TAP footswitch

To set the desired delay time, you can tap the 
TAP footswitch rhythmically. This is an alterna-
tive to using the TIME knob.

Simply tap the Tap footswitch a few times in the 
current song tempo.

The tempo applies to all currently active Delay 
Engines.

To readjust the tempo when it is a bit off (of 
course, the drummer is to blame!), just tap the 
Tap footswitch again in the correct tempo.

Please note that the tempo is defined and indi-
cated on the basis of whatever note value you 
have selected with the Subdivision Selector 
knob. If you have set the Subdivision Selector 
knob to quarter notes and tap the footswitch 
two times per second, you will hear two delay 
repeats per second, corresponding to a tempo 
of 120 BPM. If you now switch the Subdivision 
Selector knob to Eight notes, you will hear four 
delay repeats per second. Set the Subdivision 
Selector knob to different note values for the 
three Delay Engines to achieve more interesting 
effects.

Please note that the TIME knob and the TAP 
footswitch control the same parameter – the de-
lay time. When you adjust either one, it overrides 
the other.

The TAP footswitch LED will always flash in the 
tempo of the Delay Engine currently selected 
with the Delay 1/2/3 Selector switch.

Delay types

Use the Delay Type Selector to choose the type 
of delay you want to work with. This pedal offers 
a wide range of delays – from classic tape delays 
to the pristine sound of a TC 2290.
