CONTROLS
Master Volume: Controls the overall output level of the pedal. At the maximum set-
ting, the output is boosted appr. 8dB.
Chorus: Controls the depth of the modulation effect that is applied when the chorus
is switched ON. Turn this up for deeper pitch modulation of the delay signal(s).
NOTE!: Please see “Helpful hints” below for more details.
Saturation: Controls the recording level of the rec. head. Depending on how strong
the incoming signal is, the record head can be driven into saturation when this control
is turned up. The corresponding led indicates when this happens. Settings just below
where the led lights up will give you the cleanest/loudest effect signal with the least
amount of noise. Higher settings will make the repeats more compressed, overdriven
and fuzzy, with added harmonic content.
NOTE!: Although the Replicator can handle very loud input signals, the recording
head will saturate sooner, the louder the input signal is. If the optimal dry/effect-sig-
nal ratio cannot be obtained, turn down the input signal to the pedal.
Delay level: This controls the level of the delay(s). At the maximum setting, the delays
will have appr. the same level as the dry signal (depending on the setting of the Satu-
ration knob).
Feedback: This controls the amount of repetitions of the delay. When set to mini-
mum only the first delay will be heard. At high settings, the Replicator´s repeats will
self-oscillate. This control is bypassed if an expression pedal is used for controlling the
feedback.
NOTE!: Self-oscillation will occur at different settings, depending on how fast the tape
is running and which “heads”-mode is selected.
Delay time: This controls the speed of the motor, and thereby the delay time. Depend-
ing on which playback head(s) is chosen, the max/min delay time available is:
Head1: 250 - 1200ms
Head2: 125 - 600ms
This control is bypassed if an expression pedal is used for controlling the delay time.
FOOTSWITCHES
On/off: This switch bypasses the effect, using a relay in a true bypass config. This
means that when the pedal is off, the incoming signal is routed straight to the output
jack.
