Special features of the Time Machine:
Dual mode delay.
The Time Machine is like having two delays in one—Modern and Vintage. Both
delays are quickly accessible via footswitch. The Modern delay is a full-range, crystal
clean delay suitable for virtually any style of music. The Vintage delay adds a subtle
modulation effect and a saturation circuit to simulate the characteristics of vintage
tape delays.
Analog-Style Saturation circuit.
Based on the tone and response of a sought-after vintage delay unit, this asymmetri-
cal saturation circuit gives the Vintage mode its classic warmth.
Hi-Fi and Lo-Fi switch.
This is another very useful feature designed exactly to Joe’s specifications. In Hi-Fi
mode, no EQ is applied, and the delay sounds are produced purely as they were orig-
inally voiced. In Lo-Fi mode, high pass and low pass filter EQ is applied to the delay
signal, in both Modern and Vintage mode. These EQ points are the exact settings Joe
uses in the studio and on stage to create huge guitar tones with delay that sit perfectly
in the mix. Think of this switch as your instant access to a professional mixing engi-
neer!
•Tap Tempo
Tap your desired delay time into the Time Machine with the Tap foot switch. The Tap
switch also doubles as a mode select switch to allow you to change between Modern
and Vintage delays.
