  • Page 26: Advanced Settings

    This is set at 50% and allows you to increase the amount of input signal going into the delay. From the factory, Syncopy has been calibrated using standard single-coil pickups. For example more input gain may be required for lower output single-coils and less input gain may be required for humbucking pickups or synths etc.
  • Page 27 How to set the feedback oscillation threshold: Being able to set Syncopy’s feedback threshold, allows you to set the amount of feedback that’s attainable before the feedback goes into self oscillation. Some people like this to come in earlier than others do, note that this can also depend on the signal strength going into the product.
  • Page 28 How to use the self-oscillation ramp function: The self oscillation ramp function allows you to ramp up the delay feedback to maximum and at a fixed speed using the Tap Tempo foot-switch. You can go from zero feedback to self-oscillation in a matter of mS/ seconds depending on how sensitive you have set the feedback oscillation threshold.
  • Page 29 Buffered and Non-Buffered (True Bypass) switching modes and even assign these to a Preset. But what does this mean when using the Syncopy in these modes? Buffered Bypass: allows you to play your delay lines with trails.
