Connect an expression pedal or footswitch to unlock even more creative possibilities. With Analog Dry-Through, selectable True or Buffered Bypass, and multiple stereo output modes—including True Stereo and Ping-Pong—Everlast ensures tonal integrity and adaptability across a wide range of performance and studio scenarios.
Knobs and Switches
TIME
Set the delay time, you can adjust the length of the delay from 50ms to 1200ms.
REPEAT
Adjust the number of delay repetitions, Go from one repeat at full counterclockwise, to near infinite at full clockwise.
MIX
Controls the mix between the dry and wet signals. At the minimum, it outputs full dry signal; at the maximum, it outputs full wet signal with no dry signal. A 50/50 mix occurs around 2 o’clock on the knob.
DELAY SELECT
TAPE - Inspired by vintage tape echoes, this mode blends modern digital tech to expand sound options. It replicates classic tape effects like limited frequency range, compression/saturation, motor drift, and tape flutter.
DIGITAL - This Hi-Fi delay mode delivers clean, accurate sound. Use the Texture knob to add vibrato effects ranging from smooth to gritty, boosting texture and movement in your audio.
ANALOG - Unlike digital delay, this mode delivers warm, organic echoes. It mimics analog imperfections like subtle degradation, compression, and clock-drift noise. Adjust the Texture knob to blend in chorus-like textures and amplify the wobbly, drifting character of vintage gear.
REVERSE - This reverse mode crafts surreal guitar tones. Unlike basic signal flipping, it uses smart processing to tighten and shape the reversed sound musically. Twist the Texture knob to add fluttery vibrato—ideal for dreamy atmospheres or mysterious, ambient vibes.
SWELL - This mode crafts ambient pads using guitar volume swells, capturing only the fading harmonics while keeping the dry signal crisp. The Texture knob shapes the decay’s distortion intensity, morphing textures from dreamy washes to eerie, haunting tones.
GRANULE - This mode splits the input into audio grains, applies real-time pitch-shifting and rearranging, then feeds them into the delay line. The Texture knob adjusts both delay modulation and grain size: turn counterclockwise for glitchy textures (small grains) or clockwise for shimmering effects (large grains), offering a dynamic range from chaotic glitches to ethereal soundscapes.
CRYSTAL - This mode evokes the sound of light refracted through glass—each repeat shimmers upward like a glint of sunlight on ice, layering your guitar with an airy, celestial glow. Its pitch-shifted echoes drift through space like sonic prisms, perfect for painting cinematic soundscapes, ambient swells, and post-rock textures that feel both otherworldly and infinite.
SWEEPER - This mode blends a CRY BABY-style resonant low-pass filter with sine-wave modulation for vintage tones. The TONE knob sets the sweep’s base frequency (clockwise raises pitch), while Texture knob adjusts sweep width and speed. Combine both to craft synth-like atmospheric delays with retro-modern textures.
MOD - This mode washes each echo in gentle ripples, like sound waves drifting through liquid. By weaving subtle chorus or vibrato into the repeats, it transforms sterile delays into lush, breathing textures—swirling with warmth, movement, and a touch of vintage soul.
TEXTURE
Adjusts the texture of the delay reflections. Turning the control to the right softens the early reflections and produces a smooth onset of the delay.
TONE
Controls the brightness of the wet signal. Turn left to darken the repeats for a mellow, analog-like tone, or right to brighten them for more presence and clarity.
Footswitch
Control ON/OFF. Press&Hold to trigger Tap tempo or Ramp.
Refer to the *Tap Tempo* or *Ramp* section for details.
The LED Button
Lit when active, pressed or in combination with other knobs to adjust various functions and Hidden Parameters.
Hidden Parameters
-
Rhythm
Tap Tempo supports three rhythmic subdivisions. Select the desired subdivision by rotating the knob:
-
Quarter-note: Turn the knob fully counterclockwise (leftmost position).
-
Eighth-note triplet: Turn the knob fully clockwise (rightmost position).
-
Dotted eighth-note: Set the knob to the 12 o’clock position.
