High Speed: This sets the speed at which the speaker
sounds like it is rotating when the high rate of speed is
selected. It ranges from 0.08 Hz to 10.00 Hz in 0.01 Hz
steps.
Acceleration: This adjust how fast the speaker rota-
tion changes from low to high (or high to low), due to
the momentum of the speaker. It ranges from 0 to 100 in
steps of 1, where 0 is very slow and 100 is instantaneous.
Rate: If you don't have the PB1 footpedal attached,
use this to select the low speed or the high speed setting.
ModDelay
This unique effect modulates a delayed signal and
then mixes it back with the dry input signal. The de-
layed signal has the following adjustable parameters:
Depth: The depth control adjusts how much the de-
layed signal changes over time by the Rate control (see
next). This control has a range from 0 ms to 10 ms in 0.1
ms steps.
Rate: This control adjusts the rate at which the de-
layed signal varies, ranging from 0.08 Hz to 8 Hz in 0.01
Hz steps.
Feedback: This controls how much of the delayed
signal is fed back to the input of the ModDelay effect.
This changes the sound of the effect by adding more
comb filtering to the signal. It ranges from 0% to 100% in
1% steps.
Delay Time: This adjusts the length of the delayed
signal. It ranges from 60 ms to 1600 ms in 1 ms steps.

17. DELAY

This control adjusts the amount of the currently
selected delay effect that is mixed into the signal. Press
the TYPE button above the Delay control to view the
currently selected delay effect in the display. Rotate the
Select/Adjust knob [22] next to the display to change
the delay effect.

Mono
Mono delay is a simple single delay, but has a Feed-
back control that can create multiple delays.
Time: This determines how long the delayed signal
is delayed from the original signal. It ranges from 60 to
1600 ms (1.6 seconds) in 1 ms steps.
You can use the TEMPO button [18] to set the delay
time by tapping the button in time with the tempo of the
music. The delay time is set to the time between the last
two taps of the button. The LED above the button blinks
at the speed of the time setting. This applies to the time
parameter for any of the delay types.
Feedback: This controls how much of the delayed
signal is routed back to the input of the delay section,
to create multiple echos. The feedback gain is less than
one, so each time the signal is fed back, the delayed sig-
nal becomes quieter (so the echo won't go on forever).
It ranges from 0 to 100%.
Damping: This applies a low-pass filter to the delayed
signal and rolls off the higher frequencies above the
selected frequency. It ranges from 500 Hz to 20 kHz.
TapeEcho
This is similar to the Mono delay, but applies a low-
pass filter to each successive repeat so that each repeat
has a darker sound. This simulates the sound of the tape
echo machines that were popular prior to the arrival of
affordable digital delay.
MultiTap
This allows you to create two delays with different
lengths. Add the Feedback control, and you can create
some very interesting effects on a guitar solo.
Tap 1 Time: This determines the length of delay time
for the first delayed signal. It ranges from 60 to 1600 ms
in 1 ms steps.
