(only when 

using exp. 

pedal)

 

When an exp. pedal is used to 
activate Cancel Mode, this 
mode is activated by putting 
the exp. pedal in the heel down 
position (by default) but it is 
not activated momentarily. 
Cancel Mode has a slight delay 
between putting the pedal in 
heel down position and 
activating the Cancel Mode. It 
is developed this way so the 
user can’t accidentally go to 
Cancel Mode while using the 
expression pedal. When the 
exp. pedal goes to heel down 
position, the system LED will 
first light ORANGE, and after 
this brief delay it will go to RED 
where the pedal is then in 
Cancel  Mode. 

Rotate the speed pot for 
desired delay. At MIN 
position Cancel delay is 0, 
linear increasing to 1 
second at MAX position.

mode. 
 
In this setup menu, the T10

Is it possible to turn the 
internal photocell’s 
incandescent light bulb off 
when the pedal is off (in 
bypass) in order to prolong the 
lamp’s life. 
The side effect is that the lamp 
needs to reach it’s dynamic 
working state, so for a short 
while (orange LED lights) after 
turning the pedal on the Vibe 
Machine will behave as if it is 
coming out of Cancel Mode 
because the driver, the lamp 
and the photocells have to 
start working before the proper 
vibe effect can occur, Also 
check chapter 10.
