Instruccions de funcionament

The THE PROPHET DIGITAL DELAY pedal features intuitive controls for shaping your delay sound. Familiarize yourself with each control:

Controls:

• Botó HORA: Controls the delay time, determining the interval between repeats.
• Botó MIX: Adjusts the blend between your dry (unaffected) signal and the wet (delayed) signal. Turn clockwise for more delay effect.
• Repeticions Botó: Controls the number of delay repetitions (feedback). Higher settings result in more repeats.

• Experiment with high REPEATS settings and the TIME knob to create self-oscillating, experimental sounds.
