Megatap Delay [MGT]
5.17
The
Megatap Delay
is a 2.5 second, 40-tap delay line with parametric control of time, amplitude, and panning. This
effect can be used to create interesting sonic patterns or to increase “density” before reverberant effects.
Each Axe-Fx II preset can use one
Megatap
block.

Parameters
INPUT GAIN
– Sets the input level to the effect. The primary purpose of this is to allow you to attach a
controller (e.g. pedal) to the delay level input level for operation similar to that of an “Aux Send.” In other
situations, this control should be set at 100%.
MASTER LEVEL
– Controls the overall level of the delay.
TIME
– Sets the delay time of the last tap. The echoes will be distributed between zero and this time.
NUMBER OF TAPS
– Sets the number of taps (repeats) on the delay line.
TIME SHAPE
– Specifies how the time between taps changes as they progress.
CONSTANT
–
The time between taps will not change, regardless of the TIME ALPHA setting.
INCREASING
–
The time between taps will increase.
DECREASING
–
The time between taps will decrease.
UP / DOWN
–
The time between taps will increase and then decrease.
DOWN / UP
–
The time between taps will decrease and then increase.
SINE
–
The time between taps will decrease and then increase repeatedly in a sinusoidal
progression. Higher alpha increases the number of sine cycles.
