More information in the Owner's Manuals.

In the current generation devices, the Multitap Delay block, Plex Delay block and Ten-Tap Delay block provide the (enhanced and expanded) functionality of the Multi Delay block. Confusingly, the Multitap Delay block is often referred to as: Multi Delay.

Tips, tricks and troubleshooting

• Apply High Cut if you want the Multi Delay to not interfere with the dry signal.
• If you need a specific number of repeats, use Band Delay or Tap Ten Delay.
• In Plex Shift Mode, adjusting Shift will affect pitch, tempo and the number of repeats. This is not a bug.
• 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
