Multi Delay and/or Multitap Delay

Multitap Delay — available on the Axe-Fx III and FM3. Together with the Plex Delay block and Ten-Tap Delay block, it provides the (enhanced and expanded) functionality of the Multi Delay block from the previous hardware generation, in separate blocks. Confusingly, the Multitap Delay block is often referred to as: Multi Delay.

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. Here's a block for the Axe-Fx III
  • 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
