Specifications:

Product Name: SilosTM Multi-Generational Time Reflection
Device
Manufacturer: EarthQuaker Devices
Controls: Activate, Tap, Expression Control
Features: Flexi-Switch Technology, Buffered Bypass with
tails
Power Requirements: Pedal-specific, transformer-isolated,
wall-wart power supply recommended
Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty

Product Usage Instructions:

Controls Overview:

Activate: 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 control Time, Repeats, or Mix controls.

Flexi-Switch Technology:

Holding the bypass switch down while Silos is activated will
switch into the selected Preset Mode.

Power Requirements:

Silos is buffered bypass with tails, so power is required to
pass signal. Use a pedal-specific, transformer-isolated, wall-wart
power supply or a power supply with multiple isolated outputs.
Avoid running at higher voltages to prevent damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: How do I set presets in Live Mode?

A: To save presets in Live Mode, adjust the sound to your
preference and hold down the bypass switch until the preset is
saved.

Q: Can I use any expression pedal with Silos?

Repeats, or Mix controls. The EXP jack on Silos is mapped to the
Mix control by default.

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!

· Input Impedance: 500 k · Output Impedance: 100
