Terminology
Here is a list of a few common terms used in this manual� Please familiarize yourself
with the terms you do not already know� Understanding these terms will better help
you understand how to use the Discovery Delay, or any delay for that matter�
Signal
A signal in this text refers to an audio signal, which is a representation of sound in
the form of changing level of electrical voltage� Such a signal can come from your
guitar pickups, through your guitar cable and into the Discovery� It may also come
from previous eect, or from your ampliers eects send�
Dry signal
e Dry signal refers to your unaected guitar signal, or whatever signal that has
been connected to the input of the Discovery� is has no delay eect on it� When
the pedal is bypassed, all you are hearing is the dry signal�
Wet Signal
e Wet signal refers to the delay eect itself only without any dry signal� A delay
makes a copy of your dry signal, and plays it a certain amount of time later, which
creates the wet signal� e Dry and Wet signals are then mixed to form the nal out-
put signal�
Repeats
Repeats is a term used among users of Delay eects that refers to the actual repeated
dry signal that make up the wet signal� e wet signal is a repeated copy of the dry
signal that feedbacks into itself and keeps repeating what you play into it� Repeats
are also commonly referred to as “echoes”
Milliseconds (ms)
A millisecond is 1/1000 of a second� Milliseconds are abbreviated as “ms”� us, it
takes 1000 ms to make up 1 whole second�
