IMPORTANT: If an effect is not saved once it has been replaced, deleted or added, the preset will revert to 

its original effect model(s) when returning to the preset after leaving it, or when turning the amplifier off 

and back on again. To save a changed, deleted or added effect model, follow the SAVE, SAVE AS or REPLACE 

instructions on pages 6 and 7.

SETTING DELAY TIMES WITH THE TAP BUTTON

There are three ways to set delay times for effects in Mustang LT50’s “DELAY” effects category box. The first 

way is to use the “Editing and Saving Effects Control Settings” instructions found on page 9, using the EN-

CODER to scroll to, select and adjust individual effect settings, including delay time.

The second way is to use Mustang LT50’s TAP utility button (

yellow arrow

). If a preset includes a delay effect, the 

TAP LIGHT (

green arrow

) flashes in time with that effect’s default delay time. This time setting can be modified 

by tapping the TAP utility button two or more times at the desired tempo, regardless of what screen is shown 

in the DISPLAY WINDOW:

The third way to set delay times is to use the four-button footswitch; see page 19 for instructions on how to 

do this.

IMPORTANT: If an edited delay time is not saved, the effect will revert to its original delay time when return-

ing to the preset after leaving it, or when turning the amplifier off and back on again. To save an edited delay 

time, follow the SAVE, SAVE AS or REPLACE instructions on pages 6 and 7.
