WayloUD Delay
Two knobs, two buttons, one encoder. Everything below maps directly onto the hardware in front of you — no menus to dig through.
Controls
Every control is global — it acts on whichever patch is currently loaded. Nothing here needs a menu or a screen; the numbers match the diagram above.
Knob 1 — macro (patch-dependent)
On most patches, this is the More Beer / Zarabeth macro: it eases the patch's own modulation depth and rate up or down together. Straight up (12 o'clock) is neutral — exactly what the patch was saved with. Turn left to calm the wobble down, right to push it further.
On six specific echo/delay patches, it does something different: it drives delay time and feedback together instead, same center-neutral idea, from 0.25× up to 3× the patch's stored values. Those six are listed in Presets & slots.
Knob 2 — wet level
Sets the effect's wet (delayed) signal level, 0–100%. It only ever adds delay signal on top — it never touches the dry signal, which stays whatever the patch or editor set it to.
Button 1 — trim down
Each press scales every voice's delay time and feedback down together by another 0.1×, to a floor of 0.25× the patch's stored values. Shorter repeats, less feedback.
Button 2 — trim up
The mirror of Button 1: each press scales time and feedback up by 0.1×, to a ceiling of 3×. Longer repeats, more feedback — right up to self-oscillation territory near the top of the range.
Both trims reset to 1× (unmodified) whenever you change patches.
Encoder — three actions in one
- Rotate — scroll through patches, one step per detent. Skips any patch you've disabled from the editor's checklist; disabled patches are still reachable by MIDI Program Change.
- Press & release — cycles the input/output routing, one step forward each time: Stereo In/Out → Mono In/Stereo Out → Bypass → Mono In/Out → back to Stereo.
- Press & hold (> ~0.3s) — quick-saves the current live sound to a user slot: if you're already on a user slot, it saves there; otherwise it saves to the next slot in a running rotation and advances that rotation for next time.
LEDs
LED 1 shows a color unique to the loaded patch — same patch always looks the same, so you can spot a change at a glance without reading a screen. LED 2 mirrors it at a third the brightness, except when bypass is active, when it goes solid red.
Presets & slots
131 total slots: 32 factory, 99 user. Factory patches can't be overwritten from the front panel or MIDI — quick-save and editor saves always land in a user slot.
Factory
The "legend" chorus, lead-solo, swell and echo families, plus Waylochorus 1 and Waylolead 1. Fixed, read-only.
User (99)
Freely editable from the browser editor. Each can carry a custom name up to 12 characters, shown in place of the default "User NN" label.
Magicstomp imports
Pre-loaded by default from a real Magicstomp patch bank, each in the same slot number it held on that bank.
The six delay-time/feedback patches
These are the only patches where Knob 1 controls delay time + feedback instead of the usual depth/rate macro — all genuine echo/delay-type imports, not chorus or modulation patches:
| Slot | Name | Source type |
|---|---|---|
| 53 | TapeEcho | ModDelay |
| 55 | AnalogDelay | ModDelay |
| 56 | PingPongDly | Eight Multi-Tap Mod Delay |
| 57 | AnalogModDly | Eight Multi-Tap Mod Delay |
| 78 | MachineGun | Eight Multi-Tap Mod Delay |
| 79 | RotModDly | Eight Multi-Tap Mod Delay |
MIDI
Program Change selects any of the 131 slots directly (including disabled ones). Seven Control Changes reach the parameters the front panel doesn't expose on its own:
| CC | Name | Does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mod wheel | More Beer macro (depth) — independent of Knob 1 |
| 2 | Breath | Zarabeth macro (rate) — independent of Knob 1 |
| 7 | Channel volume | Wet level — same parameter as Knob 2 |
| 11 | Expression | Dry level |
| 64 | Sustain | Bypass — ≥64 is on, <64 is off |
| 71 | — | Global depth macro |
| 74 | — | Global rate macro |
CC 1 and CC 2 stack multiplicatively with Knob 1 rather than overriding it — on delay-type patches they leave Knob 1's time/feedback job alone and keep working the old depth/rate macro underneath.
Browser editor
The full parameter set — beyond what two knobs and two buttons can reach — lives in waylo_ud_editor.html, a self-contained page that talks to the Pod over USB via WebSerial. No install, no server; it needs a WebSerial-capable browser (Chrome or Edge).
-
Plug the Pod in over USB and open the editor page. Click Connect and pick its serial port from the browser's prompt.
-
Adjust any of the 52 parameters, grouped as Core Mix, Delay Times, Delay Gains, Mod Depth & Rate, and Feedback & Pan — eight per-voice sliders per group.
Changes to a loaded user slot write live; factory slots are read-only until you save them into a user slot.
-
Save the current sound to any of the 99 user slots, with an optional name up to 12 characters.
-
To import a Magicstomp
.ub9library file, use the Import panel: pick the file, review which patches converted, then save one at a time or use Save All to Selected Slots.Only four Magicstomp effect types have a WayloUD equivalent and convert: Eight Band Parallel Delay, Mod Delay, Eight Multi-Tap Mod Delay, and Symphonic. Reverb, pitch-shift, phaser, distortion and amp-sim patches have nothing to convert to and are skipped.
-
Use the patch checklist to enable or disable which of the 131 slots the front-panel encoder scrolls past.
Notes
Turning Knob 1 sounds smooth, not clicky
On the six delay-time/feedback patches, the read position inside the delay buffer glides toward wherever the knob is pointing rather than jumping there — this is what keeps a fast turn from producing a click or "zipper" artifact, especially with feedback recirculating.
Chorus and lead patches are unaffected by that
Knob 1's job is decided per patch, explicitly — by name, not by measuring the patch's own delay times — so nothing outside the six listed patches changed behavior when they were added.
