USING THE TUNER

31

The Profiling Amplifier provides three types of delays in the DELAY module on the right.

Tap Delay

The delay time is linked to the tempo as selected in RIG settings, or by the TAP 

tempo button.

Free Delay

Delay time is freely adjustable in milliseconds, and independent from the TAP 

tempo. The delay time can be changed transparently, with no audible artifacts, 

which is also true for the tap delay.

Analog Delay

Delay time is adjustable in milliseconds, like in the free delay. However, adjusting the 

delay time will create those crazy pitch shifts or Doppler effects, known from the 

good ol’ bucket brigade delays.

More details about delay parameters can be found in the Reference manual.

♦

Delay LEDs

The delay LEDs will indicate the delay pattern by blinking in sync with the tempo. 

♦

Reverb

This is the built-in reverb effect. It includes several room- and hall-type reverbs. The reverb’s TIME and MIX 

parameters can be controlled with the dedicated hardware knobs on the upper half of the front panel.

Both delay and reverb tails will even survive rig changes that use different delay and reverb settings. This 

is called “spill over”.

Tap tempo

♦

Tap button

A number of effects allow timing parameters to be determined by the tempo of the song you play. These 

include the delay time in the Tap Delay, and the rate parameter of the Phaser, Flanger, Tremolo and other
