About the Variation Mode
You can use the MODE SELECTOR knob to switch among the twelve Variation modes,
which offer different combinations of echo and reverb.
● : On
: The playback heads set with the tap delay times
REPEAT (MODE SELECTOR knob “1”–“4”) : Echo only
REVERB ECHO (MODE SELECTOR knob “5”–“11”) : Combined echo and reverb
REVERB ONLY (MODE SELECTOR knob “REVERB ONLY”) : Reverb only
About the Playback Heads
Relative to whatever the tap delay time is at playback head 1, the tap delay time at
playback head 2 is twice that, and the tap delay time at playback head 3 is three times
that.
Example: With the MODE SELECTOR knob set to the “11” position and the tap
delay time set to 0. 5 seconds
The setting is 0.5 seconds at playback head 1, 1 second at playback head 2, and 1.5
seconds at playback head 3.
* The maximum values that can be set for the tap delay time in Normal/Long mode and Variation mode
differ.
