Tap Tempo
EN
TAP: Press and release this foot switch several times to create a Tap Tempo.
Tap tempo can control both the delay time and modulation rate simultaneously or
either of these two effect modules independently. The light surrounding the TAP
foot switch will illuminate a different colour to indicate what it is controlling. You
can change the tap tempo function by pressing a combination of two foot switches
simultaneously. See below.
DLY + MOD = PURPLE (press foot switches 3 + 4)
DLY only = RED (press foot switches 1 + 2)
MOD only = BLUE (press foot switches 2 + 3)
By default the tap tempo will control both the delay time and the modulation rate
simultaneously. The TAP foot switch light will illuminate purple to indicate this.
Using The FX LOOP
BLACKTRUCK comes equipped with a serial effects loop. This sits between the EQ
and MOD modules in the internal signal chain.
The FX LOOP can be used in many different ways...

-Add your favourite pedal or preamp to the chain -
This is an easy way to add an extra pedal into the BLACK TRUCK signal chain,
in-between your EQ and MOD.
Connect SEND to the input of your favourite pedal. Connect the output of the pedal
to the RETURN of BLACK TRUCK.
We like to use this with our Micro Preamp pedals for the ultimate in portable rigs.
- 4 cable method -
If your amplifier has it's own effects loop you can connect BLACKTRUCK using the
"4 cable method" which will put the drive modules in front of your amplifiers input and
the MOD and SPACE modules into your amplifiers effects loop.
