  • Page 1 Features and Operation © 2016 Decibel Eleven...
  • Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Decibel Eleven Time After Time is a fully analog delay pedal that combines an all analog signal path with digital control. The delay circuitry uses vintage design, bucket- brigade ICs to provide warm, classic analog delay sound. But, the Time After Time controls all of the delay functions, clocks, and settings digitally, allowing you to save and recall presets, tap in tempo, and change parameters realtime via MIDI.

    MIDI Connect the MIDI IN of the Time After Time to the MIDI OUT of your MIDI controller, or to the MIDI OUT of the last device in the MIDI chain. Additional MIDI devices can be connected from the MIDI THRU of the Time After Time.

    WORKING WITH PRESETS The Time After Time has up to 11 available user presets. In its default mode, the ‘A’ footswitch is used to scroll through the available presets, while the ‘B’ footswitch is used to enable or bypass the effect. For alternative options, see OPERATING MODES on page 6.

    8 for more details). OPERATING MODES The Time After Time has up to 11 available user presets. These presets can be loaded either via MIDI, or by the pedal’s footswitches. There are two available modes for accessing presets with the footswitches. The mode you use will depend highly on your performance requirements.

    BYPASS TYPE The Time After Time has two options for pedal bypass type. True bypass uses a relay to bypass the effect. When the pedal is off, there are no active electronics in the signal path, and all effect is cut off.
  • Page 8: Global Settings

    GLOBAL SETTINGS: Changing the Operating Mode, Preset Limit and Bypass Type The Time After Time is initially set to PRESET MODE. To change the mode settings, disconnect the power from the pedal. Press and hold the ‘A’ footswitch while applying power to the pedal.
  • Page 9 The Time After Time, being an analog delay, is limited to a delay time range of 32ms to 524ms. When using TAP TEMPO, there may be times when the combination of tempo and division would cause the delay time to be outside of the capable delay range.
  • Page 10 DELAY REPEATS - INTERNAL TONE ADJUSTMENT The Time After Time is designed for optimum audio clarity and brightness of the delayed sound. But, for those users who prefer a darker delayed sound with less high frequencies, there is an internal trim pot which can be adjusted for setting the tone of the delayed sound.
  • Page 11 The Time After Time should respond by loading a preset or bypassing. If the Time After Time is not on the preset you would like, simply use the controls on the Time After Time to select the desired preset (or bypass it) just as you normally would. However, when making the selection, continue to hold the footswitch until the LEDs flash, indicating the MIDI change has been mapped.

    MIDI Clock If the Time After Time is in TAP MODE, it will sync to incoming MIDI Clock messages. It will only sync to MIDI Clock tempo messages. The Time After Time will not respond to MIDI Start, Continue, Stop or MIDI Time Code commands.
