Tips and tricks
- 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. source
- Use Plex Shift to create the "shimmer" effect.
- Multi Delay doesn't support spillover between presets. Here's a block for the Axe-Fx III
- Multi Delay features a "true" Mono Tape Echo mode.
- Effects wizard Simeon provides a load of magnificent delay effects: Simeon's effects
"Filters are defeated if Master Q is 0.1. Turn up the Master Q." source
