Mix
Remember! Since there are drive controls for both wet
and dry signal paths that affects the volume, you might
need to readjust the Mix after changing the Drive
controls.
Direct Drive
(top knob)
Delay Time
Tempo Sync
Controls the balance between
the delay and the direct signal.
Outputs only the original sig-
nal through the tube preamp
section when set on DRY, and
only the delay effect with
added tube saturation when
set to WET.
Set this control to blend the
wanted amount of delay with
the dry signal.
Controls the amount of tube
drive in the dry signal path.
Because the dry signal path
is really a model of a tube
Feedback Dry/Wet Mix
preamp, you can use the dry
signal path to color or distort
audio passing through it like
you might use a "real" tube
preamp.
Try moving the Mix control to full left and notice the
coloring of the dry signal path when adjusting Direct
Drive. This can be useful to just add some warmth to a
single track or even a whole mix.
Delay Drive
(bottom knob)
Controls the amount of tube
drive in the wet signal path.
Use Delay Drive to add color
or distortion to the delay
signal. This can make the delay
signal stand out in a mix and
give it a sound that ranges
from organic to smashed.
Delay Drive affects the signal
after the delay line feedback
loop and will thus add distor-
tion to all repetitions of the
delay.