-
RampATK
Controls the attack time of the Ramp modulation, determining how quickly the fade reaches the Snap-Set. A shorter attack time results in a quicker transition to the Snap-Set, while a longer attack time creates a smoother, more gradual fade.
-
RampRLS
Controls the release time of the Ramp modulation, determining how gradually the transition fades back to the Panel-Set. A shorter release time results in a quicker return to the Panel-Set, while a longer release time provides a more drawn-out, fluid return to the Panel-Set.
For adjustments to Hidden Parameters, please refer to the *Description of the LED Button* section.
Rear Panel I/O
9V DC
Connect to a 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity and a minimum current rating of 250mA.
Note: If the power supply is insufficient, the pedal may malfunction.
IN L (Mono)
1/4" mono (TS) unbalanced left input for mono setups.

Signal Path
Configuring the In/Out Settings
1-in, 1-out
-
Mono input with mono output. The dry and wet signals are mixed together in the mono output.
-
In the Ping-pong Stereo mode, the IN L is connected and the output is connected to OUT R, it will activate the Long Delay mode. In this mode, the TIME parameter range will change from 50-1200ms to 100-2400ms.
1-in, 2-out
-
For the IN L, the dry and the wet sounds are mixed when stereo output.
-
In the Ping-pong Stereo mode, for the IN L, the dry and the wet sounds mixed are bounce or "ping-pong" between OUT L&R.
*Ping-pong Stereo Mode:
The wet signal bounces between the left and right channels, creating a wide,Rhythmic stereo effect. This alternating movement adds depth and motion, making the delay feel spacious, immersive, and alive in the mix.*
To select Ping-pong Stereo mode, see the *Power-Up Modes* section.
-
Dry/Wet Separation output : For the IN R, OUT R carries the dry signal; OUT L carries the wet signal.
*Dry/Wet Separation outputs allows a guitar signal to be split into two distinct paths: one carrying the unaffected (dry) sound, and the other carrying the processed (wet) effect signal. This configuration offers a range of creative and practical applications, particularly useful for live performances, studio setups, and
advanced signal routing. *
2-in, 2-out
For the IN L&R , the dry signal and wet signal sounds are mixed when OUT L&R.

-
After 5 seconds of inactivity, the LED will return to white, and the pedal will automatically exit Tap Tempo mode.
Rhythm Subdivisions:
The Tap Tempo supports multiple rhythmic divisions for versatile delay timing:
-
Quarter-note: Turn the knob fully counterclockwise (leftmost position).
-
Dotted eighth-note: Set the knob to the 12 o’clock position.
-
Eighth-note triplet: Turn the knob fully clockwise (rightmost position).
These subdivisions allow you to shape the delay's rhythmic feel, from tight, on-the-beat echoes to syncopated, atmospheric textures.
For Rhythm adjustment, please refer to *Description of the LED Button* section.
*Press and hold the footswitch while the LED is orange. When the LED turns violet, you’ve entered Ramp.*
Ramp allows for smooth, dynamic transitions between two sets of parameters:
-
Panel-Set–Your current front-panel parameter settings.
-
Snap-Set–A saved set of parameters stored using the LED button.
This feature creates expressive, evolving fades that add depth, movement, and emotion to your sound. The speed and character of the transition are defined by two parameters:
RampATK (Attack Time):
Controls how quickly the effect fades from the Panel-Set to the Snap-Set.
- A shorter attack gives a fast, sharp transition.
- A longer attack creates a smoother, more gradual fade.
RampRLS (Release Time):
Controls how quickly the sound returns from the Snap-Set to the Panel-Set.
- A shorter release results in a quick recovery.
- A longer release provides a more drawn-out, fluid return.
Ramp Modes
Ramp supports two switching modes - Momentary and Latched—giving you flexibility to match your performance style.
Press&Hold the footswitch to fade into the Snap-Set over RampATK time.Release the footswitch to return to the Panel-Set over RampRLS time.
Press once to transition to the Snap-Set (RampATK), and press again to return to the Panel-Set (RampRLS).
To select between Momentary and Latched modes, see the *Power-Up Modes* section.
Power-Up Modes
