Make sure that the circuit board is not touching any bare metal that may cause a short circuit and damage
the unit. Do not touch the circuit board while the unit is powered up.
Carefully power up the unit.
Set the Delay Time and Repeats controls fully clockwise (turning to the right) and set the Mix control to 12 o’clock.
Turn VR37 fully CW.
Turn the Time control fully counter clockwise to the left (faster repeats), the circuit should feedback and scream at you.
With the delay feeding back on itself turn VR37 CCW until the repeats soften but do not die o.
To test the setup:
- Turn the Repeats control fully CCW so that there are no repeats and the Time fully clockwise for long repeats.
- Next, turn the Repeats control up full again.
- When the Time control is turned fully CCW the delay should start to feedback again, if not dial VR37 CW a little further.
Or alternatively, if it feeds back too easily or if you don’t want this behavior at all, turn VR37 a little more CCW to
reduce the eect of the feedback.
If you would like clean repeats lower the amount of feedback so the delay does not feedback on itself easily, or at
all, and keep the level through the delay circuit low. This can be achieved by using the Overdrive level to control the
amount of signal sent to the delay. This exibility lets you achieve clean and crisp repeats or a delay that screams at you
as you let it feedback on itself.
