Overview
Overview
Introducing theEternity Delay-our most sophisticated design to date.
The Eternity Delay is engineered with six studio-grade algorithms, six onboard presets (127 with
MIDI), full MIDI control over every knob, switch, algorithm, preset, and bpm with MIDI clock.
Additionally, it features a live mode, preset mode, and kill-dry mode. It also boasts the world's
most advanced tap tempo and stereo analog dry thru.
We've included Junior (JET's) favorite algorithm into the Eternity Delayand named it, JET's
Signature Rhythm Delay (JRD). The JRD is aslapback &analogdual delay algorithm. This algorithm
is not commonly found in other delay pedals, but Junior has used it extensively to create massive
sounding rhythm and lead sounds.
The Eternity Delay features anupgrade to the standardtap tempo. The Eternity tap tempo
averages the BPM based on the number of taps received. This results in extreme accuracy when
MIDI clock isn't available. The tap tempo rate LED automatically syncs itself to the BPM and flashes
on the downbeat of each ¼ note, solving the problem of flashing LEDs that appear to be out of
tempo.

Description
Rotate the knobs in Preset Mode to see the saved position of each knob
Quickly edit and save any preset by adjusting the knobs then holding the Bypass
switch for 3 seconds
Full MIDI control over every knob, switch, algorithm, preset, bpm (via midi clock), etc.
Stereo Analog Dry Thru
Live Mode, Preset Mode and Kill Dry Mode
Quickly jump between two different delays
Any preset can be queued up while in Live Mode without affecting your sound
The world’s most advanced dedicated tap tempo switch:
Tap tempo range is from approx. 60 to 160 BPM
Tap tempo will average the BPM’s based on the number of taps received, resulting in
extreme accuracy when MIDI clock isn’t available
Tap tempo rate LED will automatically sync itself to BPM and flashes on the down beat
of each ¼ note. No more annoying flashing LED’s that appear to be out of tempo with
the song.
Selectable subdivision rate switch, select between quarter, dotted eight, and eight note
subdivisions.

Overview
The Eternity has 6 studio grade algorithms to choose from. Below details the sounds for each
algorithm.
Designed to emulate tape machine delay’s. With sonic characteristics of warm tube saturated
repeats, each repeat gets progressively darker and the speed of the tape reels can fluctuate,
causing artifacts such as wow and flutter. A brand new tape machine will have minor artifacts
affecting the delay repeats. However as it ages, these characteristics tend to be more distinct and
the delay repeats will represent more of these artifacts. Cntrl1 will emulate the tape age, fully
counter-clockwise is like a brand new tape machine. As its rotated clockwise, each repeat gets
darker and the wow & flutter becomes more noticeable.
Bright & clean delay repeats. The Cntrl 1 knob adds some character/grit to your repeats for a less
pristine delay sound. The character/grit is input sensitive, play harder and this will be more
noticeable or play softer for less character/grit.
Designed to emulate the old bucket brigade analog delay’s. Analog delay’s will have signal
degradation on each repeat causing each successive repeat to roll off some high frequency’s. The
Cntrl 1 knob, when set fully counter-clockwise, is a simple and straightforward Analog delay. When
rotated clockwise, the Cntrl 1 knobs adds modulation to the repeats of the delay. The rate and
depth of the modulation is fixed, think of the Cntrl 1 knob as a volume knob for the modulation.
Algorithms
Tape Delay
Digital Delay
Analog Delay
This delay runs two different delay’s with different subdivisions in full stereo and in ping pong (L &
R). Delay 1 is an analog delay which is set by the Subdivision switch and Delay 2 is a fixed dotted
eight digital delay. The Mix knob controls the level of delay 1 and the Cntrl 1 knob controls the
level of delay 2. The subdivision switch affects Delay 1 and is as follows:
1/4 Note Setting
Delay 1 will be set to a 1/4 note with Delay 2 set to a dotted 1/8 note
Dotted 1/8 Note Setting
Delay 1 will be set to the Golden Ratio with Delay 2 set to a dotted 1/8 note
1/8 Note Setting
Delay 1 will be set to an 1/8 note with Delay 2 set to a dotted 1/8 note
This delay is actually three delay’s in one and the subdivision switch selects between the three
different delay’s. The Echo delay is called up when the Subdivision switch is set to the 1/4 note
position. Based on the tap tempo range (approx. 60 - 160 BPM) the Echo delay will range from 333
milliseconds to 125 milliseconds. When the subdivision switch is set to dotted 1/8, this calls call up
the Slap delay. The tap tempo range will go from 125 milliseconds to 47 milliseconds. When the
subdivision switch is set to the 1/8 note position, this calls call up the Doubler delay. The tap
tempo range will go from 63 milliseconds to 23 milliseconds. The Cntrl 1 knob widens the stereo
spread of the ESD delay, at fully counter-clockwise the stereo spread will be off and gets wider as
its rotated clockwise.
Dual Delay
Echo | Slap | Doubler (ESD) Delay
JET Signature Rhythm (JRD) Delay
This delay is not commonly found on other delay pedals however it is a sound that I (Junior “JET”)
have used extensively for creating massive sounding rhythm & lead sounds. This delay is very
similar to the Dual Delay however it is important to not have the delay’s ping pong back and forth.
Delay 1 is an analog delay and the Subdivision switch, Mix, and Repeats knobs all control delay 1.
Delay 2 is a fixed 100 millisecond Slapback delay and Cntrl 1 adjusts the overall volume of delay 2.
How to use the Eternity Delay
Operating your Eternity
Delay
Operating your Eternity Delay
To enter the Global Settings, hold down the Bypass switch when power is first applied to the pedal.
The Mix and Repeats LEDs will be glowing and cycling through various colors. Release the Bypass
switch when the Mix and Repeats knobs turns either solid White or Red (if Kill Dry mode is enabled
the LEDs will be Red). To save your settings and exit the Global Settings, hold down the Bypass
Switch for 3 seconds. The Mix and Repeats LEDs will continue glowing and cycling through the
various colors until your settings have been saved.
Below are the following features that can be adjusted within the Global Settings:
Setting the MIDI Channel
Rotate the Cntrl1 knob, the Bypass LED will flash the number of times that corresponds
to the MIDI Channel. If setting to MIDI Channel 4, the LED will flash 4 times with a 2
second pause and then repeat.
Enable/Disable Kill Dry Mode
Short press the Tap switch, the Mix and Repeats knobs will change colors. If the LED
colors are Red, then Kill Dry Mode is enabled. If the LED colors are White, then Kill Dry
Mode is disabled.
Load a Specific Preset Upon Start-Up
Rotate the Mix knob, the Mix LED will cycle through the Preset colors. Rotate until your
desired Preset is illuminated.
Load a Specific Algorithm Upon Start-Up
Rotate the Repeats knob, the Repeats LED will cycle through the Algorithm colors.
Rotate until your desired Algorithm is illuminated.
Limit the Number of Presets to Scroll Though
Rotate the Filter knob, the Tap LED will flash the number of times that corresponds to
the maximum number of Presets available to scroll through. If setting to 3 Presets, the
LED will flash 3 times with a 2 second pause and then repeat.
