The first and third pages of the Delay menu are the same for all types. The second page of the edit
menu changes based on the type of delay selected.
Common Parameters
TYPE - Selects between the various delay types available.
INGAIN - Sets the input level into the delay lines. The primary purpose of this is to allow you to
attach a controller (i.e. pedal) to control the delay level without disturbing the mix. Set the mix at
the desired maximum echo level and then use the INLVL control (via a pedal) to control the echo
level. This is different than controlling the echo level with the MIX control since the echoes will
continue to sound after the control is set to zero whereas using the MIX control the echoes will be
immediately cut off. If you are not attaching a controller then you would normally set this to 100%
(default).
Mono Delay
TIME - Sets the time of the delay line (time between echoes).
FEEDBK - Sets the amount of delay feedback. This controls how many repeats are heard.
ECHO PAN - Controls the placement of the echoes in the stereo image. Note that this is different
than the PAN control on the MIX page which controls the panning of the mixed sound. This control
only effects the wet signal.
TEMPO - Locks the time to the global tempo. For example, if the global tempo is 120 bpm and the
tempo is set to a quarter note (1/4) then the time will be 500 ms (one echo per beat). To ignore the
global tempo set the tempo control to
NONE .
LOCUT FREQ - Sets the cutoff frequency of the lowcut filter. Higher values remove more low
frequency content from the delayed signal.
HICUT FREQ - Sets the cutoff frequency of the highcut filter. Lower values remove more high
frequency content from the delayed signal.
DRIVE - Sets the drive level into the tube simulator. This can be used to add some distortion to the
echo like an old tube-based tape delay. This control has no effect when using the Reverse delay
type.
Stereo Delay
TIME - Sets the time of the delay lines (time between echoes).
RATIO - Sets the ratio of the delay time of the right channel relative to the left channel. A ratio of
1.0 sets both channels equal. Decreasing this value decreases the delay time of the right channel.
SPREAD - Controls the stereo spread of the echoes. Increasing this value increases the separation
between the left and right delay signals.
