Delay Machines: Duck
A dynamic delay that reacts to your playing with adjustable sensitivity and release time. As the sensitivity is increased, the
ducking effect becomes more pronounced.
PARAMETERS:
Sensitivity:
Release Time:
Ducking Feedback:
High Pass:
With very slight amounts of ducking, the dynamics of the delay are more 'felt' than 'heard'. Set the
TIPS & TRICKS:
SENS parameter to just ever-so-slightly reduce the delay volume when you play (most easily discovered with high
REPEATS and MIX settings, and RELEASE around 0.30). Then reduce the RELEASE param to 0.01, while keeping the
FEEDBK param at NORMAL. Now set the MIX and REPEATS to your liking. The results can be addicting.
DUCK
Adjusts the input sensitivity for the ducking feature. Turn to higher settings for more
extreme ducking. A low level guitar signal will require higher settings to achieve the
same ducking effect as a high level guitar signal. At low settings, subtle ducking effects
can be achieved.
|||||
Sets the release time for the ducking effect. This determines how quickly the
delay signal returns to full level once you stop playing. A fast Release with
extreme ducking can create a dramatic special effect, while slower releases with
moderate ducking can be transparent yet effective.

Sets the feedback ducking parameter. When on, the Repeats knob is effectively set
to minimum while you are playing, and then quickly returns to the Knob setting when
you stop playing. Very cool for single line playing with extreme ducking, you can play a
'dry' solo, and only the last note played will repeat.
NORMAL
GATE
Reduces the low frequency content of the wet signal after the delay. A useful
additional tone sculptor for delays on low-note riffs or chords where you want to
reduce booming in your rig.
