Kontrol:

• Tombol CAMPURAN: Adjusts the balance between the dry (unaffected) signal and the wet (effected) delay signal. Turning clockwise increases the delay effect's presence.
• REPEATS Knob: Controls the number of delay repetitions. From a single repeat to self-oscillation.
• Tombol EQ: Shapes the tone of the delay repeats, allowing for brighter or darker echoes.
• MOD RATE Knob: Determines the speed of the modulation effect (Chorus or Vibrato).
• Tombol MOD DEPTH: Mengontrol intensitas atau kedalaman efek modulasi.
• Tombol WAKTU: Sets the delay time, from short slap-back to long, ambient delays.
• Left Toggle Switch (Delay Mode): Selects between Analog, Reverse, and Digital delay types. Musical note symbols indicate notation intervals for tap tempo.
• Right Toggle Switch (Modulation Type): Selects between Chorus, Off (no modulation), and Vibrato.
• Sakelar Kaki Kiri: Engages or bypasses the delay effect.
• Sakelar Kaki Kanan: Typically used for Tap Tempo functionality, allowing you to set the delay time by tapping the switch.

5. Pengaturan

Follow these steps to integrate your Flight Delay Pedal into your audio setup:

1. Sambungan Daya: Connect a regulated 9V DC, center-negative power supply (not included) to the power input jack on the pedal. Ensure the power supply meets the specified requirements (85mA minimum).
2. Koneksi Masukan: Connect your instrument (e.g., guitar) or the output of a preceding effects pedal to the INPUT jack on the Flight Delay Pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
3. Koneksi Keluaran: Connect the OUTPUT jack of the Flight Delay Pedal to your amplifier's input or the input of the next effects pedal in your signal chain using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
4. Nyalakan: Once all connections are secure, connect your power supply to a wall outlet. The pedal is now ready for use.

6. Petunjuk Pengoperasian

6.1 Basic Delay Operation

• Melibatkan Efek: Press the left footswitch to toggle the delay effect on or off. The LED indicator will illuminate when the effect is active.
• Menyesuaikan Waktu Tunda: Gunakan WAKTU knob to set the duration between repeats. Rotate clockwise for longer delay times, counter-clockwise for shorter times.

6.2 Delay Modes

Gunakan left toggle switch to select one of three distinct delay modes:

• Analog: Emulates classic analog delays, providing warm, darker, and decaying repeats.
• Balik: Plays the delay repeats backward, creating unique textural effects.
• Digital: Offers clear, pristine, and accurate repeats, ideal for modern sounds.

6.3 Efek Modulasi

The Flight Delay Pedal includes built-in modulation. Use the right toggle switch to select the modulation type:

• Paduan suara: Adds a swirling, thickening effect to the delay repeats.
• Mati: Disables the modulation effect.
• Getaran: Introduces a pitch-bending effect to the delay repeats.

Sesuaikan MODRATE Dan KEDALAMAN MOD knobs to fine-tune the speed and intensity of the selected modulation effect.

6.4 Tap Tempo and Notation Intervals

The right footswitch typically functions as a Tap Tempo control. Tap it two or more times to set the delay time. The left toggle switch also features musical note symbols, indicating options for notation intervals (e.g., quarter notes, dotted eighth notes) when using tap tempo. Refer to the official JHS Pedals website or product page for specific tap tempo subdivision instructions.
