• DELAY-nuppi: Sets the delay time. This knob works in conjunction with the Tap Tempo function.
• SPEED-nuppi: Adjusts the speed of the modulation effect when the MOD switch is engaged.
• WIDTH-nuppi: Adjusts the intensity or depth of the modulation effect when the MOD switch is engaged.
• BRIGHT Switch: Toggles between the classic dark analog delay tone and a brighter, more articulate delay tone.
• TAP DIV Switch & Display: Selects the tap tempo subdivision (dotted 8ths, 8ths, triplets, 16ths). The display indicates the current subdivision.
• MOD-kytkin: Engages or disengages the modulation effect on the delay repeats.
• TAP-BEAT Footswitch: Used to tap in the desired delay tempo. Can also be used to cycle through presets.
• EFFECT Footswitch: Engages or bypasses the delay effect.

   • Line Level/Instrument Level Switch: Located inside the pedal. Set to "Instrument" for typical guitar setups (in front of amp) or "Line" for effects loops or studio use.
   • Dry Kill Switch: Also located inside. Engage for a "wet only" signal, useful for parallel effects loops or re-amping in a studio environment.

5. Polkimen käyttö

5.1. Basic Delay Operation

• Engage the effect by pressing the VAIKUTUS footswitch. The blue LED will illuminate.
• Säädä MIX knob to set the balance between your dry signal and the delay repeats.
• Käytä REGEN knob to control the number of repeats. Lower settings result in fewer repeats, while higher settings can lead to self-oscillation.
• The VIIVE knob sets the initial delay time.
• Vaihda KIRKAS switch to select between the darker, warmer original Carbon Copy tone and a brighter, more pronounced delay.

5.2. Tap Tempo Functionality

• To set the delay tempo, tap the TAP-BEAT footswitch two or more times in rhythm. The delay time will synchronize with your taps.
• Käytä NAPAUTA JAKO switch to select the desired subdivision for your tapped tempo. The LED display will show the selected subdivision (e.g., a single dot for 8ths, two dots for dotted 8ths, etc.).

5.3. Modulation Effects

• Engage the modulation by pressing the MOD switch. The blue LED next to the switch will illuminate.
• Säädä NOPEUS knob to control how fast the modulation oscillates.
• Säädä LEVEYS knob to control the depth or intensity of the modulation.

5.4. Presets and Expression Pedal

• The Carbon Copy Deluxe features programmable presets. Consult the full manual for detailed instructions on saving and recalling your custom settings.
• An expression pedal connected to the EXP jack can be assigned to control various parameters in real-time, such as delay time, mix, or modulation speed.

6. Huolto

• Puhdistus: Puhdista polkimen ulkopinta pehmeällä, kuivalla liinalla. Vältä hankaavia puhdistusaineita tai liuottimia.
• Varastointi: Säilytä poljinta viileässä, kuivassa paikassa, poissa suorasta auringonvalosta ja äärimmäisistä lämpötiloista, kun sitä ei käytetä.
• Akun vaihto: If using battery power, replace the 9-volt battery when the pedal's performance degrades or the power LED dims. To replace, remove the bottom plate screws.
• Kaapelihuolto: Ensure all audio and power cables are in good condition to prevent signal loss or damage.
