The Axe-Fx has two different types of Delay blocks. The regular Delay is a basic delay with enhancements. The second is a complex Multi-Delay (separate How-to). The regular Delay has 5 modes:

▪ “Mono”: both inputs are summed and only the left delay line is used
 +
▪ “Stereo”: independent left and right delay times and feedback
 +
▪ “Ping-Pong”: criss-crosses the signal so that the echoes ping-pong left and right
 +
▪ “Dual”: allows full control over the delay block providing controls for all parameters
 +
▪ "Reverse”: mono reverse playback

The Ultra's Delay block has an additional mode: Looper (separate How-to).

Revision as of 19:36, 26 June 2011

The AFXII adds improvements to the Delay block: 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

Delay blocks now have a master feedback that goes to 200% for oscillating delay effects. Source

The tape delays model the preamp too. Source
