Secondary Functions
SPRING REVERB: Controls
the mix of the integrated
spring reverb tank in any of
the delay modes.
LOW END
CONTOUR:
Controls the
low frequency
shaping of the
echo repeats.
Set to minimum
for extended
low frequency
bandwidth. Set
to maximum
for extremely
high-passed,
magnetic drum
style repeats.
TAPE BIAS: Adjusts tape
machine bias, from under-

bias levels result in reduced
echo volume and limited
headroom. Lower bias settings
result in the cleanest echos
with the most headroom. For an
optimally biased tape machine
set to 9:00. For an under biased
tape machine with extra high
frequency response set to
minimum.
