Delay - DigiTech Element Owner's Manual

Delay

Delay is an effect that records the incoming signal then plays it back a short time later. The
recorded signal can repeat just once or several times, depending upon the type of delay. The
Element and Element XP offer 4 different delay types: Analog Delay, Digital Delay, Ping Pong
Delay, and Tape Delay. Each of these delay types have 5 seconds of delay time available, with the
exception of the Analog Delay which has up to 350ms.
There are two different effect settings used to program the Delay effect in the Element/Element
XP: Delay Type and Delay Time. The Delay Type setting selects the delay type and varies the
amount of feedback (number of repeats) and level as shown in the following table.
