  • Deja Vu Tap Tempo question

    How do I cancel the tap tempo to go back to standard knob control?

    Re: Deja Vu Tap Tempo question

    Also...any tips on mounting this baby? I assume it's best to remove the grooved rubber bottom before applying Velcro...concerned that the screws on the bottom will not allow for a good grip.

        If you're in rate mode, just turning the knob to a different time overtakes the tempo. In other words, both tap and knob always work. In ratio mode tap works and moving the knob shifts the ratio.

          not according to the manual:
          5. Ratio/Delay Time – This knob carries two functions. When in “Delay
          Time” mode, this knob simply adjusts the rate of the delay effect from
          3 ms counter clockwise, to 2600 ms clockwise. Longer delay times are
          available when using the Tap Tempo footswitch (see below). Also, this
          knob allows access to the Déjà Vu’s loop mode. When the knob is fully
          clockwise, the Déjà Vu enters Loop Mode. The LED behavior will invert,
          from flashing the delay time to a constant beam that dips to show the
          delay time. In this mode you simply press and hold the Tap Tempo footswitch
          like a “record button” while you’re playing, and once you release
          the footswitch the recording stops and immediately begins an infinite
          loop, which you can now play over.
          When in “Ratio” Mode, this control takes you through five tempo subdivisions:
          1:1, “dotted 8th note” (or 1.33:1), 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1. Or another
          way to look at it is quarter notes, dotted eighth notes, eighth notes,
          triplets, and sixteenth notes. This is not a continuous control, but corresponds
          to the five distinct sections marked on the outer band.

              Yes...figured it out last night...thanks.

              They could spell that out a little clearer in the manual.

              What a great pedal!

                      the tempo light always blinks. that way you know if the delays are running at the speed you want before you engage the effect.

                        So when I shut down.. it's supposed to stay on? What?

                        I had to pull the cables to get it to shut off.

                            All pedals regardless of who makes them use power led or no led if you leave the guitar leads in (except in a few rare instances). Delays suck batteries quicker than fluffer at a festival. A flashin led uses negligible power compared to the rest of the unit. MOst people would use a power supply anyway, so its no big deal.

                              So your saying its a design feature.. I like the pedal but, I call this a flaw.
