Mackie DL806 and DL1608 Reference Guide Delay Type Delay allows adjustment of the effect delay. The Master Fader app comes with five delays to choose from: mono, tape echo, stereo, ping-pong and multi-tap. A button displaying the current delay type may be tapped to reveal the other delay types. Tap the delay you would like for the selected channel. The image will change to reflect the delay type chosen. Delay Type Description Examples Mono The mono delay provides an echo effect with a mono delay line. Mono delay is great for added depth and space. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour is one of the kings of delay. Tape Echo Tape Echo provides a single, relatively rapid delay of the original signal, with the added warmth that vintage tape-based echo units provided. Often used on vocals for a 1950's-era feel, or on guitars for a surf-type tone. Stereo The stereo delay is a stereo version of the mono delay, with a left A guitarist with dual outputs and right input and a left and right output. Each side (left and (or A/B switcher) can create right) has its own set of controls). interesting stereo delays, setting each amp's delay times independent of the other one. Ping-Pong The ping pong delay works the same as the stereo delay, with the exception that the feedback is routed to the opposite channel, producing a bouncing sound as the delayed signal bounces from left to right. Similar to the stereo delay example, but instead of each delay being set independently of the other, this creates a steady ping-pong delay with varying speed. Multi-Tap This allows you to create two delays with different lengths. With added feedback, you can create very interesting effects on a guitar solo. 75
