All broad strokes drama! The delay is actually a triple-tap delay, each ‘tap’ specifically timed - together to give exciting echo chaos!... The Recycle Box is not a shy pedal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecycling the Break Box enclosure meant we were constricted to that same number of controls we had before. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are the usual three distortion section knobs, then two delay controls. Usually a delay has three; ‘Amount’, ‘Time’, and ‘Feedback’…. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhich one to do without then? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe decided that feedback and delay time were the most important, so there’s no ‘amount’ knob here. On the Recycle Box this is fixed to ‘LOTS of echo’ - in line with the maximum attitude of this edgy pedal!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONTROLS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVol; This knob adjusts the overall volume of the pedal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTone; This knob adjusts the overall tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGain; This knob adjusts the gain of the distortion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeedback; This large knob controls the amount of echo repeats when the echo is in use, going from three single multi-tap repeats up to runaway wild feedback. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTime; This changes the length of the delay - up to a 770ms maximum repeat length.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePAD FLIP; This pushbutton switch on the top end panel inverts the function of the big PAD - changing it from dry distortion with momentary delayed distortion, to delayed distortion with no delay when the PAD is pressed - so you can latch the delay on if you want.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe PAD; Use this non-latching switch to change the program from dry distortion, to echo distortion (or vice versa).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMain footswitch; This turns the pedal on and off.
