PingPong:
The PingPong delay causes the delay to alternate
between the left and right channels, resulting in a very
nice stereo feel.
Pan:
In Pan mode the delay repeats shift between left and
right output channels. The time it takes to pan the
delay repeats depends on the set delay time.
The pan-position shifts from 100% left to 100% right in
5 repeats.
Slap-Back:
Slap-back is the characteristic short delay type. Use
delay times from 80 to 140 ms and go back 50 years in
time or use even shorter delays with a minimum of
feedback to cover the funky sound from the late
seventies to the early eighties.
Try adding one of the modulation styles on a
slap-back delay.
15 - Subdiv - Subdivision
The subdivision options relate to the tapped tempo.
Tap the tempo in quarter notes and then select the
subdivision of your choice.
In the following a few suggestions are added. Take
these as an inspiration, then be innovative and find
your own.
Quarter note - Delay repeats play quarter notes
according to the tapped tempo. E.g. tap quarter
notes at tempo 120 BPM. The delay time of the
repeats is now 120 BPM or 500 ms.
Dotted eight note - A subdivision type often used
when the delay repeats add to the actual guitar
rhythm. Try playing quarter notes with the delay
level set relatively high.
Eight note triplets - Excellent for fifties style rhythm
in 6/8 where you play only on the fourth beat.
