Time knob
Adjusts the delay time. Set the knob parameter to your desired sub-division, then use the Smart Tap Tenpo to get sub-division delay time related to tap tempo.
Time range related to the models:
ΦPhi Digital Delay: 80ms~1000ms
Analog Delay: 40ms~ 403ms
Modulation Delay: 20ms ~ 1500ms
Tape Echo: 55ms ~ 552ms

Mix knob
Adjusts the wet/dry mixing level of delay，from 0% up to 100% when you turn the knob clockwise.
Delay Type knob
Selects the type of delay.
Repeat knob
Adjusts the repeat numbers of delay. In Mod D. or Verb, hold the footswitch to enter to Alt mode, (the LED indicator will flash ORANGE), Now the Repeat knob will adjust the Mod or Verb parameter. Short press the footswitch to quit Alt mode.
Toggle switch
This switch sets the bypass mode and Tone Lock. Selecting Tail sets the Buffer-Bypass to keep the delay with spillover while disengaged. TB means True-Bypass, there is no spillover while you disengage the effect. T.Lock means Tone Lock, an innovative function to store and lock your current parameter setting to prevent accidents on stage. After you set the parameters, just toggle the switch to T.Lock position, then the LED indicator will flash GREEN 2 times to store and lock the parameters. Then you can engage or disengage the effect by the footswitch and no worries.
Footswitch & FS Indicator
Press once to engage/disengage the effect. Press twice, it will become Smart Tap Tempo. The delay time is related to tap tempo and current sub-division parameter. (The FS indicator will flash as current BPM.)
Note: The maximum delay time of tap tempo is 1580ms.
When the effect is engaged, the FS indicator will show “Red”. While the effect is disengaged, the FS indicator will turn off.
