DELAY
Your AX2 Delay effects are controlled from the DELAY Edit Row (seventh one from
the top). Remember that the available options for the Delay Type are listed in the
Option List ( ) at the right side of the AX2 front panel.
Delay provides a delayed repeat, or echo, of your signal. By adding feedback, the
delayed signal can repeat many times, with the echo getting quieter with each repeat.
DELAY ON/OFF
If the Delay On/Off setting on the FX ON/OFF Edit Row is turned off, the Delay effect
will not be heard. If you adjust any of the Delay settings, the AX2 will turn the Delay
effect on for you.
DELAY TYPES
1. Mono – Mono Delay provides one or more echoes delayed up to 1250 mS after the
original signal. mS is “milliseconds,” or thousandths of a second, so 1250 mS is 1.25, or
one and one quarter, seconds. Main Delay Time (0-99) sets the time for the
echo(es). Delay Time Offset (0-99) lets you separate the delayed and non-delayed
signals in stereo. Set this to 0, and both signals are centered between the left and right
channels, creating a mono image; set it to 99, and the direct signal is routed to the
right channel, while the delayed signal goes to the left channel. Delay Feedback (0-
99) controls the number of repeats for the echoes, and Delay Level (0-99) sets the
volume for the echoes. Note that the volume is also effected by the DELAY/REVERB
Level control on the MAIN Row. If you want subtle (volume-wise) delay effects, try
setting the Delay Level high here on the Delay row, and then turn down the Delay/
Reverb level on the MAIN Row. This will give you the best sound quality for your
delayed signal. Also, see the note below about the Dynamic Delay setting’s effect.
2. Stereo – Stereo Delay provides two separate delays; one to the left channel, the
other to the right channel. Each can be delayed up to 625 mS (a little over half a
second) after the original signal. Main Delay Time (0-99) sets the time for the left
channel, and Delay Time Offset (0-99) sets the time for the right channel. When
Delay Time Offset is set to 0, the right side delay time is equal to the left side; when set
to 50, the right side delay time is 50% less than the left side, and so on. Delay
Feedback (0-99) controls the number of repeats for the echoes, and Delay Level (0-
