Boss GT-10 Ducking Delay

Ducking Delay

A Ducking Delay is used to suppress the delay signal while playing guitar. That means that the delay is only audible during breaks.

Ducking Delay programmed via Variable Assigns of Boss GT-8 or Boss GT-10

Take a free variable assign and choose:

    * Target: Delay
    * Target DL: Effects Level
    * Target Min: 25 (which is the max. Delay Volume)
    * Target Max: 0 (as long as we play, there's no delay)
    * Source: INPUT LEVEL
    * Source Mode: Normal (GT-8) / Moment (GT-10)
    * Source Act.Range Lo: 126
    * Source act.Range Hi: 127

Then set "INPUT ASSIGN Sens:" to a useful value, so that the Delay is turned on and off.

Explanation

Target specifies what we want to control. Since this is the delay it is set there. We want it to be controlled by volume, so INPUT LEVEL is set as "Source". If "Source" (INPUT LEVEL) is minimal, "Target Min." is used. That means a minimum volume level would give a delay volume at 25. And at maximum volume the delay level is 0.
