
The Avalanche Run also has a Tails mode. Tails mode allows the wet signal to naturally fade out after the
effect is switched off. It has 5 Tail length settings that are selected by the Ratio switch during power up.
How to engage Tails mode:
• Unplug the power cable
• Set the Ratio switch to the desired Tail length:
• 1/4-
True Bypass (See “Return to True Bypass” below)
• 1/3-
Short Tails
• 1/2-
Medium Tails
• 2/3-
Long Tails
• 3/4-
User Defined- Tail length is determined by where the repeat control is set. Tails can go into oscillation
by holding the Tap switch down or stopped by double-clicking the Tap switch.
• 1/1-
“Sound on Sound”- Tail length goes into infinite repeats once the effect is switched off. Tails can be
stopped by double clicking the Tap switch.
• Once you have selected the Tail length, hold down the Activate switch and plug in the power. The Activate LED
will light up Green after 2 seconds then release the Activate switch and you’ll be in your desired Tails mode.
• The signal is in buffered bypass mode when the LED is green.
• The ratio switch will go back to selecting your desired Ratio after this process is complete.
Return to True Bypass mode
• Unplug the power cable
• Set the Ratio switch to 1/4
• Hold Activate switch and plug in the power. The Activate LED will light up Red after 2 seconds and you’ll be
back in True Bypass mode.
