GAIN controls the analog input preamp gain. The preamp is always on
even when the ON switch is toggled off in order to maintain a constant
signal level. The setting can affect the echo saturation somewhat, but for
the most part this control has little influence on the effects.
The 1:1 gain position is with the knob around 10:00 to 11:00, or roughly
pointing just before the
G in GAIN . Above this point the signal will be
amplified up to a maximum of +11dB. The gain should be lowered if other
pedals in the chain don't function properly with a boosted signal, or if the
red “peak” light on the level meter is being reached.
ON toggles the effects on and off. While off, any active preset or tap
tempo setting will be maintained, but no delay or reverb effects are added
to the output.
PRESET cycles between the presets. Presets can be activated with the
effect turned off to avoid hearing audible changes during selection.
For further preset information and programming instructions, please refer
to the dedicated “Presets” page of this manual.
TAP is a tap tempo switch for setting the delay with foot taps. A single tap
will activate it and lock the tempo to the current delay slider setting, which
is useful to lock the delay prior to activating presets that would otherwise
change it. Multiple taps will activate it and set the delay time to the
interval between taps. Taps should be done at quarter-note intervals.
A single tap while active will deactivate the tap tempo.
Pressing and holding the TAP switch will temporarily ramp the REPEATS
control up past the runaway feedback level until it is released.
The SUBDIVISION toggle switch is a 3-position switch that is part of the
TAP Tempo. It controls how the delay time is set relative to the tap
frequency of the TAP foot switch.
Quarter Note : The delay time is set the same as the tap rate, causing
echoes to come back at quarter-note intervals.
Dotted Eighth Note (or 3 sixteenth notes) : The delay time is set to
¾ of the tap rate. This produces echoes that are one sixteenth note faster
than the tap rate. When the instrument is played at eighth notes (or two
notes per the tap rate), echoes will come back in-between notes played.
Eighth Note : The delay time is set to ½ of the tap rate. Echoes will
repeat at a rate twice as fast as the taps.
The TRAILS toggle sets whether or not trailing effects are heard.
When enabled, the trailing effects will naturally fade out after switching the
unit off, but no new effects will be generated from input.
When disabled, effects will stop immediately after switching the unit off.
NOTE: Trailing effects will never be heard if the off-state output mode is
set to Bypass Mode (See Advanced Configuration section on page 10).
