Getting started
Installing the batteries (changing the
batteries)
Turn off the power before replacing the batteries.
Depleted batteries should be immediately removed
from the DelayLab. Leaving depleted batteries in
the battery compartment may cause malfunctions
(the batteries may leak). You should also remove the
batteries if you don’t expect to use the DelayLab for an
extended period of time.
Don’t mix partially-used batteries with new batteries,
and don’t mix batteries of differing types.
1. Detach the battery cover from the rear panel.
2. Insert six AA batteries, being sure to observe the correct
polarity (+/- orientation). Use alkaline or nickel-metal
hydride batteries.
3. Reattach the battery cover.
The included batteries are provided so that you can
verify that the unit is functioning correctly; their
lifespan may be shorter than normal.
Low-battery display
“Lo” appears on the display when the battery charge is low.
Settings that have not been saved will be lost if the the
batteries are low. Therefore, be sure to save the settings
if necessary. (Page 9 “Saving edited effects”)
Set the battery type so that the low-battery display will
function correctly. (Page 14 “Setting the battery type”)
Connecting
Let’s connect your guitar and amp to the DelayLab, and turn
on the power.
You must turn off the power before connecting anything.
