DELAY

This is a model of one of the most respected analogue tape echo machines ever made. 
In the original, the “echo” is produced by a playback head and the exact “delay time” is 
set by varying the motor speed. Many professionals prefer these “lo-fi” units because of 
the warm, dark echoes they produce.

HINT:

 In the DELAY combination effect, the FEEDBACK parameter is already 

set to the optimal value.

WARNING!

 If you crank up the FEEDBACK too much, an uncontrollable, cascading “run-

away” of echoes will occur. So, use your ears and your common sense when setting this!

REVERB

A model of the most popular spring reverb system used in guitar amps.

HINT:

 In combination effects, the TIME and HI DAMP parameters are already set to opti-

mal values.
