The FX96 is an Analog Delay pedal that offers tape delay simulation at your feet. [. . . ] JACKS: Input, Output, AC Adapter (use the DOD PS200R power supply only to eliminate the need for a 9 volt battery). OPERATION OF THE FX96 The FX96 can be operated in front of an amplifier or in an effects loop. Since the order of the effects is very important, they should be ordered as follows: 1) compression effects (DOD FX84), 2) Wah/volume and envelope filters (DOD FX17, FX25), 3) Distortion effects or preamps (DOD FX102, FX69B), 4) EQ's (DOD FX40), 5) chorus, flanging, phasing, vibrato (DOD FX75C), 6) Delay and reverb effects (DOD DFX98, FX 96). To set up your own sound with the FX96, set all controls at 12 o'clock. Then adjust the DELAY TIME and REGEN/REPEAT controls for the desired Delay time and Delay repeats. Next, adjust the MIX (DRY/TAPE) control for the desired amount of effect. Finally, dial in the quality of the Tape delay by adjusting the TAPE QUALITY knob control. On the following pages, some examples of different types of sounds are described, along with graphic representations of how to set the knobs. Since good (or bad) guitar sounds are a subjective matter, use these examples as starting points to create your own sounds that meet your specific tastes, or lack thereof. SLAP BACK DELAY Use this setting when you you require a good old fashioned slap back delay. It gives a nice and short delay time (approximatley 100 milliseconds), and enough repeat to make that Tele sing. GRAINY TAPE ECHO If you are longing for the unique sounds of an analog tape machine, this setting is for you. Utilizing the tape quality control, can give you an accurate emulation the old grain quality sound of echo tape when it becomes good and worn. The Echo setting will provide you with just enough delay time to make the delay sound out like and old tape machine. LONG DELAY To add depth and dimension to your playing, try this set-up to to provide big delay that layers your sound with a longer delay time and more repeats.
