SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 22
If trails mode is active, the ON/OFF LED will be lit green when the delay effect is active and lit red
when the delay effect is bypassed.
Trails Mode
Trails mode is an optional bypass mode that allows the repeats to fade out naturally even after the
delay has been bypassed.
Trails mode can be enabled from the Hardware Options menu in the Neuro App or using the
hardware by pressing the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH while holding the CONTROL INPUT BUTTON. This will toggle
between enabling and disabling trails mode and the setting will be saved automatically. Trails Mode
is a global setting and is NOT saved per preset. However, when using Trails Mode, both trails and
hardware bypass are always accessible:
If trails mode is active, tap the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH quickly to do a soft bypass (with trails) and press
and hold the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH for half a second to do a hard bypass (relay or buffer bypass). For
more information, see Universal Bypass

Tap Tempo Footswitch
Press the TAP FOOTSWITCH two or more times to input the delay time. The corresponding SUBDIVISION
toggle switch allows subdivisions to be selected:
• If the SUBDIVISION SWITCH is in the left position (quarter notes), the delay time will be equal to the
duration between taps on the TAP FOOTSWITCH.
• If the SUBDIVISION SWITCH is in the center position (dotted eighth notes), the delay time will be equal
to 3/4 the duration between taps on the TAP FOOTSWITCH. This allows the user to tap in quarter notes
and get a delay time that is a dotted eighth note relative to that duration.
• If the SUBDIVISION SWITCH is in the right position (triplets), the delay time will be equal to 1/3 the
duration between taps on the TAP FOOTSWITCH. This allows the user to tap in quarter notes and get a
delay time that is a triplet relative to that duration.
The SUBDIVISION SWITCH can also create subdivisions of the delay time together with the TIME KNOB. If a
certain delay time has been dialed in with the SUBDIVISION SWITCH in the quarter note position, you
can flip to the dotted eighth note position to multiply the delay time by 3/4, or flip to the triplet
position to multiply the delay time by 1/3.
Tempo LED
The TEMPO LED above the TAP FOOTSWITCH indicates the current tempo, blinking once per beat. It will
blink once per beat even if a tap subdivision is selected using the SUBDIVISION SWITCH; that is, the
TEMPO LED will always blink at the same rate as the user’s foot taps used to input the tempo.
Hold Mode
The HOLD function on the Nemesis will freeze the current contents of the delay line and continue to
circulate the audio infinitely while the HOLD function is engaged. To activate HOLD, press and hold
the TAP footswitch while the effect is engaged. When HOLD is activated, no new audio will be sent to
the delay effect. The dry signal will continue to pass through normally. While HOLD is active, the TAP
