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
between 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 module’s output to its input. This param-
eter 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 settled 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.
Hitting the strings harder will give you a more
overdriven 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
frequency 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.
