CREATING A LOOP
1. To create a loop, the LOOPER LED in the center of the Grand Canyon
must be lit.
2. To cycle through the three modes – Delay, Delay+Looper and Looper
– press the small white Mode button within the DELAY/LOOPER group.
3. If you want to record a loop with the Grand Canyon’s internal delay
effects, make sure both the DELAY and LOOPER LEDs are lit.
4. If you want to record a loop without the Grand Canyon’s effects, only
the LOOPER LED should be lit.
5. To record your loop, press and release the TAP/LOOP FSW. The Grand
Canyon begins recording immediately.
6. When you are ready to end loop recording, press the TAP/LOOP FSW
again. The loop will begin playing back. The MEM and PLAY LEDs will
now be lit.
7. To overdub over the loop, press the TAP/LOOP FSW while it is playing;
the REC LED will light.
8. To stop loop playback double-tap the TAP/LOOP FSW. You may also
stop by pressing the BYPASS/STOP FSW while in LOOPER only mode.
ADJUSTING LOOP PARAMETERS
1. Once a loop is recorded you can change loop parameters. Make sure
you are in Looper mode; the DELAY LED should be off.
2. While in Looper mode, the white knob functions are detailed by the
second row of orange lettering. The following controls are active:
 DRY CUT - sets the volume of your dry signal
 LOOP LVL - sets the volume of loop playback
 DUB LVL - sets how much of previously recorded loop audio
is preserved when overdubbing
 FADEOUT - sets how long it takes for a loop to fade out when
playback is stopped
3. The mini knobs on the right side of the Grand Canyon control the
direction and speed of the looper’s playback. You may overdub in any
speed or direction.
