EQ

There's a two-band parametric EQ for the wet signal with low-cut and high-cut with adjustable slopes for the cut filters. The EQ stuff is on a separate GUI page with a graphical display. Source

Oscillating

The Master feedback goes to 200% for oscillating delay effects. Source

Tape delay

The tape delays model the preamp too. Source

Effect on delay trails only

To add an effect to the delay trails only, not the direct tone, place the delay in a parallel row and add the effect after it.

Auto Delay

When this Tempo parameter is set to “ON,” any delay blocks that are bypassed will become active whenever a tempo is tapped in. This allows you to set the tempo and un-bypass your delay block(s) from a single footswitch. See Tempo.

Muting the delay with trails fading out

By attaching an external controller (connected to a pedal or switch) to Input Gain, you're controlling the delay level at the input stage. This will make delay trails fade out nicely when muting the delay.

Spillover

See Spillover of reverb/delay

Maintaining unity gain

When using Mix to control the volume level of the delay, the volume level of the dry signal is affected also. In other words, when turning up the delay level, the dry signal's level decreases. To deal with this: turn up Mix to 50% and set Level to +6dB. Or put the Delay in a parallel row, see [[1]].

CPU utilization

The Tape and Ambient delay types require more CPU cycles than the other types.

Other comments

Matman: "Axe-Fx II leaves the Ultra in the dust for delay flexibility. ALL your sounds are in here. Bit reduction. 4-band parametric EQ in the loop Hi and Low Cut... 12/24/48 db slope... Q control. 2 mid bands with selectable Q, gain, freq. HOLD switch. Master feedback goes over 100%. 60+ different tempo settings. Better TIME parameter resolution. Plus all the original flexibility of the Ultra/Standard." Source
