Setting INPUT GAIN and EFFECT LEVEL regulators
INPUT GAIN and the EFFECT LEVEL regulators enable to match the SD-1 to
signal level. Setting is done by means of small, flat screw and should be carried out for
the maximal signal level (it is usually CLEAN tone) with activated delay effect (ACTIV
indicator lit). The INPUT GAIN should be set to maximal value on which doesn’t blink
the PEAK indicator. Maximal volume of the effect signal is set by the EFFECT LEVEL
regulator. It is recommended to set its dBu value similar to the INPUT GAIN regulator
dBu value. Additionally EFFECT LEVEL regulator enables to adjust LEVEL knob
functionality range to particular needs.

Delay time
The time of delay is a basic parameter of the delay type effect. In the SD-1 the
delay can be set by using the TIME knob and the RANGE switch (for more precise
adjustment). Delay time is signalized by blinking TIME indicator.
The delay time can be also set by the TAP TEMPO footswitch. The TAP TEMPO
enables to adjust the time of repeats to the tempo of currently played song. The MODE
switch enables to enter the tempo of repeats in ratio 1/1 or 2/3 (1/3 and 1/2) to the time
intervals between successive footswitch pressings. It is possible to change the time
ratio on lower position of MODE switch for 1/3, 1/2 or 2/3.
