delay steps through its memory array and thusly the amount of delay. Clockwise
rotation increases the rate (which decreases the delay time), counter-clockwise
decreases the rate (which increases the delay time).
Feedback: Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the
delay cell. Feedback is what creates a reverberation or echo sound – multiple
repetitions of an acoustic event. Clockwise rotation increases the amount fed
back, and thus the number of repeats, counter-clockwise decreases the amount.
The nominal operating area is between 6:00 and 9:00 during normal usage.
More than this will set up a self-propagating feedback cycle that will quickly get
out of hand.
Insert: This is the attenuator for the feedback loop insert jack. The jack is
situated between the delay cell output and the feedback cell input. The feedback
cell input is calibrated for the output of the delay cell, which is around 1.5V
maximum, and most standard signals inserted here will overload the feedback cell
unless attenuated, hence the Insert attenuator. Turn clockwise to increase the signal
level, counter-clockwise to attenuate.
When not using the Insert jack, it is recommended to keep this control turned
fully clockwise, to the maximum position. Otherwise, you are attenuating the output
of the delay cell, which will affect everything else further down the signal path.
Input: This is the input level control. Just like a volume knob – clockwise
increases level, counter-clockwise attenuates the signal level.
Mix: Um, yeah. Guess what this controls? The balance of the mixed signal
at the Mix output! Seriously, this controls the mix between the Clean and Delay
signals at the Mix jack, really!

Input: This is kind of important for a delay unit: you need a signal to delay,
or else they're somewhat dull effects. This is the jack where that signal is input
into the delay.
Insert: This is the feedback loop insert breakjack. Inserting a plug here will

Jacks
The jacks are grouped by the type and direction
(into or out of the module) of the relevant signal.
Rate: Quirk warning: Rate CV behavior is
inverted. Negative increases rate, positive decreases.
If that bugs you too much, just think of it as the delay
CV input and the issue magically disappears! Positive
increases the delay, and negative decreases the
delay.
Feedback: This works normally, positive CV
increases feedback, negative decreases same.
