About the Playback Heads

Relative to whatever the tap delay time is at playback head 1, the tap delay time at
playback head 2 is twice that, and the tap delay time at playback head 3 is three times
that.

Example: With the MODE SELECTOR knob set to the “11” position and the tap

delay time set to 0. 5 seconds

The setting is 0.5 seconds at playback head 1, 1 second at playback head 2, and 1.5
seconds at playback head 3.

* The maximum values that can be set for the tap delay time in Normal/Long mode and Variation mode

differ.
