The following are details on a few late-breaking models and features that were implemented

in the latest M13 firmware. These were the result of customer requests, as well as features

the development team wanted to add in the final months of development.

Tap-based FX

Many guitarists who use time-based effects like to set their delay times to a note value

relative to the song tempo, as opposed to setting delay times in milliseconds. This has

been included in the M13 as Tap-based FX. To set your delay time to tap tempo, turn Knob

1 to the far right and you’ll see a quarter note symbol in the LCD. Change it to any note

you like. Now tap the desired tempo and your time-based effect will sync to it. Your note

value is persistent, so when you scroll through other effects it will be retained. To set your

delay time to ms, turn Knob 2 to the right again, and you’ll return to Time-based mode.

Fine-Tune Mode

When you’re in Time-based mode, you may want to fine-tune your delay time to an exact

number. This may be necessary to match a song’s tempo, or to set up precise stereo delays,

to 240 ms L and 480 ms R for example. To make this easy to do, we’ve implemented Fine-

Tune mode. When you want to dial in a precise delay time, simply do the following:

• Adjust Knob 1 to set the delay time close to the desired value.
• Press and hold the Tap switch and turn Knob 1 again to enter Fine-tune mode.
• You can now fine-tune your delay time to the millisecond with Knob 1.

*Fine-Tune works the same way for many other parameters in the M13. To fine-tune a

parameter, press and hold Tap then turn the knob for the parameter you want to fine-tune.
