EarthQuaker Devices Silos Controls
Controls
· Mode: Toggles between the three delay modes:
Digital [D]: Clean delay with nearly infinite repeats that are bright for the
initial build up but will gradually darken with each regeneration. Analog [A]:
This is a darker delay with repeats that will gradually lose fidelity with
each regeneration. This mode will start to self-oscillate around 3 o’clock.
Tape [T]: This mode is a dark and dirty delay with repeats that will build up
quickly and become more distorted with each cycle. The distortion level
depends on the level of the input signal pick strings harder for more
distortion. This mode will start to self-oscillate around 3 o’clock.
· Time: Sets the delay time from 0-1 second. · Repeats: Controls the
regeneration of the delay signal. · Mix: Adjusts the level of the delay
signal. · Preset Save/Recall LED: This device has two operating modes which
are indicated by the
color of the LED: Green: Live Mode Red: Preset Mode
· Preset dial: Six available preset slots for you to save and recall your
favorite settings! The settings for each of the three controls, the Mode
switch and the expression jack assignment can be saved and recalled in any of
the slots.
Helpful Preset Tips
· Different EXP assignments can be saved in each preset. · Presets can be
stored and overwritten when Silos is in Live or Preset Mode. · To make changes
to an existing preset, you must first be in Preset Mode before making
the desired changes. · There is no undo for preset saving, so make sure you
are not overwriting your favorite
sound, especially when you are saving presets from Live Mode.
Activate: This turns the delay on/off.
Tap: Tap twice (or more) to set the tempo of the delay. The tap tempo is fixed
at a 1:1 ratio.
Expression Control
Use any TRS expression pedal to take control over the Time, Repeats or Mix
controls! Silos ships with the EXP jack mapped to the Mix control.
Flexi-Switch® Technology
This device features Flexi-Switch Technology!
· For standard latching operation: Tap the footswitch once to activate the
effect and then tap again to bypass.
· For momentary operation: With the effect off, hold the footswitch down for
as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch, the
effect will be bypassed.
Note that holding the bypass switch down while Silos is activated will switch
into the selected Preset Mode!
Silos is buffered bypass with tails. Power is required to pass signal.
Power Requirements
· Current Draw: 75 mA · This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply
with a 2.1mm negative center
barrel. We recommend using a pedal-specific, transformer-isolated, wall-wart
power supply or a power supply with multiple isolated-outputs. Pedals will
make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power
supplies, daisy chains and nonpedal specific power supplies do not always
filter dirty power and may result in unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER
VOLTAGES!
