Delay

This section has two controls which permit the selection of delay time. The first one being an 8-position rotary switch, which offers preset delay times in milliseconds ranging from 3.5mS to 450mS, each value basically double that of the previous one. The presets that Ibanez have chosen do give a good choice of delay effects that can be obtained quickly with the minimum of knob-twiddling, which is especially good when using the unit in a concert situation.

Variable delay times, however, can be obtained by turning the Delay Time control, which halves the preset delay time when turned fully anticlockwise (x0.5) and doubles it when fully clockwise (x2). Since this control is uncalibrated, it does make it difficult to set a specific time delay accurately, if need be. Thus by use of both preset and variable Delay Time controls, the Ibanez will give the user a maximum delay of 900mS, with a full frequency response up to 8kHz at ail delay settings, enabling reverberation, slapback (bathroom) echo and a myriad of repeat echo effects to be performed.

Modulation

A low frequency oscillator is built in to the unit giving time modulation effects such as flanging and chorus, which are easy to obtain by referring to the sample settings indicated on the top of the case, and adjusting the Width and Speed controls. Delays greater than 100mS give crazy pitch changes which are not too useful for strictly musical applications but good fun anyway!

A Feedback control varies the amount of signal being recycled into the memory, gradually increasing the number of echo repeats when long delays are chosen, and enhancing reverberation depth on shorter delays over 30mS. With very long delays and full feedback, the delayed signal will happily repeat for many seconds without noticeable degradation of the sound quality. When not playing, oscillator sweep noise can be heard, but only when modulation Width and Feedback are advanced past their number 7 settings. A bonus facility is the phase Invert of the feedback signal, which is selected by pulling the Feedback knob. The change in sound is very subtle making things sound 'thinner', and seems best employed on very short delay settings. On the right of the front panel is a latching pushbutton labelled 'Hold' and status indicator light. If a long delay is selected, pushing the switch immediately after a phrase is played causes the sound to be 'frozen' in the memory and repeated continually — just like an old-fashioned tape loop but without the build up in noise. What is more, by adjusting the Delay Time control, the frozen sound may be changed, either up or down in pitch by a maximum of two octaves depending on the original setting of the Delay Time control, giving some exciting effects.

The DM 1000 offers separate level controls for Dry and Delay outputs, instead of the more common balance type mix control, so that an exact mix can be made between the two. Two jacks for Mix and Invert — Mix outputs, a Bypass/Effect pushbutton with LED and a power switch with LED complete the comprehensive front panel features.
