4PRESET 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.

5FEEDBACK 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.

6DELAY TIME KNOB – Knob that controls the delay time. Using this knob overrides any preset Tempo or Tap Value set by the tap footswitch.

7TAP VALUE KNOB – 4-way switch to set note division of the delay time.

8THRESHOLD 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.

9HARD/SOFT/OFF TOGGLE – Toggles the Dynamic Expression between its two modes or turns it off. 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.

10EXPRESSION ASSIGN BUTTON – Selects the parameter that the Dynamic Expression feature controls.

11SATURATION KNOB – Adds pleasant overdrive and ‘grit’ to the wet signal (repeats). This is similar to tape saturation.

12TONE KNOB – Control to brighten or darken the sound of the wet signal.

13 MODULATION KNOB – Blends in a Chorus effect on the wet signal.

14MIX KNOB – Determines balance of wet/dry signal. Fully clockwise = 100% wet.

Fully counter-clockwise= 100% dry.

15TRAILS 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 buffered bypass.

When set to OFF the delay will cut off as soon as the effect is bypassed. In this mode Andromeda is true-bypass.

16BYPASS SWITCH – Turns delay on and off. Hold for Freeze. Be aware that in analog mode feedback can run away and create loud or unpleasant noise.

17TAP/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.
