The Filter knob works in conjunction with the Grit knob to shape
the fidelity of the repeats. The brightest and cleanest repeats occur
when they are both set at the minimum position. NOTE: The below
descriptions are for the Digital, Dual, Pattern, Reverse, Ice, Duck,
Swell, Trem & Lo-Fi delay machines. To see how the Filter & Grit
knobs work for dBucket and dTape delay machines see their respective
sections.
GRIT: The intensity of the Grit control will depend
on the strength of the input signal. Hotter inputs will
intensify the effect of the Grit knob in all modes. The
volume of the wet signal may change as you increase
the Grit control (getting louder or softer depending
on the input signal strength). Use the MIX knob to
compensate accordingly.

FILTER: At minimum setting, the Filter Function
provides a flat full-bandwidth response. As you turn
the knob up, the repeats get progressively darker.
Around 12:00, the filter is voiced to give an analog
delay EQ curve. The darkest repeats occur with the
Filter knob between 12:00 and 2:00 in these machine
types. As you continue to turn the Filter Knob, the
low end is progressively reduced, and some highs are
added back in to create an EQ curve similar to that of
a Tape delay when the knob is at maximum position.

Delay Machines: Common Parameters
TAP DIVISION: Selects the subdivision to use for delay repeats when
tapping in a tempo. Tap division options include:
Quarter notes (default), Dotted Eighth notes, Eighth
notes, Triplets, Sixteenth notes.
NOTE: If TAPDIV is set to anything other than Quarter
notes, the TAP LED will blink in amber.
BOOST: +/- 3dB of boost/cut. This can be useful for level
matching in your effects chain, or can be used as an
effect such as boosting a solo with delay.
PERSIST: Turns on delay persist “trails” which will spill over
when the effect is bypassed. Use this if it is desired
for delay repeats to continue after the effect has been
bypassed. Note that if persist is set to ON, the bypass
mode will automatically be analog bypass.
All Delay Machines share a set of parameters. These parameters are
saved with each preset and include:

pg 10
NAME: Allows editing the 16 character name of the current
preset. Use the VALUE encoder to change the selected
character. Use the TYPE encoder to select a character.
Exit by pressing the VALUE encoder, then press and
hold the TYPE encoder to SAVE the name permanently.
NOTE: For the preset name to be displayed the NAMES
global must be set to ON or SCROLL.
EXPRESSION PEDAL ON/OFF: Enables or disables the expression
pedal input for each preset.
EXPRESSION PEDAL SET: Enters the expression pedal setup for each
preset. All knobs can be configured to be used with the
expression pedal. To set up which knobs are controlled
by the expression pedal, push the Value encoder
when it displays “EP SET” and it will then display
“HEEL”. Turn the knob(s) to the position desired at heel
down on the expression pedal. Then, turn the Value
encoder right to display”TOE” and set the knobs to
their desired values at the toe down position on the
expression pedal. An expression pedal can control all
of the knobs simultaneously.
TAP MODE: Adjusts how the last tapped tempo affects preset
changes. Set to PRESET so the delay time will change
to the saved value in the preset. Set to GLOBAL so
the delay time will remain at the last tapped tempo
regardless of what tempo is saved in the preset.
Delay Machines: Common Parameters Continued
MIDI CLOCK ON/OFF: When set to ON, TimeLine will respond
to external MIDI clock from the MIDI input. This
parameter is saved independently so that only presets
with this parameter set to ON will respond to MIDI
clock.

REPEAT DYNAMICS: Reduces the Repeats in a non-linear fashion so
that the delay tapers off faster than it normally would.
The effect is most easily heard with high Repeats
levels, allowing for high repeats that trail off to allow
the next phrase or chord to stand out more.
SMEAR: Softens the attack of the repeats while maintaining
full frequency response. This allows for higher mix
levels while keeping the delay out of the way of the
dry signal. With high Repeats levels, the delayed
signal gets dreamy and ethereal.

delays on low-note riffs or chords where you want to
reduce booming in your rig.
TIPS & TRICKS: The HIPASS parameter can be very effective in
producing bright repeats for a ‘super-clean’ digital delay. Set the
Filter and GRIT knobs to minimum position for full bandwidth and
experiment.
Set GRIT and FILTER knobs to 12:00 for an “analog-voiced” digital
delay, or try GRIT at minimum and FILTER at maximum for a “tape-
voiced” digital delay.

