The Dynamic Delay uses input level to switch the Regen amount between its preset value and 0.

DELAY PARAMETERS:
Delay: Changes the delay time in ± 1 millisecond steps. The total amount of delay is 1.25 seconds in all routings
except Stereo, which has up to 2.75 seconds of delay. In the Ambient class, this parameter sets the
distance of the microphones to the simulated speaker cabinet. This control is set in feet and its range is
based on the Size setting.
Size: Changes the delay time in ± 50 millisecond steps. In the Ambient class, this parameter sets the size of the
simulated speaker cabinet, from 2 to 112 feet in Stereo routing and 2 to 52 feet in all other routings.
Regen: Sets the amount of delay feedback, from -99% to +100%. Negative numbers correspond to inverted
feedback.
Decay: In the Vocal class, this control sets the fade time of the effect after it
has been dynamically triggered. In the Dynamic class, Decay sets the
time that it takes the Regen parameter to switch between the preset
amount and a value of 0, depending on audio level. A graph of this
control’s action is on page 66.
Shape: This parameter sets the spacing, or shape, of the delay taps. (See the
Shape Control table.) Discrete 4 (mono) routing uses the first 9 shapes
only.
In the Ambient class, this parameter sets
the horizontal and vertical positioning of
the “microphones” in front of the simulated
speaker cabinet. See the Ambient Delay
Shape Control diagram. With values
between 0 and 8, both mics follow the shape of the graph. With values
between 9 and 17, both mics follow the same shape, but each one is isolated from the opposite speaker. In
