1/12 is the equivalent of an eighth note triplet.
1/6 is a quarter note triplet (a common reggae/dub delay
rhythm).
1/3 is a half-note triplet.
Feedback
Controls the amount of delay
repetitions. The higher this
setting is, the higher the
amount of delay is returned to
the input of the delay line.
Feedback goes from no repetitions (just a single de-
lay) to a full feedback with never ending repetitions.
Tone Settings - Bass
and Treble
Controls equalization of the
input of the effect. This affects
both dry and wet signal paths
and thus also the amount of
distortion.
Delay Time and
Tempo Sync
Controls the length of the de-
lay in milliseconds or syncs to
host tempo. The total length of
delay after the original signal
in Tube Delay is one second.
In millisecond mode (Tempo
Sync off ), Delay Time will
adjust the time from 1 to 1000
ms. The first half of the control
goes from 1 to 100 ms, the
second half goes from 101 to
1000 ms. This gives tweaking
in the 1 to 100 ms range a
greater resolution.
Common Delay Time settings are around 40 ms for a
doubling effect and roughly 100 to 250 ms for a slap back
echo.
When the Tempo Sync switch is ON (the “up” posi-
tion), Delay Time is synced to the tempo setting of
the host application. The Delay Time knob sets the
length of the delay in these fractions of a measure:
1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2.The maximum
delay time is still one second though. To get to these
values directly, simply click the numbers around the
knob. It’s also possible to get values in between the
fractions by adjusting the knob.
Some hosts don’t support reporting Tempo information to
the plug in, in these cases a warning will be displayed.
Tempo Sync
Here are some examples of the
resulting delay time for a given
host tempo when the Tempo
Sync switch is set to ON (up-
wards position).
