[. . . ] 0. 5 Second 2 Seconds 4 Seconds 8 Seconds Analog Modulated Reverse Slapback Lo Fi Digital delay. A low-fidelity delay that has limited bandwidth and reduced bit-depth to approximate the effects of low sample rate and 8-bit signal processing used in vintage digital delays. Time knob range* is 100 millseconds to 1 second. Based on the Digital Delay, this delay alternates repeats between the left and right outputs. NOTE: When both inputs are connected (stereo in), only the left input is processed through the delay. The dry path does maintain stereo separation. Tape Pong The JamMan® Delay's delay has a Tempo footswitch that can be used for setting the delay time by tapping in the rhythm. Simply press the footswitch in time with the music to adjust the delay time. Tempo works in conjunction with the Multiplier button so you can tap in quarter notes but get variations on the delay time depending on which Multiplier is selected. * With MULtIPLIeR at quarter note setting. . 26 Delay Types and Parameters Each delay type has a common set of controls for setting up the delay (Delay Level, Time, and Repeats). There are also two custom controls (Modify 1, Modify 2) that offer added flexibility by controlling specific settings for each delay type. The table below shows what each these knobs control with each delay type. Modify 1 0. 5 - 8 Seconds Reverse Modulated Analog Slapback LoFi Tape Pong Bass Trigger Sensitivity Modulation Modulation Drive Low Pass Drive Ratio Modify 2 Treble Tone Tone Tone Tone High Pass Wow/Flutter Spread The 0. 5­8 second (Digital), Modulated, Reverse, and Pong delay types have a repeat hold function when the Repeats knob is turned fully clockwise. This means the input of the delay is shut off and the delay will repeat indefinitely until the Repeats knob is moved off the maximum position. Analog, Slap, LoFi, and Tape delays have an "analog" behavior (pitch shifting sound) when the Time is changed. When the Repeats knob is set to the maximum setting, these delays can become unstable just like the actual delays they were modeled from do. The Modulation parameter adds chorusing or a vibrato effect to the delay. The second half of the knob range is vibrato with increasing depth. 27 Storing and Recalling Delay Settings The JamMan® Delay's delay settings can be stored to any of the numbered footswitches allowing instant recall of these settings during performance. When delay settings are modified by turning the knobs, the DeLaY StoRe button will light. To store modified settings to the footswitches, follow these steps: 1. This button will now be lit and the DeLaY footSWItcHeS will begin flashing. Press any flashing DeLaY footSWItcH to store the settings to that footswitch (or press the DeLaY StoRe button again to store the settings to the currently active DeLaY footSWItcH). The DeLaY StoRe button will turn off and the active footswitch will stop flashing and light solid to indicate the new settings have now been stored to this location. To recall stored delay settings, press the DeLaY footSWItcH they were stored to. You can also store delay settings during live performance (such as a new tapped tempo) by pressing and holding the active delay memory footswitch for 3 seconds. NOTE: Delay settings cannot be edited or stored when the delay effect is bypassed. 28 Storing and Recalling Delay Settings 2 1 29 Setting Delay Time with the Delay Tempo Footswitch The JamMan® Delay's delay has a Tempo footswitch that can be used for setting the delay time by tapping in the rhythm. [. . . ] The first time a memory card is inserted into the JamMan Delay, it is recommended that you format the card using the JamMan Delay's format procedure (see page 65). To install an optional SD/SDHC memory card into the JamMan Delay, insert the card into the Memory Card slot on the back panel with the label face up and the angled part of the card pointing toward the chassis. 64 Using Optional SD/SDHC Memory Cards Formatting SD Cards Although it may not be mandatory, it is recommended any memory card that is inserted into the JamMan® Delay for the first time should be formatted using the JamMan Delay's format procedure. Insert an optional SD/SDHC card in the MeMoRY caRD slot on the rear panel. The display will show FO (Format) and the LooP StoRe button will begin flashing. [. . . ]
