Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron
Short Timer Retro Digital Delay Pedal.
The Short Timer Retro Digital Delay has been specifi-
cally designed to provide a short or quick slapback
delay that is warm and lush.
The Short Timer is an extremely useful live and studio
digital delay. Two modes of delay, “Short” and
“Shorter”, provide a wide range of quick delays that are
the most widely used delay times in modern music.
The Short Timer is built into a super tough road worthy
extruded aluminium chassis. This pedal will stand up
to the abuses of time and road wear and tear.
The easy access battery compartment will make chang-
ing batteries during a gig a breeze. We have also
equipped it with a super bright blue LED so you will
know when the pedal is on...it is also just plain cool!
Enjoy

Level Control - Adjusts the overall volume of the delay effect.
Turning the control clockwise increases the volume of the delay.
Turning the control counter-clockwise decreases the volume.
Regeneration Control - Adjusts the number of repetitions of delay
effect. Turning the control clockwise increases the number of
repetitions. Turning the control counter-clockwise decreases the
number of repetitions.
Active LED - When lit the pedal is “active” or “on”
Time Control - Adjusts the length of delay. Turning the control
clockwise increases the length of the delay. Turning the control
counter-clockwise decreases the length of the delay. This control is
used in conjuction with the “Short/Shorter” switch ( see point 5).
Short/Shorter Switch - When the switch is out or in the “Short
Position - the delay time in milliseconds is set between 200ms and
400ms. When the switch is “in” or in the “Shorter” position the
delay time in milliseconds is set between 0ms and 200ms. The
actual delay time is then adjusted using the “Time” control (see
point 4)

Output Jack - Using a standard guitar cable with a 1/4” jack,
plug into the input of your guitar amplifier or next stomp box
Input - Using a standard guitar cable with a 1/4” jack, plug the
output of your distortion pedal or your guitar into this jack. If
using in an effects loop plug the cable from the “send jack” on
the amp or effects unit to this jack.
On/Off Switch - This switch determines whether the pedal is
“active” or “bypassed” - When “active” the blue LED will be lit.
When bypassed the LED will not be lit.
DC 9V Input - To use external power (not provided) use only a
9-Volt DC adapter
9-Volt Battery Compartment - to access pull on small tab labeled

Hints and Tips:
Digital Delay pedals usually sound better when placed after distortion.
Thus, if you are using a distortion pedal, place the Short Timer after the
distortion pedal in the signal chain. If you are using the amplifier’s
distortion try putting the Short Timer in the effects loop section of the
amplifier if you have it (please note - follow all instructions in your
amplifier manual when using the effects loop).
Short, quick delays or slapbacks are the most widely used delays in
today’s music. For distorted rhythm playing set the delay to “Shorter” and
the delay level and regeneration levels low. For distorted lead playing, set
the delay to “Short” and bump up the delay level and the regeneration
level to taste. For chicken pickin type delay set the delay level to
“Shorter” and bump up the delay level and regeneration level slightly.
Of course, these are just suggestions, we recommend you experiment with
this a little to find “your” sound.
