Colortone Pedals | Lo-Fi Delay | Independent Dual Channel Delay
or 4x fortnight payments of $98.75 AUD with ⓘ
Enter the realm of sonic exploration with Colortones LO-FI DELAY. Featuring three distinct delay voicings, the LO-FI DELAY is a grainy lo-fi, old-school analog tape sounding dubb style delay engine with momentary oscillation feedback and speed switching options.
At its core the LO-FI DELAY is a tempo syncronized dual channel delay with each channel having independent Regen and Time controls.
Controls include Delay Time, Regen, Feedback, Mix and a ‘Splash’ footswitch to momentarily send the delay into a predetermined amount of regenerative feedback and or Tempo Change.
The SPLASH footswitch also acts as a Tap Tempo control requiring at least 4 quick taps to calculate a new tempo. CONTROLS
Wet | Dry Switch
Wet Mode acts like a normal delay where the delayed repeats can be mixed against the Dry Signal with the decay time set by the Regen knob. When the SPLASH Footswitch is momentarily pressed the decay time switches to the Regen+ knob setting allowing for more or less regenerative delays while the footswitch is pressed.
Dry Mode is designed for running in a quite mode and only activating the delay while the SPLASH footswitch is held down. Great for adding dub style accents to certain stabs / phrases or adding splashes of ambient delay or moments of crazy feedback to an otherwise Dry signal.
Hi-Fi | Lo-Fi Switch
Hi-FI mode has a crisp hi-fidelity non-destructive repeated delay.
The centre and down positions are Lo-Fi modes where the resulting delay repeats are a little darker like a tape delay with a slight hint of mechanical tape warble. The Centre position uses a Lowpass filter in the delay feedback line where as the Down position uses a HighPass filter.
Division Knob
The Div knob sets the alternative delay speed when Splash is pressed while in Wet Mode. At 3 O'Clock Repeats are at Unity 1:1. Turning anticlockwise the repeats are Multiplied (Faster) in by either x2 or x3. Turning Clockwise from unity the repeats are divided (slower) by either 2 or 3.
