CB TAP
MANUAL

OVERVIEW
The CB Tap is our external tap tempo mechanism that was
built to connect to our Belle Epoch Deluxe. The CB Tap not
only adds tap functionality to the Belle Epoch Deluxe, but also
connects to anything with a tap-tempo out (excluding Boss
pedals and other non normally-open taps).
The CB Tap comes with a Catalinbread-branded six-inch 1/4”
TRS patch cable to connect it to whichever pedal you decide
to use.
To use the CB Tap with the Belle Epoch Deluxe: Plug one end
of the 1/4” TRS cable into the expression output of the Deluxe
and the other end into the “DLX” input of the CB Tap, then
start tapping and the LED indicator will follow along.
To use the CB Tap with another pedal: Plug one end of the
1/4” TRS cable into any non-Boss pedal’s tap out and plug the
other end into the “Tap” input of the CB Tap, then start
tapping. The LED indicator will not light up when using
non-Deluxe pedals.
One caveat to note is that the CB Tap will not tap anything
outside of the Belle Epoch Deluxe’s delay range. For example,
it will not tap slower than 800ms.

CONTROLS
DLX: This is where you plug a 1/4” TRS
cable when connecting to the Belle
Epoch Deluxe. The other end of the TRS
cable goes into the expression output of
the Belle Epoch Deluxe.
TAP: This is where you plug a 1/4” TRS
cable when connecting to non-Belle
Epoch Deluxe pedals. They must be
pedals expecting a normally-open tap
tempo device (check your manual). The
CB Tap will not work with Boss pedals,
for example. Please also note that the
LED indicator will not illuminate when
using the CB Tap with non-Belle Epoch
Deluxe pedals.
