Explore the Three Delay Modes
AM Mode
Bright, high-pass filtered delays with harmonic distortion and dual wow-and-flutter modulation. Echoes degrade gently like a fading AM radio signal, perfect for dreamy leads and washy atmospheres.
Murk Mode
Dark and dense with heavy distortion and low-frequency modulation, creating thick, undulating clouds of sound that respond dynamically to your playing. Ideal for brooding melodies and lo-fi textures.
Echo Mode
Analogue-inspired multi-tap delay that delivers rhythmic, cascading echoes. At short times it creates ambient washes; at longer times it forms hypnotic, syncopated patterns to enhance your groove.
Simple, Precise Control
Adjust your sound with three sliders:
- Time controls delay intervals up to one second
- Feedback sets the number of repeats
- Mix balances delay effect and clean signal
Switch between modes with a three-way toggle, and engage tap tempo by holding the bypass switch until the LED flashes. Select your preferred rhythmic subdivision to tailor timing to your playing style.
Frequently Asked Questions
➤ What delay time does the Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay offer?
The pedal offers up to one second of delay time, adjustable via the Time slider for precise control of delay intervals.
➤ How does tap tempo work on this pedal?
Tap tempo is engaged by holding the bypass footswitch until the LED starts flashing. You can then tap the footswitch to set delay time rhythm in quarter, dotted eighth or eighth note divisions. Hold the switch again to exit tap tempo mode.
➤ What are the differences between the AM, Murk and Echo modes?
AM provides bright, modulated echoes reminiscent of a fading radio signal. Murk delivers dark, heavily distorted, and modulated delay repeats. Echo mode offers analogue-style multi-tap delays for rhythmic or ambient textures.
➤ Can I adjust how delay echoes behave when the pedal is bypassed?
Yes, through Trails Mode. When active, delay repeats fade naturally when bypassing. When off, repeats stop immediately. You can toggle trails mode by holding the bypass switch while powering on.
➤ Is the Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. This pedal’s simplified controls and three clearly defined modes are designed to be approachable for new users while providing professional-quality tones for experienced players.
