4. DEPTH Knob Sets the amount of modulation that is added to the effect. As
DEPTH is turned clockwise, modulation width increases. Modulation is produced
by sweeping the delay time with a repeating LFO. The Nano DMM’s built-in mod-
ulation produces vibrato style effects when the BLEND knob is set to maximum
or produces chorus type effects when BLEND is set to the middle. Turn DEPTH
down to the full counter-clockwise position to disable modulation.
5. RATE Knob Adjusts the speed of modulation. As RATE is turned clockwise,
the modulation speed increases. The original DMM has a rate switch labeled
Chorus and Vibrato. To achieve the same Chorus and Vibrato settings on the
Nano DMM: set RATE to 9 o’clock for the Chorus setting; set RATE to 2 o’clock for
the Vibrato setting. The DEPTH knob must be set above the full CCW position
to hear the RATE knob change the modulation speed.
6. LEVEL Knob Sets the input gain for the Nano DMM. Both the wet and dry signals
mixed by the BLEND knob go through the gain block. We recommend starting
with LEVEL turned to 12 o’clock, setting the BLEND knob for the proper mix
between wet and dry signals, then adjust the LEVEL knob for an ideal volume
balance between effect and bypass modes.
7. OVERLOAD LED The OVERLOAD LED lights when the delayed signal starts to
smoothly clip.
8. FOOTSWITCH and STATUS LED The footswitch engages or bypasses the effect.
The STATUS LED lights when the effect is engaged. In bypass mode, the STATUS
LED is off.
9. TAILS Switch The internal TAILS switch can be accessed by removing the bottom
cover of the Nano DMM. The switch is located on the small board that holds the
footswitch. When set to TAILS (downward position), any delay echoes that are
present upon entering bypass continue to ring out but no new audio enters the
delay block. When this switch is set to the upward position, the effect instantly
mutes upon entering bypass.
When TAILS is off, the Nano DMM features true bypass; with TAILS enabled,
buffered bypass is employed. By default from the factory, the TAILS switch is
set to the off position.
10. INPUT Jack Audio input to the Nano DMM.
11. OUTPUT Jack Audio output from the Nano DMM.
12. 9V Power Jack Attach the output plug from the included power supply to the
9V power jack. The Nano DMM draws 150mA at 9VDC on a center-negative plug.
Do not exceed 12VDC on the power jack.
