Chapter 1 - OVERVIEW
In this second rendition, we've completely overhauled the original design of the
pedal to come up with a unique concept that packs a whole lot of useful features
and sound possibilities, whilst retaining the compact footprint. New features in-
clude presets capability, 6 new variation modes, and stereo inputs / outputs. The
overall delay algorithms have also been redesigned and improved.
Clockwork Delay V2 offers standard delay mode plus six variation modes. The
variation modes includes Tape, Lo-Fi, Ambient, and Multi-Head (Multi-Tap)
delays.

  • Page 6: Tap Tempo Function

    Chapter 3 - Tap Tempo Function The delay time can be set in relation to the tempo of the music by tapping on the [Select-Tap / Variation] footswitch. Recall that the same footswitch is also used to select preset locations, so how can we engage tap-tempo function without inad- vertently making preset selection? Note that whichever preset location you’re currently on, it takes a maximum of 3 moves to get to any other preset locations.

  • Page 8: The Algorithms

    Chapter 4 - The Algorithms Standard This is a pristine digital delay with modulation. A touch of tone-shaping is applied to keep the repeats from being ‘sterile cold’, while retaining clarity and definition. Maximum delay time is 1000 ms (1 second). PARAM knob is partitioned into 2 regions : the first half constitutes slow modula- tion rate and the second half constitutes medium rate.
  • Page 9 The Algorithms Lo-Fi This variation mode has a special voicing that mimics that of an analog delay. The warm and lush repeats work great to thicken your guitar sound without getting in the way of the dry sound. Maximum delay time is 1000 ms (1 second). PARAM knob is partitioned into 2 regions : the first half constitutes slow modula- tion rate and the second half constitutes medium rate.
  • Page 10 The Algorithms Tape This mode is an emulation of the tape echo system that produces band-limited echoes with a touch of saturation and delay time variation. PARAM knob is partitioned into 2 regions : the first half constitutes normal stereo and the second half constitutes ping-pong stereo.
  • Page 11 The Algorithms Ambient This variation mode blurs the line between delay and reverb. Repeats get more diffuse with each iteration, and as REGEN knob is turned up the echoes wash out into reverb-like ambience. PARAM knob controls the type and level of a secondary pitch-shifted voice. The first half of the knob range constitutes Perfect-fifth pitch interval and the second half constitutes Octave interval.
  • Page 12 The Algorithms (2-heads delay) This is a model of tape delay with 2 “playback heads”. Each input sound event will be played back twice at different delay times, and signals from the playback heads are re-injected into the feedback loop, creating layers of warm and complex multi- tap echoes.
  • Page 13 The Algorithms (3-heads delay) This is a model of tape delay with 3 “playback heads”. Each input sound event will be played back thrice at different delay times, and signals from the playback heads are re-injected into the feedback loop, creating layers of warm and complex multi-tap echoes.
  • Page 14 The Algorithms (4-heads delay) This is a model of tape delay with 4 “playback heads”. 4 choices of head configurations (tap patterns) are accessible through the PARAM knob. Heads Matrix  configuration (tap patterns)   A   :  Pattern I    B   :  Pattern II                           C   :  Pattern III    D  :   Pattern IV                          * As the REGEN knob is turned up higher, a touch of  PARAM reverb‐like ambience starts to appear, and the stereo ...

  • Page 15: Auto Regen Sweep

    Chapter 5 - Auto Regen Sweep When you activate this feature the pedal automatically sweeps the Regeneration parameter to the maximum value, hold it there, and sweeps it back to the previ- ously set value - It’s like having someone turns the REGEN knob while you’re playing.
