PRE-DELAY (green LED): Sets the initial time before the reverb
begins. Pre-delay times vary between
0 and .5 seconds.
In
ECHO mode delay times vary between 0 and 2.5 seconds. Pre-
delay is excellent for creating slapback effects. It will also create
the illusion of playing in a larger space (the longer it takes to
hear the first echo, the further away the walls would be). Long
pre-delay times may seem excessive, but can work well in a
band or mix context.
Tip: Use pre-delay to add clarity. If the reverb begins too soon
after a note is played, it tends to clutter the perception of the
sound. Delaying the reverb makes it much easier to hear the dry
signal without sacrificing any of the reverb signal. Also, try using
pre-delay with a very short reverb time for an interesting and
non-traditional effect. This combination creates a single, heavily
processed echo.
Tip: If the pre-delay knob is moved while audio is running
through the effect, a Doppler shift will be heard. Assigning an
expression pedal or Hot Hand to the Pre-Delay knob (See the
Control Assign section) is a great way to create some extremely
far-out effects.
