Tips and tricks

• Apply High Cut if you want the Multi Delay to not interfere with the dry signal.

• In Plex Shift Mode, adjusting Shift will affect pitch, tempo and the number of repeats. This is not a bug. source
• Use Plex Shift to create the "shimmer" effect.
• Multi Delay doesn't support spillover between presets.
• Multi Delay features a "true" Mono Tape Echo mode.
• Effects wizard Simeon provides a load of magnificent delay effects: Simeon's effects
