Delay Times

A Zenyatta Andatta exclusive!

Listed below are Police songs which feature delay-work and their accurate settings!

I have organized these by:

album, song (with #), the delay time and then the actual time in the song the delay takes place.

If you have trouble setting up your delay pedal for the following settings, remember:

Settings are written in milliseconds, i.e. 'ms'.

1.000 ms = 1 second

Watch for the decimal! Happy Echoing...
