Delay parameters
Use the parameters in the Delay part of the Tone-
Print Editor window to configure the delay effect .
Delay Time parameter
Parameter range: 0 to 7000 ms
Use the Delay Time parameter to set the time be-
tween delay repetitions . This is also known as the
“length” of the delay .
Feedback parameter
Parameter range: 0 to 120 %
Use the Feedback parameter to define the amount
of the signal that is fed back from the delay mod-
ule’s output to its input . This parameter defines
how many repetitions of the original signal the
delay will create .
Please use high settings with extreme caution .
Due to the Spillover feature, there is no way to
immediately cut off the delay when you get an
internal feedback at settings above 100 % . This
means that the delays will increase in volume
until there is severe distortion . If this occurs, you
will need to reduce feedback by turning down the
knob assigned to the Feedback parameter, or by
simply turning off the effect until things have set-
tled down again .
Saturation parameter
Parameter range: 0 to 24 dB
Use the Saturation parameter to add a bit of
signal saturation to your delays . This is recom-
mended if you want to add a touch of “grit” to a
TonePrint .
Using saturation will bring you closer to the sonic
qualities of old school analog or tape delay units
with the slight distortion that occurs when driven a
bit harder . The saturation of the delayed signal is
similar to playing through a cranked-up amp . Hit-
ting the strings harder will give you a more over-
driven delay sound than playing softly .
FB HiCut (Feedback
High-Cut) parameter
Parameter range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Use the FB HiCut (Feedback High-Cut) param-
eter to attenuate the frequencies over the set fre-
quency for the delayed signal, resulting in a more
“analog” sound that in many cases that will blend
in better with the overall sound .
With digital technology, every delay can be a
precise reproduction of the input signal . But es-
pecially with long delay times, this is not always
desirable, as these pristine delays may disturb
the original signal, resulting in a “washed-out”
sound . To compensate for this, use the high-cut
filter, thereby emulating analog or tape style de-
lay units .
FB LoCut (Feedback
Low-Cut) parameter
Parameter range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Use the FB LoCut (Feedback Low-Cut) param-
eter to attenuate the frequencies below the set
frequency .
As with the Feedback High-Cut parameter, the
delays may blend in more nicely with the overall
sound if you “thin out” the effect at the low end .
Output Level parameter
Parameter range: -100 to 0 dB
Use the Output Level parameter to set the overall
output level for the delay effect .
Dynamic Delay
Sensitivity parameter
Parameter range: -50 to 0 dB
The Dynamic Delay is a feature that was initially
introduced in the well-recognized TC 2290 . It al-
lows the dynamics of the input signal’s level to
actively alter the delay output level, leaving the
source signal clear and undisturbed while you
play . The Dynamic Delay delicately complements
your performance .
Use the Dynamic Delay Sensitivity parameter to
set a “level limit” . If what you are playing is louder
than this setting, it will dampen the level of the
delay . If what you are playing is softer than this
setting, the delay will be audible .
