- Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Quantum Leap is a toolkit of short delays, offering the option of lo res delays, flanging and chorusing effects as well as fixed comb filters - effects that are both great on their own, and also as a useful ‘companion’ to other analog or digital delays.
- Page 3 QUICK START GUIDE To get started quickly using the Quantum Leap, simply turn the unit on, bring SPEED, WIDTH, REGEN and MIX to roughly noon on the dial, then toggle the MODE switch to a desired flange, chorus, filter or delay effect. As SPEED, WIDTH, REGEN and MIX can be set to an almost infinite number of possibilities across the multiple modes, here are a few ‘preset’...

CONTROLS EXPLAINED The Quantum Leap packs a lot of different types of functionality into 5 major modes, each accessible by sequentially toggling through using the MODE toggle switch. The modes can be identified visually by the color of the right hand side TAP/FX LED. The following table briefly summarizes each mode and the purpose and function of user controls when in that mode. - Page 6 It’s still not the same as a true ‘through zero’ flange effect (which the Quantum Leap does not have support for), but with distortion in front of it it’s a nice effect on its own.
- Page 7 filtering as well as a unique ‘sample smear’ technique that smooths transients resulting in delay ‘washes’. Second, holding down the TAP/FX in this mode puts the Quantum Leap into an ‘out there’ harmonic delay mode, with either octave or fifth repeats selectable on the WIDTH knob.
- Page 8 With the feedback (REGEN) up, you can achieve some very interesting effects, from ‘turntable’-like speed change ‘bumps’ to almost ‘whammy’ like dives by setting the initial SPEED before noon with a distortion pedal out in front of the Quantum Leap user manual v1.01...
- Page 9 As the function of this switch is dependent on the effect mode, please see earlier descriptions of the modes and their constituent functions for a full explanation of TAP/FX switch control functionality. Quantum Leap user manual v1.01...
