- Page 1 Silos ™ Multi-Generational Time Reflection Device...
- Page 2 After months of tinkering, his mission was accomplished and the Silos was born. With just four knobs, one three-way switch, one Save/Recall button, and two footswitches, he made the impossible possible...
- Page 3 INTRO (CONT.) Each of the three modes offers up to one second of delay time which allows it to be a longer delay than most vintage analog and tape delays. From noon and back is 500 milliseconds to zero, which has its own character. From 500 milliseconds to one second of delay time, it’s an entirely different beast.
- Page 4 INTRO (CONT.) Mode A: Analog Delay – The Analog mode is more mid- focused. The repeats degrade faster and are still dark and murky when it builds up, but without all the low-end throb that can muddy up the signal. This mode rolls off the top end and sounds particularly killer with a clean guitar signal.
- Page 5 So now that your delay selection dilemma is solved and your pedalboard is more spacious than ever, go forth and boldly riff as you have never riffed before! Each Silos pedal is triple distilled, triple tested, and triple handcrafted in Akron, Ohio, USA.
- Page 6 CONTROLS MODE Digital (D): Clean delay with nearly infinite repeats that are bright for the initial build up but will gradually darken with each regeneration. Analog (A): Designed to mimic the sound of my vintage bucket brigade based KMD analog delay.

Page 7: Preset Dial
This device has two operating modes which are indicated by the color of the LED: Green = Live Mode, Red = Preset Mode. ACTIVATE This turns the delay on/off. Silos is buffered bypass, the delay trails will naturally decay when the pedal is turned off. - Page 8 Tap twice (or more) to set the tempo of the delay. The tap tempo is fixed at a 1:1 ratio. NOTE Silos will be set to the delay time indicated by the Time control on each power up. The Tap footswitch will override the panel control...

Page 9: Global Features
GLOBAL FEATURES Silos has two operating modes which are indicated by the color of the Save/Recall switch. GREEN = LIVE MODE The pedal will operate exactly where the controls are set, and any changes will have no effect on the presets unless saved. The Save/ Recall switch will stay static green. - Page 10 PRESETS Silos has six available preset slots for you to save and recall your favorite settings. The settings for each of the three controls, the Mode switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of the slots.
- Page 11 Helpful Preset Tips: • Different EXP assignments can be saved in each preset! • Presets can be stored and overwritten when Silos is in Live or Preset Mode. • To make changes to an existing preset, you must first be in Preset Mode before making the desired changes.

Page 12: Expression Control
1. Insert the expression pedal TRS plug into the EXP jack. 2. Place the expression pedal in the toe down position. 3. Turn the panel control on the Silos that you wish to put under control of the expression pedal. It doesn’t matter how far or which direction you turn the control. - Page 13 Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed. NOTE THAT HOLDING THE BYPASS SWITCH DOWN WHILE SILOS IS ACTIVATED WILL SWITCH INTO THE SELECTED PRESET MODE! Silos is buffered bypass with tails. Power is required to pass signal.

Page 14: Power Requirements
POWER REQUIREMENTS Current Draw ....75 mA This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We recommend using a pedal-specific, transformer-isolated, wall-wart power supply or a power supply with multiple isolated-outputs. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power.
