1. Power input
The power input of this pedal is a standard
5.5 / 2.1 mm DC plug (centre = negative). To pow-
er up your pedal, connect a power supply to its
power input socket. Alter Ego Delay requires a
9V power supply providing 100 mA or more (not
supplied). To minimize hum, use a power supply
with isolated outputs.
2. Audio inputs
The audio inputs of this pedal are standard ¼”
jacks (mono/TS).
– If your signal source is mono, connect it to the
M input jack on the right side of the pedal.
– If your signal source is stereo, connect the ca-
ble carrying the left signal component to the
M jack and the cable carrying the right signal
component to the S jack.
3. Audio outputs
The audio outputs of this pedal are standard ¼”
jacks (mono/TS).
– If the next device in the signal chain has a
mono input (e.g. your amp), connect the M
output jack of Alter Ego Delay to the other de-
vice’s input.
– If the next device in the signal chain has stereo
inputs (e.g. another stereo effect pedal), con-
nect the M output jack of Alter Ego Delay to
the left input and the S output jack to the right
input of the other device.
4. Footswitch
Effect on/off
Tap the footswitch to turn the pedal on or off, just
like with any other pedal on your board.
Audio tapping
Hold down the footswitch for Audio Tapping.
Of course, the delay time can be set using the
DELAY knob. However, for timing the delay re-
peats to the tempo of the song you are playing,
you can also tap in a the tempo via audio.
To set the tempo:
– Hold down the footswitch.
– With the footswitch held down, play steady
short 1/4 notes on your instrument.
! Please note that the output is always muted
during audio tapping.
– Release the switch again.
That’s it – you have now entered the global
tempo, and the delay repeats will play accord-
ing to the subdivision you have selected with
the subdivision switch. The options are: 1/4,
1/8. and 1/4+1/8.
