FUNCTION AND OPERATION
2. Engage & Bypass
When you first plug the power in, BIAS Delay pedal will be in Bypass Mode , meaning that the
input signal will be passed through the pedal without any modification from the presets’
processing. There are two different bypass types for BIAS Delay:
A. Buffer Bypass (System default) - - The signal will go through the buffer circuit and generate
a lower-impedance output signal. This allows the output signal to go through a much longer
cable without compromising high frequencies. In addition, Buffer Bypass can prevent the
common ‘pop’ noise you’d otherwise hear when engaging or disengaging a preset.
Hold down footswitch B and plug in the power to switch to Buffer Bypass mode.
B. True Bypass - This creates a short circuit between input and output to keep the bypassed
signal untouched as a high-impedance output signal. If you are using a cable longer than 18.5
feet while using this bypass mode, you might get volume loss in the high frequencies.
Hold down footswitch A and plug in the power to switch to True Bypass mode.
1. Mono & Stereo
BIAS Delay comes with stereo inputs and outputs. With mono input (plugging into the left
channel only), BIAS Delay will duplicate the input signal on both channels so you can still get
stereo signal at BIAS Delay’s outputs. This is necessary in order to hear some of BIAS Delay’s
stereo effects properly. For example, the Ping Pong preset needs stereo outputs to produce its
alternating left and right panning effect.
If you also plug into the pedal’s right input, BIAS Delay will switch to stereo mode and process
left and right channels independently.
3. Save Preset
Once the preset is on, you can tweak any of the knobs on the control panel to modify its
sound. The preset LED will start to blink when you move a knob, indicating that the parameter
has changed.
1. hold the preset knob
2. LED stop blinking
Preset ON 1. tweak of the knob
2. LED start to blink
To save the parameter changes, hold the Preset knob until
the LED stops blinking.
To dismiss the changes, switch to another preset or switch
back to Bypass Mode.
To engage a preset, press one of the A/B/C footswitches to turn on the effect. Press the same
footswitch again to switch back to bypass mode, or press another footswitch to switch to
another preset.
