DYNAMIC DELAY
USER’S GUIDE
We’d like to thank you for making the Seymour Duncan Andromeda Dynamic Delay a part of
your tone quest. In your hands is a powerful creative tool that combines classic delay sounds
with unique dynamic control for an inspiring musical experience.
HOW IT WORKS
DELAY TYPE SELECTOR – 8-way switch to select between delay types.

PRESET BUTTON – Press to cycle through the 4 presets (A/B/C/D) in the currently selected bank.
**SAVE FUNCTION**
Press both Bank and Preset buttons together to enter SAVE mode. Display will flash. Use Bank and Preset
buttons to choose a save location then press both buttons together again to Save the current UI state to
the selected preset location.
5
FEEDBACK KNOB Sets the desired number of delay repeats. Turning the FEEDBACK knob clockwise
will give you more delay repeats, up to infinite. In Analog mode the delay will enter runaway feedback.
6
DELAY TIME KNOB – Knob that controls the delay time. Using this knob overrides any preset Tempo
or Tap Value set by the tap footswitch.
7
TAP VALUE KNOB – 4-way switch to set note division of the delay time.
8
THRESHOLD KNOB – Knob to control the sensitivity of the Dynamic Expression feature. The LED will
illuminate brighter when there is more of the selected parameter blended in, and dim when there is less.
9
HARD/SOFT/OFF TOGGLE – Toggles the Dynamic Expression between its two modes or turns it o.
HARD MODE – Blends in more of the selected parameter (Mix, Mod, or Saturation) when you play harder
SOFT MODE – Blends in more of the selected parameter when you play softer.
10
EXPRESSION ASSIGN BUTTON – Selects the parameter that the Dynamic Expression feature
controls.
11
SATURATION KNOB – Adds pleasant overdrive and ‘grit’ to the wet signal (repeats). This is similar to
tape saturation.
12
TONE KNOB – Control to brighten or darken the sound of the wet signal.
13
MODULATION KNOB – Blends in a Chorus eect on the wet signal.
14
MIX KNOB – Determines balance of wet/dry signal.
Fully clockwise = 100% wet.
Fully counter-clockwise= 100% dry.
15
TRAILS BUTTON – When set to ON the delay will continue to decay naturally when bypassed.
(No new repeats will be generated). In this mode Andromeda uses a buered bypass.
When set to OFF the delay will cut o as soon as the eect is bypassed. In this mode Andromeda is
true-bypass.
16
BYPASS SWITCH – Turns delay on and o. Hold for Freeze. Be aware that in analog mode feedback
can run away and create loud or unpleasant noise.
17
TAP/PRESET FOOTSWITCH – Defaults to TAP mode, tap the footswitch two or more times to set
the tempo of the delay. To change to PRESET mode press and hold the footswitch until the LED stops
blinking and becomes solid, then press the footswitch to scroll through the four presets in the current
bank. After 2 seconds the mode will revert to TAP.
Your new Andromeda Dynamic Delay is fully functional out of the box (requires external 9V to
18V regulated DC adapter (center pin negative) with 300mA current rating, not included), but
you can access more utility and options by downloading the Librarian software at
www.seymourduncan.com/software. These functions include:
Firmware Updates – We will periodically release firmware updates for Andromeda to add
more features or increase the usability. You can download and install these updates by
connecting Andromeda to your computer using a micro USB cable and running the Librarian
software.
