1. D ovidence CHRONO DELAY bLy 4 OWNER S MANUAL Thank you for choosing Providence In order to take full advantage of the product s features and performance please read this manual thoroughly and keep it in a safe place for future reference H Main Features Delay time is adjustable from 1 to 2700 milliseconds The current delay time is accurately shown on the 4 digit 7 segment LED display Delay time can be displayed in milliseconds mSec or beats per minute BPM The BPM display is not simply a rough estimate BPM delay times are displayed with metronome accuracy The delay time can be precisely set according to the tempo tapped on the TAP footswitch The A B preset memory allows two different delay times settings to be memorized and recalled via the footswitch as needed With the specified delay time as a quarter note reference seven delay time variations ranging from half notes to sixteenth note can be directly selected via the BEAT SPLIT selector Rhythm based delay time settings that previously required tedious calculations can now be made in an instant Both the VITALIZER that prevents degradation of the direct signal and the mixer that combines the direct signal with the delay signal are ana log circuits that have been designed and built to the highest possible sonic standards A momentary non latching type footswitch can be connected to the EXT TAP jack to allow remote tap delay operation When this function is use2. D indicator flashes at the current delay time tempo ON OFF LED Lights blue when the effect is ON Flashes when the A B preset memory registration mode is engaged 3A B TAP LED Lights red when the TAP mode is selected Lights green when preset memory A is selected Lights orange when preset memory B is selected INPUT Jack This is the input to the DLY 4 The output from a guitar or other source device electronic musical instrument or effect unit should be connected here OUTPUT Jack This is the output from the DLY 4 The OUTPUT jack should be connected to an amplifier a subsequent effect device or the return jack of the effect loop on an instrument or audio device When the effect is turned ON the delay sound is mixed with the direct sound and output via this jack EXT TAP Jack An external momentary non latching footswitch can be connected to this jack via a standard mono phone jack instrument cable When an appropriate footswitch is con nected the A B TAP toggle switch on the DLY 4 will become inactive the external footswitch can be used for TAP delay time entry while the A B TAP footswitch on the DLY 4 can be used to switch between the A and B preset memories DC12V INPUT The DC output cable from the supplied AC adaptor connects here HA B Preset Memory Operation Example Memorize a quarter note delay time of 120 BPM 500 mSec 1 Set the BEAT SPLIT selector to its 6 o clock posit

4. d the A B TAP footswitch on the CHRONO DELAY unit is dedicated to A B preset switching so that tap delay and A B preset switching operation are simultaneously available via separate footswitches The DLY 4 CHRONO DELAY features a simple interface that allows fast intuitive control About VITALIZER The VITALIZER circuit was developed to counteract the signal degradation that normally occurs in guitar and bass processing systems The characteristics of the VITALIZER circuit continuously adapt to the instrument s output ensuring that the instru ment s natural characteristics are transmitted without degradation or compromise Controls amp Functions refer to the panel illustration MIX Adjusts the amount of delay sound that is mixed with the direct sound ECHO HARDNESS Adjusts the level of the mid and high frequency components of the delay sound When feedback is applied via the FEED BACK control the mid and high frequen cies decay a little more with each repeat This makes it possible to create natural sounding echo effects as well as simulate the sound of tape echo or analog delay effects FEED BACK Adjusts the amount of delay signal fed back to the DLY 4 input Higher FEED BACK levels produce longer series of decaying repeats Turing the FEED BACK level up too high can result in oscillation TIME Sets the delay time Delay time can be adjusted in either 1 BPM Beats Per Minute or 1 mSec milliseco
