Instrucciones de funcionamiento

The THE PROPHET DIGITAL DELAY pedal features intuitive controls for shaping your delay sound. Familiarize yourself with each control:

Controles:

• Perilla de TIEMPO: Controls the delay time, determining the interval between repeats.
• Perilla de mezcla: Adjusts the blend between your dry (unaffected) signal and the wet (delayed) signal. Turn clockwise for more delay effect.
• Perilla REPEATS: Controls the number of delay repetitions (feedback). Higher settings result in more repeats.
• SUBDIVISION Switch: A three-way toggle switch that selects the delay subdivision:
  • 1/16: Sixteenth note delay.
  • 1/8: Eighth note delay.
  • 3/8: Dotted eighth note delay.
• INTERRUPTOR DE PIE: Engages or bypasses the effect. This pedal features True Bypass for preserving your guitar's tone when the effect is off.

Consejos de uso:

• For subtle ambiance, set the MIX knob to a lower position and REPEATS to a moderate level.
• To achieve rhythmic delays, synchronize the TIME knob and SUBDIVISION switch with the tempo of your music.
• Experiment with high REPEATS settings and the TIME knob to create self-oscillating, experimental sounds.
