6. Instruções de operação

6.1 Operação básica

1. Engage the Effect: Pressione o ON footswitch to activate the delay effect. The LED above the footswitch will illuminate.
2. Select Echo Type: Use o TIPO switch to choose between Drum, Tape, or Studio echo.
3. Ajustar o tempo de atraso: The delay time is primarily controlled by the TOCAR footswitch. Tap it two or more times to set the tempo. The VELOCIDADE switch (Half, Normal, Double) further divides or multiplies the tapped tempo.
4. Control Repeats: Vire o REPETE knob to increase or decrease the number of echo repetitions.
5. Set Echo Level: Use o NÍVEL DE ECO knob to blend the wet (effected) signal with your dry signal.
6. Add Spring Reverb: Ajuste o PRIMAVERA knob to introduce the onboard spring reverb.

6.2 Shaping the Echo Tone

• REC LEVEL: For clean echoes, keep this knob lower. Increase it to introduce natural saturation and soft clipping characteristic of magnetic media.
• CORTE BAIXO: Use this to remove muddy low frequencies from your repeats, making them clearer and less intrusive.
• MECHANICS & WEAR: These knobs allow you to dial in the imperfections and character of vintage echo machines. Experiment with them to achieve desired vintage textures.
• ESPAÇAMENTO: O ESPAÇAMENTO switch alters the rhythmic relationship between the four virtual playback heads.
  • Até: Heads are equally spaced.
  • Triplet: Creates triplet-based rhythms.
  • Golden: Asymmetrical spacing for unique rhythmic patterns.
  • Prata: Another asymmetrical spacing option.

6.3 Sound on Sound Looper Mode
