Manteniment

• Keep the pedal clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the pedal to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not attempt to open the pedal casing or perform internal repairs. Refer to qualified service personnel for any issues.
• Always disconnect power before cleaning or moving the pedal.

Resolució de problemes

Sense so o senyal feble

• Comproveu totes les connexions dels cables (entrada, sortida, alimentació) per assegurar-vos que estiguin ben connectades.
• Verifiqueu que la font d'alimentació estigui connectada correctament i que proporcioni el volum especificattage (12 V CC).
• Ensure the "Mix Level" knob is not set to full dry (no effect) or full wet (no dry signal).
• Bypass the pedal to check if the issue is with the pedal itself or other components in your signal chain.

Unexpected Delay Behavior / Preset Issues

• If presets 1, 3, 5, or 7 exhibit unexpected shared delay times, this is due to a factory global tap tempo setting. To disable this and allow individual editing for these presets:
  • Select the affected preset (e.g., Preset 1).
  • Ensure the "Preset" button is illuminated.
  • Press and hold the "Type" button. Observe the "Preset" button for a quick flash (it will not rapidly blink, but briefly dim and re-illuminate).
  • Repeat this process for each of the global presets (1, 3, 5, 7) to enable independent control.
• If the display shows "8888" or other error codes, try power cycling the unit (unplug and re-plug the power supply). If the issue persists, contact TC Electronic support.
