delaY

The 

DELAY

 unit produces echo/repeat effects. The 

delay time is set by tapping the 

TEMPO

 button, or 

by pressing down on it and 

SET

 the tempo using the 

Program section dial. 

 

With the Tempo Set button pressed down, the 
Dry/Wet knob can be turned and used as a 
short-cut for changing the tempo.

The 

FEEDBACK

 button determines the number of 

delay repeats, or taps. at the lowest setting (led 
unlit) only the initial tap is heard, while the 

1

2

 and 

3

 

settings give an increasingly long feedback tail.

PiNG PoNG

in 

PING PONG

 mode (shift + Tempo) delay repeats 

alternate between the left and right channels. if 
short delay times are used, these repeats will be 
“asymmetrical” and produce delays that are more like early reflections in 
reverb units.

The 

DRY/WET

 knob adjusts the balance between the dry signal and the 

delay repeats.

TeMPo TaP

Use 

TAP 

to set a delay time matching the tempo of a song. simply tap 

the Tempo button in the tempo you wish the delay to sync to a number 
of times, and the delay time will be adjusted automatically.

 

M

The Delay unit can be set to have effect on all Layers, indicated by 
all source LEDs being lit.

reverB

The 

REVERB

 unit simulates the natural sound 

reflections in various acoustic environments. The 
reverb is a “global” effect, which is to say that it will 
always be applied to 

all

 active sound engines. 

The reverb unit is turned on or off by pressing 

ON

The five available reverb types; 

BOOTH

ROOM

STAGE

HALL

 and 

CATH

 (Cathedral) represent increasingly 

larger environments – from a short, reflective 
ambience in Booth mode, through more natural 
sounding rooms in room, stage and Hall modes to an 
extremely large and immersive reverb in Cath mode.

CHORALE

 (shift+Type) is a distinctly modulated 

variation of each reverb type, useful to give the 
reverb signal more movement.

With the 

BRIGHT

 option active, more high frequency 

content will be preserved in the reverb signal. in 

DARK

 

mode, high frequencies are dampened.

The 

DRY/WET

 control sets the balance between the unprocessed and 

the processed signal.
