The
APE
can be configured in several different ways. The above configuration “A” is the
series setup. This allows you to use the APE in front of your delay. This will introduce the
famous EP sound as well but will not color the delayed notes like in Loop configuration. All
of your delay controls will work as they normally do, however, the APE will function
differently. In this configuration the APE acts as a preamp with no controls it just simply
adds the influence of the EP sound which is wider and warmer. It introduces a fat sound
across the spectrum. Since it runs at 22.5v just like a real EP everything in between the
notes is cleaner and clearer. To introduce any controllable effect you must engage the
loop switch. Once the loop switch is engaged the “REC” knob becomes a treble boost
and gain. The “Mix” knob also controls output.
NOTE
: Be careful to not crank the repeats control on the APE when in series or it can squeal
loudly.
NOTE:
When using the APE with delays that do not have a mix control or go 100% wet we
recommend that you use it in the “A” configuration. The APE in the “B” configuration works
best with “flat frequency” digital delays. PT Chip delays and Analog delays seem to work
best in the “A” configuration. We encourage you try all configurations with any delay since
we cannot try them all. You may discover a great setup. The APE was intended to add the
EP sound to those digital delays lacking the warmth and fatness of the analog influence of
an old EP, especially those that claim to be a recreation of an EP.
OTHER SETUPS
: You can run your guitar into the “guitar input” and come out of the
standard output but you can also come out of the send or return. When you use the
“Return” as the output you get a fully bypass-able treble boost/gain controlled by the
“REC” knob. When you use “Send” as the output you get a non bypass-able clean boost
controlled by the “REC” knob.
The APE works really with BASS guitar!!
