ERASING A LOOP
1. To erase a loop, playback must be completely stopped. See STOPPING
LOOP PLAYBACK on page 24.
2. Press and hold the TAP/LOOP footswitch for 2.5 seconds to erase the
current loop. The REC LED blinks rapidly for half a second just prior
to completing loop erase.
3. The MEM LED shuts off, indicating that the loop is erased.
4. Note: the Erase function is final and cannot be undone. Erase is only
available when a loop is in memory, as indicated by a lit MEM LED.
SWITCHING BETWEEN LOOPER AND DELAY+LOOPER
1. Loop playback continues even when the Mode switch is pressed to
switch the Grand Canyon into Delay mode or Delay+Looper mode.
2. If you are overdubbing in Delay+Looper mode, overdubbing will
continue after switching to Looper mode.
3. If you are overdubbing in Looper mode, switching to Delay mode will
stop overdubbing, but loop playback will continue.
4. If you are overdubbing in Looper mode and want to continue
overdubbing in Delay+Looper, quickly double-click the Mode button
to switch to Delay+Looper mode.
LOOP MEMORY
1. Any recorded audio is stored automatically to the Grand Canyon’s
internal memory. A lit MEM LED indicates a loop is in memory.
2. The recorded loop will remain in memory until it is erased. Power
cycling does not erase the saved loop unless power is cut while
recording the loop. Any loop or overdub that was being recorded at
the time of power loss will not be saved by the Grand Canyon.
LOOP SPEED AND REVERSE FUNCTIONS
1. To adjust the loop playback speed or direction, a loop must first be
recorded. See the RECORDING A LOOP section on page 24.
2. Loops will always be recorded at normal speed, in the forward
direction. If the REVERSE and/or SPEED knobs are moved before or
during loop recording, the loop will play back according to the position
of these knobs once recording is finished.
3. The LOOPER LED will blink when the loop knobs have been moved
from normal speed and forward direction. If the knobs are turned back
to the normal position, the LED will stop blinking.
4. The REVERSE and SPEED knobs may be turned during playback or
overdubbing in order to create time-bending loop effects.
