CHAPTER 2 ‐ Operation From this point onward : [Engage] will refer to the Engage footswitch, [Tap‐Tempo] will refer to the Tap‐Tempo switch, and [Mode/Edit] will refer to the Mode/Edit push button Preset System The 8 preset locations are organized in 2 banks, where each bank contains 4 patches. BANK 1 BANK 2 Patch 1 Patch 2 Patch 3 Patch 4 Patch 1 Patch 2 Patch 3 Patch 4 LOAD PRESET 1. Hold [Tap Tempo] until the Tempo indicator LED (Bank LED) stops flashing. 2. Tap [Tap Tempo] as many times as needed to reach the desired preset location. 3. Tap [Engage] once to load the selected preset. Presets are selected by going through each location in the ‘Up’ direction (1, 2, 3, …), while going through these steps the sound does not get updated until selection is confirmed by pressing [Engage]. ...

SAVE PRESET 1. Hold [Tap Tempo] until the Tempo indicator LED (Bank LED) stops flashing. 2. Tap [Tap Tempo] as many times as needed to reach the desired preset location. 3. Hold [Engage] until the Preset LED flashes 3x. Note : You can skip step 1 & 2 if you are already at the desired preset location. SAVE A PRESET IN A DIFFERENT BANK 1. Hold [Tap Tempo] until the Tempo indicator LED (Bank LED) stops flashing. 2. Tap [Engage] and [Tap Tempo] together once <— this toggles the bank. 3. Tap [Tap Tempo] as many times as needed to reach the desired preset location. 4. Hold [Engage] until the Preset LED flashes 3x. BYPASS OR ENGAGE 1. Tap [Engage] once. MODES 1. Tap [Modes / Edit] to browse through the 7 modes / algorithms. SUBDIVISION You may set the subdivision using the TIMEknob. 8th‐note Dotted‐8th 8th‐note Triplets Quarter‐note T I M E ...

CHAPTER 3 ‐ Kill Dry Function Kill‐Dry function is activated by turning the BLEND knob all the way to maximum value (clockwise direction). Kill‐Dry area Max Note : This is not a permanent kill‐dry function, it is active only when the pedal is engaged ‐ the dry signal will be back on when you bypass the pedal CHAPTER 4 ‐ Assigning Parameters for Expression Control You can assign up to 4 parameters to be controlled by the expression pedal, and these assignments can be specified on per‐preset basis. You can make changes to the assignment in the EDIT mode. Entering EDIT mode : Press and hold [Mode / Edit]. When the Modes LED starts blinking the pedal has entered EDIT mode where you can make changes to the parameter assignment. In EDIT mode the four knobs act like switches, turning the knobs to anywhere above the 12 o’clock direc‐ tion assigns that knob for expression control, and turning the knobs to anywhere below the 12 o’clock direction disables expression control on that knob. ...

ON OFF OFF ON BLEND TIME REPEATS PARAM Changes will immediately take effect when the knobs are turned so you can go ahead and audition the parameters assignment that suits your needs. After you are satisfied with the assignment you can save it into the current preset by holding [ENGAGE] until the preset LED flashes 3x. Or if you decide not to save any changes you can simply exit the EDIT mode, no changes will be saved. Exiting EDIT mode : Press and hold [Mode / Edit]. When the Modes LED stops blinking the pedal has exited EDIT mode and you can use the pedal normally again. IMPORTANT : At power up the pedal will detect the presence (or absence) of an expression pedal at the EXP/TAP input jack. If it sensed that nothing is connected it will disable the expression function for as long as the power stays on. This means you must recycle the power anytime you plug or unplug an expression pedal cable into the EXP/TAP input jack. CHAPTER 5 ‐ Modes / Algorithms Digital This is a pristine digital delay with modulation. A touch of tone‐shaping is applied to keep the repeats from being ‘sterile cold’, while retaining clarity and definition. Delay time range : 960 ms. ...

Analog This mode has a special voicing that mimics that of an analog delay. The warm and lush repeats work great to thicken your guitar sound without getting in the way of the dry sound. Delay time range : 960 ms. PARAM knob controls both modulation Depth and Rate. The 1st half of the knob travel gives slow modu‐ lation rate, and the last half gives a faster rate. The modulation Depth is fully adjustable within each region ...

Ambient This algorithm mode blurs the line between delay and reverb. Repeats get more diffuse with each itera‐ tion, and as REGEN knob is turned up the echoes wash out into reverb‐like ambience. PARAM knob controls the type and level of a secondary pitch‐shifted voice. The first half of the knob range constitutes Perfect‐fifth pitch interval and the second half constitutes Octave interval. The voice level is adjustable within each region (loudness increases as the knob is turned clockwise). loudest softest Finally, ...

CHAPTER 6 ‐ Auto Regen Swell When you activate this feature the pedal automatically sweeps the Regen parameter to the maximum value, hold it there, and sweeps it back to the previously set value ‐ It’s like having someone turns the REPEATS knob while you’re playing. Used judiciously, this feature introduces useful dynamic elements to the delay texture. ...
