TAP TEMPO ON THE GRAND CANYON
The Grand Canyon’s delay time can be set with tap tempo using a built-in
footswitch or by using an external momentary switch. With either method,
you can achieve nine different delay times all in time with your tap tempo
using the TAP DIV button. Pressing TAP DIV cycles through the nine
subdivision options, each indicated by a combination of LEDs. When TAP
DIV is in use, the currently selected TAP DIV LED(s) blink at a rate equal
to the current delay time.
USING THE INTERNAL TAP/LOOP FOOTSWITCH
1. The Grand Canyon must be set to DELAY mode for the TAP/LOOP
footswitch to act as a tap tempo button.
2. Press and release the Grand Canyon’s TAP/LOOP footswitch at least
two times at a steady tempo.
3. The delay time will be set to your tapping speed, divided by the
current tap divide setting.
4. The TAP DIV setting can be changed after tapping in the delay time
to access different delay times.
5. The currently selected TAP DIV LED(s) blink at the rate of the current
delay time.
USING THE BYPASS/STOP FOOTSWITCH
1. When the Grand Canyon is set to Delay+Looper mode, the
BYPASS/STOP footswitch can act as a tap tempo button, in addition
to its normal bypass switching function.
2. Press and release the BYPASS/STOP footswitch at least two times at
a steady tempo.
Tip: When you tap the internal footswitch, the Grand
Canyon will enter/exit bypass. If you don’t want echoes to stop while
setting tap tempo, make sure the TAILS button is set to ON, or use
an external footswitch.
3. The delay time will be set to your tapping speed, divided by the
current tap divide setting.
4. The currently selected TAP DIV LED(s) blink at the rate of the current
delay time.
