Features

Delay Time

  • Adjustment : The Delay Time knob allows you to set the delay from 20ms to 620ms, enabling a wide range of echo effects. This flexibility helps you create everything from tight slapbacks to expansive, atmospheric delays.

Feedback Control

  • Adjustment : The Feedback knob controls the number of repeats or how long the echoes continue. Increasing the feedback will add more repeats, creating a cascading effect, while lower settings will produce a single repeat or a few echoes.

Mix Control

  • Adjustment : The Mix knob balances the delayed signal with the original input signal. This allows you to blend the amount of delay effect with your dry tone, ensuring the right amount of echo in your sound.

True Bypass

  • Function : The pedal features true bypass switching, which ensures that your guitar’s signal remains unaffected when the pedal is not engaged. This maintains the integrity of your tone and prevents any unwanted coloration.

Flexible Delay Pedal

  • Range : With a delay time range from 20ms to 620ms, you can achieve a wide variety of delay effects. The adjustable delay level and feedback controls allow for customized delay sounds.

Durable & Compact

  • Design : The pedal features a classic aluminum-alloy construction that is stable and strong. Its mini size is convenient for pedalboards and ensures it won’t take up too much space.

True Bypass

  • Functionality : True bypass ensures that your tone remains transparent when the pedal is off. An LED indicator shows the working state of the pedal, providing visual feedback.
