new tape and a full frequency response

dark, rolled off high end offered up by old tape and
worn heads
d time | ratio: controls the delay time. in tap mode, it
controls the ratio of the delay time relative to the tempo
that is tapped
for example, at 1:2, the delay time will be twice
as fast as the tempo tapped
tap stompswitch: in tap mode, this sets the delay time
when tapped. it will change to the new delay time after
2 taps and will average the last 4 taps
