Thank you for purchasing the Mirror Image

Delay—a versatile, easy-to-use and richly

featured digital delay. It delivers six high-quality

delay models—including tape, analog and

digital—plus three additional variations. It has

advanced features such as a Dry Kill switch for

use with ampliﬁers with parallel effects loops,

and a dotted-eighth function in which an

additional dotted-eighth-note delay can be

added to the main delay. The Mirror Image also

offers buffered bypass operation, in which the

footswitch allows delay tails to fade out naturally

when the pedal is turned off.

MIRROR IMAGE DELAY

Time

This control adjusts delay time within the limits of the Delay Type

selected (each selection may vary—see “Algorithm Descriptions”

section). Lower settings produce short, metallic sounds akin to room

reverb, slapback delay and other small-dimension effects. Longer

echo settings are great for volume swells, ambient playing and

sound-on-sound experiments. Most fundamental sounds for lead and

rhythm playing—and for adding interesting rhythmic and spatial

effects—are toward the middle.

Note that there’s a delay “smear” as the Delay Time control knob is

turned. This is normal and is due to the delay time changing.

Level

This control adjusts how much delay is mixed with the dry signal. No

delay is present in the fully counterclockwise position. In the fully

clockwise position, the wet-dry mix is about 50/50. When Dry Kill is

active and this control is fully counterclockwise, no output is

produced. This is normal.

Feedback

This control adjusts the amount of delay fed back to the input from the

output, and it affects the number of repeats (this has sometimes been

called “regeneration” or “feedback”). The fully counterclockwise

position provides a single delay repeat (or two if the Dotted Eighth

switch is on); turning it up provides additional repeats.

Depth

This control works with the Rate control and provides pitch

modulation. Turning the Depth control fully counterclockwise turns the

modulation off, leaving an unaffected delay signal. Turning it fully

clockwise maxes out the pitch change. Note that the Rate and Depth

are coupled such that when Rate is set to maximum, Depth is reduced

to compensate; otherwise, there could be too much pitch shifting. To

add modulation, start with this control set at noon and adjust up or

down to preference. The “Doubler” (Digital Type, Variation 2) has a

different function for this knob—Delay Randomness

Rate

For most of the Delay Types, this control affects modulation speed.

Varying the delay time in this way can yield chorus, ﬂange or

detuning effects that impart a wider spatial sound.

Dotted 1/8 Switch

The dotted-eighth note switch adds an additional delay signal in

which the new delay time is set to roughly 75 percent that of the main

delay. For example, if the Delay Time is set to half a second (500

milliseconds), one delay tap will sound after a half second while the

additional delay will sound at three-eighths of a second (0.75*500 =

375 milliseconds). This provides a dotted-eighth-plus-quarter note

rhythm, which is great for playing against quarter notes. This setting is

also useful for adding more dimension to short echoes, and it adds an

additional voice to the “Doubler” setting (Digital Type, Variation 2).

Type Switch

This switch selects Digital, Analog and Tape algorithms (see

“Algorithm Descriptions” section).

Variation Switch

This switch toggles between two variations for each reverb type

selection (see “Algorithm Descriptions” section).

Jewel Indicator

The Jewel Indicator shows when the delay is active.

Footswitch

The footswitch mutes the input to the delay engine. When turned off, it

lets delay tails fade out naturally.

Input Jack

This is a high-impedance input suitable for electric guitar, bass,

acoustic guitar with a pickup system, keyboards and other instruments.

Output Jack

This is a low-impedance output jack that connects to the amp or to the

next effect pedal in the signal chain.

DC Power Connector

This is a standard center-negative 9VDC jack for use with appropriate

power supplies.

Dry Kill Switch

The Dry Kill switch removes the original dry guitar signal from the

output, leaving only the wet delayed signal. With parallel effects

loops in a guitar ampliﬁer, the idea is to always keep the original

guitar signal in the amp and use the effects loop only for the wet

signal. For normal use on a pedalboard, leave this switch off.

LED Kill Switch

This switch extinguishes the LEDs that illuminate the knobs—useful in

maximizing battery life when running the pedal from batteries.

Low Battery Indicator

This red LED on the front of the battery door illuminates when battery

voltage drops below a set threshold, indicating that the battery should

be replaced soon.

Algorithm Descriptions

Digital, Variation 1.

A straightforward digital delay with triangle wave modulation and no

ﬁltering. The triangle wave produces a very smooth modulation that

almost sounds like detuning instead of chorus. Delay time range: 20

milliseconds to about 0.9 seconds.

Digital, Variation 2.

This is a “Doubler” algorithm—an automatic double-tracking effect. It

uses random timing and pitch variations to mimic the sound of multiple

guitar tracks. It also tracks playing and makes larger adjustments to

the timing and pitch between notes.

Use the Dotted Eighth switch to get one extra track (doubling when

combined with dry signal) or two extra tracks (tripling). Adjust the Mix

knob for the amount of doubling effect preferred; at 100 percent it

approximates the “tracks” being equal volume. Note that as Mix is

increased, sound may lose some focus.

Analog, Variation 1.

Emulates an old-school “bucket brigade” analog delay in all its lo-ﬁ

glory—a little grit, a little noise and a lack of high end that all help this

effect sit back in the mix behind a dry guitar sound. The modulation

LFO is a sine wave.

Analog, Variation 2.

Like Variation 1, but worse (and by worse we mean better). There are

fewer highs and lows, there’s more grit, and the feedback is inverted

so the modulation can achieve credible ﬂange sounds. Set Delay Time

low, set Feedback around 2 o’clock, and adjust Rate and Depth to

preference.

Tape, Variation 1.

A loving tribute to vintage tape echo units. Their quirks—like bad drive

motors, dirty tape heads, crinkled tape and rollers that are no longer

round—can give tape a slight pitch warble, a bit of hiss and noise,

and other kinds of distortion that can sound really good (like amp

distortion). There’s also tape-saturation emulation. To simulate

tape-like wow and ﬂutter, this variation incorporates random

modulation. While random, its “speed” and depth can still be

adjusted with the Rate and Depth knobs.

Tape, Variation 2.

Like Tape, Variation 1, but with more warble, more saturation and

more bass and treble loss to mimic the sound of old tape.
