• PRE-DELAY (green LED): Sets the initial time before the reverb

begins. Pre-delay times vary between 0 and .5 seconds. In

ECHO mode delay times vary between 0 and 2.5 seconds. Pre-

delay is excellent for creating slapback effects. It will also create

the illusion of playing in a larger space (the longer it takes to

hear the ﬁrst echo, the further away the walls would be). Long

pre-delay times may seem excessive, but can work well in a

band or mix context.

Tip: Use pre-delay to add clarity. If the reverb begins too soon

after a note is played, it tends to clutter the perception of the

sound. Delaying the reverb makes it much easier to hear the dry

signal without sacriﬁcing any of the reverb signal. Also, try using

pre-delay with a very short reverb time for an interesting and

non-traditional effect. This combination creates a single, heavily

processed echo.

Tip: If the pre-delay knob is moved while audio is running

through the effect, a Doppler shift will be heard. Assigning an

expression pedal or Hot Hand to the Pre-Delay knob (See the

Control Assign section) is a great way to create some extremely

far-out effects.
