EFX Section

REVERB

Dedicated Reverb function emulates the rich ambiance of open spaces.
This single, continuously-variable control provides a smooth, full sweep
to easily dial in the amount of reverb desired. Choose from small room
or large hall via the SM/LG function switch:
Out position = SM. In position = LG.
DLA/CH FUNCTION SWITCH: Choose between delay and
chorus. The delay is voiced for the sounds of a vintage tape echo.The
chorus is tailored for acoustic guitar using a pitch shift effect, which elim-
inates the need for speed and depth controls.
Out position = DLA. In position = CH.
TIME: In DLA mode,Time controls the amount of delay. This pro-
vides a smooth, full sweep, ranging from 1 millisecond up to 750 mil-
liseconds. At 12 o'clock,Time is approximately 200 milliseconds.You
can easily dial in the exact amount of delay desired with one turn of
the knob.Turning the Time control while playing will transpose the
pitch of your guitar note, just like a vintage analog delay.
NOTE: In CH mode,Time is inactive.
REPEATS: In DLA mode, this feeds back the delayed signal to the
input of the delay circuit to generate the number of repeats. At mini-
mum (7 o'clock), you will hear one repeat. As you increase the setting,
the repeats will follow accordingly until they are almost infinite.
NOTE: In CH mode, Repeats is inactive.
CHORUS: In CH mode, a detuned voice creates the effect of 2 or
more instruments in unison.
E. LEVEL: Adjusts the output level of the EFX section only. Also
provides a clip warning (see page 2).
TAP TEMPO: Dedicated footswitch makes it simple to just tap in
the delay tempo you want during your performance.Tap Tempo will
override the Time setting (and conversely, turning the Time knob will
override the Tap Tempo).The Tap Tempo works in Bypass so you can
set it ahead of time. A special feature of the Tech 21 Tap Tempo is that
it will not change the pitch of your guitar tone when you change the
pace from faster to slower or slower to faster.This provides a seam-
less transition for on-the-fly adjustments if your drummer drifts.

OTHER GOODIES
CHROMATIC TUNER: The TAP/TUNER footswitch engages the
chromatic tuner. Simply hold the footswitch down to engage the tuner,
which will simultaneously mute the signal path.The LED in the tuner
window will then light up. If the green light is on, you're in tune. If you're
not, the red arrows serve as indicators:
Arrow points up = Flat. Raise the pitch.
Arrow points down = Sharp. Lower the pitch.
As you get closer to being in tune, the arrow will
blink faster and turn off when you are in tune.The
green light then comes on and you're good to go.
HEADPHONE: Switches the 1/4-inch output into headphone mode
to drive both sides and provide higher powered output.
NOTE: Be sure to disengage when going
direct to a mixing board or amplifier, as
it will easily clip the signal.
