As the pages describe, these models were created as the result of our in-depth studies of a dream collection of classic delay stomp boxes and rack units. We've included some historical information, as well as a sample setting for each model, to let you know how each of the units we studied made its mark on the world of guitar tone, and earned a spot on our modeling "hit list. " The models of your Delay Modeler are designed to capture the sonic spirit of these classics, and bring it to you with the powerful new advantages of programmability and versatility ­ and 2. 5 seconds of delay time!Alternate Bypass for Delay Trail Remain The Stomp Box Modelers include mechanically switching relays that route your signal directly from input jack to output jack and around all circuitry while in bypass. [. . . ] You might want to turn the lights down low for this next bit. We're going to record a new loop that highlights the opportunities for sonic experimentation that your new Loop Sampler provides: From Stop, tap the 1/2 SPEED/REVERSE switch once to light it and "arm" half speed. Set DELAY TIME, REPEATS, and TWEEZ to 12 o'clock. Mute the strings of your guitar with your left hand, and begin tapping a rhythm quickly on your low strings with your right index finger. Hit RECORD/OVERDUB to record some of this, then hit PLAY/STOP to finish the recording and start playback. Tap 1/2 SPEED/REVERSE to turn off half speed ­ the loop now plays back at twice the speed. Tap RECORD/OVERDUB while the loop plays and start overdubbing. Drag your pick on the low E string, immediately followed by a note with a strong attack and some sustain. Tap RECORD/OVERDUB (stops the overdub and keeps the loop playing) and then double-tap 1/2 SPEED/REVERSE. Freak out. 19 DL4 Delay Modeler This image is provided for the sole purpose of identifying the specific product that was studied during Line 6's sound model development, and does not imply any cooperation or endorsement. DL4 Delay Modeler Tube Echo ­ based on Maestro EP-1. The classic 1963 Maestro EP-1 was the first of a series of "Echoplex" designs distributed by the company, and made by Harris-Teller in Chicago. As touted in a Maestro advertisement, the Echoplex's ". . . special effects range all the way from a controlled high speed reverberation to a full, throbbing echo"!The main feature of the Echoplex design is a special cartridge of looped 1/4" tape that wraps past separate record and playback heads. The position of the playback head can be moved to adjust the delay time from 60 to 650 milliseconds. Your Stomp Box Modeler's Tube Echo emulates the classic Echoplex tone with the extra advantage of up to 2. 5 seconds of delay time.

Starting with the basic tone of our EP-1 tape delay emulation, we added a sweeping filter effect to the delay repeats to give you unique new creative possibilities for adjusting the tone of your delays. In technical terms, the TWEAK and TWEEZ knobs adjust the speed and depth of a sine wave used to modulate the tone of the tape emulation. You can use these controls to create and explore your own shifting landscape of tonal possibilities. Grab a hold of your guitar and your Stomp Box Modeler's knobs and see where you end up. With the optional Line 6 expression pedal, you can set things up so that the pedal takes you from no modulation (TWEEZ at its minimum value) at the heel-down position to swimming modulation when you pedal forward, so you can bring out the Sweep part of the Sweep Echo for your big solo.

DL4 Delay Modeler Analog Echo ­ based on the Boss DM-2. Analog echo units like the DM-2 were designed as improvements over the tape echoes that came before them, using "bucket brigade" electronics to give guitarists echo units that were more reliable than the tape-based delays, with the added advantage of a low power circuit that can be run on batteries. [. . . ] TWEEZ adjusts stereo spread (at minimum, signal is mono). 30 Reverse. !seltaeB eht dna xirdneH imiJ ekil tsuJ ­ Take a step back in time with your cool new reverse delay. Whatever you play in comes back at you backwards, delayed by the time you set with the DELAY TIME knob (1. 25 seconds max). To use this little wonder most effectively, try playing a legato lick, ignoring the reverse playback as well as you can. [. . . ]