MIX 2: Adjusts the mix level of Delay 2. Set to TRACK to follow
Delay 1 Mix, set by the Mix knob. When not set to
TRACK, you can set an independent mix level for delay
2. In this case changing the Mix knob will only affect
the mix level for Delay 1.
TIME 2: Adjusts the delay time of Delay 2 relative to Delay
1. Since Delay 2 is a ratio of Delay 1, it adjusts with
changes in delay TIME or Tap Tempo to keep the same
ratio, and allows for cool rhythmic effects.
REPEATS 2: Adjusts the repeats level of Delay 2. Set to TRACK to
follow Delay 1 Repeats knob. When not set to TRACK,
you can set an independent repeat level for delay 2.
In this case changing the Repeats knob will only affect
the repeats level for Delay 1.

CONFIGURATION: Select from a series or parallel dual delay setup.
In series, Delay 1 feeds Delay 2, just as if you had
two independent stereo delays connected on your
pedalboard. In parallel configuration, the input signal
goes to Delay 1 and Delay 2 simultaneously, and the
output of the two delays are fed to the Left and Right
channels respectively (or summed to the Left channel
in Mono operation).
SERIES
PARA
TIPS & TRICKS: Set the CONFIG param to PARALLEL to get
independent Right and Left channel delay lines (the two parallel
delays will be summed to mono in mono operation - very useful for
rhythmic delays). This also allows for a ‘wet - dry’ stereo setup as
follows:
CONFIG param to PARALLEL ::: Turn the MIX knob to minimum
(dry) ::: Set RPT2 param to TRACK ::: Set TIME2 param to 1:1 :::
Set MIX2 param to set the level of the delays.
Now the knobs on the machine will control Delay2 (Right channel),
while Delay1 (Left channel) is dry only (since MIX knob is minimum).
The repeats will only be heard from the Right channel.

TIPS & TRICKS: The more intricate patterns can be most effective
when the input is simple or ‘sparse’.
Pattern 16 is a sort of ‘early reflection’ pattern. Experiment with
delay times around 200mS, lots of Repeats and the SMEAR param
at maximum to create reverb-like sounds. Add some MOD DEPTH
at lower MOD SPEED and play with the Filter and Grit knobs and
HIPASS param to dial in the ‘reverb’ tone.

with the FILTER, GRIT and MOD knobs.
To keep your dry signal feeding into the reverse delay while
effectively bypassed, assign an expression to control the MIX knob.
Assign the HEEL position to the MIX knob at minimum. Assign
the TOE position to the desired wet mix on the MIX knob. Rock the
expression pedal all the way back to bypass the delay. Rock the
pedal to the TOE position to hear reverse repeats that have already
been generating while the mix was at full dry.

can result in very deep and atmospheric delays with the Repeats
knob set for many repeats. The ICE signal appears to ‘float in’ as
the repeats regenerate. The MOD knobs can add much dimension to
these sounds as well.

A dynamic delay that reacts to your playing with adjustable sensitivity
and release time. As the sensitivity is increased, the ducking effect
becomes more pronounced.
SENSITIVITY: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the ducking feature.
Turn to higher settings for more extreme ducking. A
low level guitar signal will require higher settings to
achieve the same ducking effect as a high level guitar
signal. At low settings, subtle ducking effects can be
achieved.

PARAMETERS:
RELEASE TIME: Sets the release time for the ducking effect. This
determines how quickly the delay signal returns to
full level once you stop playing. A fast Release with
extreme ducking can create a dramatic special effect,
while slower releases with moderate ducking can be
transparent yet effective.

DUCKING FEEDBACK: Sets the feedback ducking parameter. When
on, the Repeats knob is effectively set to minimum
while you are playing, and then quickly returns to
the Knob setting when you stop playing. Very cool for
single line playing with extreme ducking, you can play
a ‘dry’ solo, and only the last note played will repeat.

HIGH PASS: Reduces the low frequency content of the wet signal
after the delay. A useful additional tone sculptor for
delays on low-note riffs or chords where you want to
reduce booming in your rig.

TIPS & TRICKS: With very slight amounts of ducking, the dynamics
of the delay are more ‘felt’ than ‘heard’. Set the SENS parameter
to just ever-so-slightly reduce the delay volume when you play
(most easily discovered with high REPEATS and MIX settings, and
RELEASE around 0.30). Then reduce the RELEASE param to 0.01,
while keeping the FEEDBK param at NORMAL. Now set the MIX and
REPEATS to your liking. The results can be addicting.
