USER’S GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The Align Delay brings a classic eect to acoustic
musicians by optimizing the signal for high-delity
instruments. By expanding the range of your sonic
prole while underlining your primary acoustic sound,
the Delay augments both rhythm and melody for a
larger dimensional sound and feel. We’ve combined the
most desirable qualities of both analog and digital
circuitry to create the best possible sound with the
convenient features of a modern platform.

GETTING STARTED

1. Power the Delay with a 9V power supply or a
9V battery.

2. Plug your instrument into the input to activate the
Delay (upper right hand side) and a cable into
the ¼” output (upper left hand side).

3. Plug the ¼” cable into your amp, PA, or next pedal in
the signal chain and experiment with the Delay.

TOP FEATURES

A. TONE

This is a simple control to help you alter the tone of the

delay itself. It will not aect the tone of your instrument,
only the tone of the delay. Turn the control clockwise for
clear, digital-like repeats or counterclockwise for warm,
analog-like repeats.

B. DIVISION

This control sets the delay to a dotted eighth note of
whatever the tempo is set to. Best used with the tap.

C. INSTRUMENT INPUT

The ¼” input is an unbalanced (mono), all-discrete
input. Plugging into the input will activate the Delay,
therefore, unplugging will turn the system o.

D. TIME

This control sets the time between the original signal
and the repeated signal. The max time is about one
second. This control will override the tap when used.

E. TAP

This control allows you to manually set the delay tempo.
Tap multiple times at the desired delay tempo. This
control will override the time control when used.

F. ENGAGE

Press the footswitch to engage the eects. When the
light is on, all of the controls on the Delay are engaged.
When the light is o, the whole pedal is true bypassed.

G. REPEATS

This control determines the total number of repeats.
Turn clockwise to increase the number of repeats.

H. ¼” OUT

The ¼” output is an unbalanced, line level output. You
can plug into any amp or device that has a ¼” input.
We recommend running into any other LR Baggs Align
pedals, DI’s, or the Synapse Personal PA System.

I. DELAY

The delay control blends an aected delay signal with
an unaected instrument signal. When turned fully
counterclockwise, no delay will aect the signal. Turn
clockwise to add delay.

J. TAP TEMPO INPUT

This jack allows for the connection of an external tap
tempo footswitch or time control device to be used with
the pedal.

SIDE FEATURES

A. DC INPUT

The DC power input is designed for a standard 2mm
plug commonly used with eects pedals and “oorbox”
products. Most power supplies or multi-power devices
designed for musical products may be used. 9VDC
recommended with a 12VDC maximum. Plugging in a

power supply will activate the Delay.
