what happens when you press the [A], [B],
and [TAP/CTL] switches. Check the setting.
Delay sound does not remain when you
switch patches or turn o the delay
Is the PATCH: CARRY OVER (p. 19) setting

If CARRY OVER (p. 19) is set to “OFF” the
delay sound does not remain.
Could the SYSTEM: BYPASS (p. 17) setting
be “TRUE”?
If this is set to “TRUE” (True bypass), the
delay sound cannot be carried-over when
the eect is turned o even if CARRY OVER
is turned “ON.” Set SYSTEM: BYPASS to
“BUFFERED.”
