TIME: Controls the delay
time according to the selected
delay mode. Delay clock
is continuously variable so
that turning it while repeats
are happening can produce
interesting pitch effects.
REPEATS: Varies the
number of repeats from
one to runaway oscillation.
When set to 3:00, a
sustained infinite repeat is
achieved without runaway.
MIX: Controls the balance of dry
signal and wet signal from 100%
dry at minimum to 100% wet
at maximum. The mix occurs
entirely in analog. Set to 3:00 to
get a 50/50 mix.
BUCKET LOSS:
Controls the
amount of bucket
loss at each stage
in the dBucket
algorithm, from no
loss at minimum,
to full noisy loss at
maximum. Set to
3:00 to get maximum
distortion loss with
just a hint of noise.
Increasing from 3:00
adds more noisy
loss. TIP: Hold TAP
and BYPASS while
turning the knob to
adjust the filter for
darker or brighter
repeats (see pg 5 for
more info).
MOD:
Adds LFO modulation
to the delay time.
Modulation is off at
minimum setting. The
modulation speed is
slow in the first half
of the knob, and fast
in the second half of
the knob, increasing in
intensity as the knob is
turned clockwise.
TAP FOOTSWITCH:
Tap quarter notes to set the delay time.
The TAP LED will flash to indicate the
tempo. TIP: Holding the tap footswitch will
result in infinite repeats.
BYPASS FOOTSWITCH:
Engages and disengages effect. Bypass mode is
true bypass by default. LED on indicates that the
effect is engaged. TIP: Hold the bypass footswitch
during power up to change the bypass mode to
analog bypass with trails (delay persist).

MODE SWITCH:
Controls the delay time range
by adjusting the number of
dBucket ‘chips’ in the delay.
Short mode ranges from
40ms to 400 ms, med from
100ms to 1000ms, and long
from 500ms to 5s
TAP SWITCH:
Changes the tap
subdivision between
quarter notes,
dotted eighth notes,
and eighth note
triplets.
TIP: Hold down BYPASS and TAP while turning the MIX knob to achieve a +/- 3dB
boost or cut when the pedal is engaged (12:00 on the Mix knob is unity gain).

Connect a standard TRS

parameter. To select the knob
controlled by the expression
pedal, hold the TAP footswitch
during power up. The first knob
turned is then then assigned
to the expression pedal. The
maximum position the knob
is turned up to becomes the
expression pedal “toe down”
maximum value.
