A long press of the Tempo switch enters Preset Select mode. Once you have entered the Preset 

Select mode, the currently selected red preset LED will blink. A short press on the Tap Tempo switch 

will move up one preset and a long press will move down one preset. Once the desired preset is 

queued, pressing the Engage foot switch will activate it. When the footswitch is used to load a preset, 

the bypass status of the effect will not change.

Presets:
The 4 LEDs above the Engage footswitch indicate which preset is currently selected. Pressing the 

push button switch above the Engage switch cycles through the 4 available presets. When a new 

preset is selected, the corresponding LED will blink. Press and hold the push button switch (or hit 

the Engage footswitch) to load the selected preset. To save a preset after making changes, press 

and hold the push button switch. This action will cause the current preset LED to double-blink. If you 

want to save to over the current preset, press and hold the push button switch to save. If you want 

to save to a different preset, press the push button switch until the desired LED is double blinking. 

Then press and hold the push button switch to save. If you want to exit the preset save without saving 

anything, press either the Engage footswitch or Tempo footswitch.

The Tempo footswitch can be assigned to perform alternate, Special FX functions by pressing the 

push button switch located above the Tempo footswitch. Pressing the small push button switch will 

cycle through the alternate footswitch functions. Once the desired function is selected, pressing 

the Tempo footswitch will turn this function on and off. When a Special FX function is activated, 

the corresponding LED will flash. Once a Special FX function is activated, you can still change the 

functionality of the Tempo footswitch by pressing the push button switch.   

Reverse makes the delay line go backwards.

 

Jump makes the delay line jump up 1 octave. When Jump is activated, only the first tap will change 

pitch. If the second tap is turned on, it will remain at the normal pitch.

 

Pong is activated independently with a push and hold on the small push button switch. Pong causes 

the echoes to alternate between the left and right channels and is meant to be used with a stereo, 

two amp setup. The Pong function can be turned on and off regardless of which function is selected 

for the Tempo footswitch. Pong cannot be activated by the Tempo footswitch.

Preset Select

Special FX

The primary function of the left footswitch is tap tempo. Pressing Tap sets the length of the delay 

and overrides the current Time knob setting. Turning the Time knob overrides the tap tempo setting.
