All Delay Machines share a set of parameters. These parameters are saved with each preset and include:

Tap Division:

BANK DOWN BANK UP

Selects the subdivision to use for delay repeats when tapping in a tempo.

Tap division options include:

PLAY

STOP hold (looper)

Quarter notes (default), Dotted Eighth notes, Eighth notes, Triplets, Sixteenth notes note: If TAPDIV is set to anything other than Quarter notes, the TAP LED will blink in amber

Boost: +/- 3dB of boost/cut. This can be useful for level matching in your effects chain, or can be used as an effect such as boosting a solo with delay.

Persist: Turns on delay persist “trails” which will spill over when the effect is bypassed. Use this if it is desired for delay repeats to continue after the effect has been bypassed. Note that if persist is set to ON, the bypass mode will automatically be analog bypass.

Name: Allows editing the 16 character name of the current patch. Use the VALUE encoder to change the selected character. Use the TYPE encoder to select a character. Exit by pressing the VALUE encoder, then press and hold the TYPE encoder to SAVE the name permanently.

note: For the patch name to be displayed the NAMES global must be set to ON or SCROLL.

Expression Pedal ON/OFF: Enables or disables the expression pedal input for each patch.

Expression Pedal Set: Enters the expression pedal setup for each patch. All knobs can be configured to be used with the expression pedal. To set up which knobs are controlled by the expression pedal, push the Value encoder when it displays “EP SET” and it will then display “HEEL”.

Turn the knob(s) to the position desired at heel down on the expression pedal. Then, turn the Value encoder right to display”TOE” and set the knobs to their desired values at the toe down position on the expression pedal. An expression pedal can control all of the knobs simultaneously.

Repeat Dynamics: Reduces the Repeats in a non-linear fashion so that the delay tapers off faster than it normally would. The effect is most easily heard with high Repeats levels, allowing for high repeats that trail off to allow the next phrase or chord to stand out more.

OFF

ON

TIPS & TRICKS:

The HIPASS parameter can be very effective in producing bright repeats for a ‘super-clean’ digital delay. Set the Filter and GRIT knobs to minimum position for full bandwidth and experiment.

Set GRIT and FILTER knobs to 12:00 for an “analog-voiced” digital delay, or try GRIT at minimum and FILTER at maximum for a “tape-voiced” digital delay.

Configuration:

Select from a series or parallel dual delay setup. In series, Delay 1 feeds Delay 2, just as if you had two independent stereo delays connected on your pedalboard. In parallel configuration, the input signal goes to Delay 1 and Delay 2 simultaneously, and the output of the two delays are fed to the Left and Right channels respectively (or summed to the Left channel in Mono operation).

SERIES

PARA

TIPS & TRICKS:

Set the CONFIG param to PARALLEL to get independent Right and Left channel delay lines

(the two parallel delays will be summed to mono in mono operation - very useful for rhythmic delays). This also allows for a ‘wet - dry’ stereo setup as follows:

CONFIG param to PARALLEL ::: Turn the MIX knob to minimum (dry) ::: Set RPT2 param to TRACK

Set TIME2 param to 1:1 ::: Set MIX2 param to set the level of the delays

Now the knobs on the machine will control Delay2 (Right channel), while Delay1 (Left channel) is dry only (since

MIX knob is minimum). The repeats will only be heard from the Right channel.

Pattern 16 is a sort of ‘early reflection’ pattern. Experiment with delay times around 200mS, lots of Repeats and the

SMEAR param at maximum to create reverb-like sounds. Add some MOD DEPTH at lower MOD SPEED and play with the Filter and Grit knobs and HIPASS param to dial in the ‘reverb’ tone.

To keep your dry signal feeding into the reverse delay while effectively bypassed, assign an expression to control the

MIX knob. Assign the HEEL position to the MIX knob at minimum. Assign the TOE position to the desired wet mix on the

MIX knob. Rock the expression pedal all the way back to bypass the delay. Rock the pedal to the TOE position to hear reverse repeats that have already been generating while the mix was at full dry.

TIPS & TRICKS:

With very slight amounts of ducking, the dynamics of the delay are more ‘felt’ than ‘heard’. Set the

SENS parameter to just ever-so-slightly reduce the delay volume when you play (most easily discovered with high

REPEATS and MIX settings, and RELEASE around 0.30). Then reduce the RELEASE param to 0.01, while keeping the

FEEDBK param at NORMAL. Now set the MIX and REPEATS to your liking. The results can be addicting.

TIPS & TRICKS:

RAMP mode at lower lfo SPEED can create an interesting reverse envelope. Try SQUARE and SINE at higher

LFO SPEED for a traditionally-inspired new sound. Experiment with the MIX control in conjunction with the

DEPTH parameter to dial in the intensity.

TIPS & TRICKS:

With a minimum delay time of 2ms, you can set the MIX

STOP hold (looper) to full wet (fully CW) and get a real-time lofi machine with bit-crush, samplerate and filtering possibilities. All knobs and PARAMS are still active. Additionally, you can create modulation effects like chorus, flange and vibrato by using the MOD SPEED and

MOD DEPTH knobs to modulate the delay line. For modern digital mod effects, set the SAMPLE rate to 96kHz and BITS to 32 and turn the

FILTER param to OFF.

Experiment with the

Filter and Grit knobs and the Lo-Fi Params to go from pristine to vintage to garbage can.

TAPE AGE: In dTape, the filter knob takes on the function of TAPE

AGE. This controls the bandwidth of the tape just as it would change over time in a traditional tape delay machine.

As regular tapes wear out, their bandwidth becomes limited. The

TIPS & TRICKS:

The RANGE parameter selects a ‘one-chip’ dBucket delay, or a ‘two-chip’ dBucket delay. The one-chip delay has half the delay range (SINGLE - 400mS) as the twochip delay (DOUBLE - 800mS), and experiences clock-related artifacts at half the delay time as the two-chip delay. For cleaner delays of 300ms to 400ms, use DOUBLE with lower

Set to 3:00 to get maximum distortion loss with just a hint of noise. Increasing from 3:00 adds more noisy loss.

TIPS & TRICKS:

A classic analog delay sound is one with a bright first repeat and darker subsequent repeats. To dial this in, set the FILTER knob at minimum and the GRIT (bucket loss) at 12:00. Set the delay time. The bucket loss will reduce the bandwidth and fidelity of the repeats progressively with minimum coloration from the FILTER. pg 19

LOOPER GLOBALS: There are controls to vary the loop level, looper exit behavior and looper pre or post configuration in the GLOBALS menu. Please consult the globals section of the manual for more information.

LOOPER MIDI CONTROL: Controlling the looper via MIDI is accomplished by sending MIDI note numbers with a velocity greater than zero OR MIDI CCs. Record, Play, Stop, Reverse, Half Speed, Undo (to initial recorded loo) and
