Here is the full problem I have been having. When I first turn the pedal on, I have to turn the delay knob up the whole way for it to work at all. After its on for awhile, i can turn it half way back. After I wait even longer, i can turn it almost three quarters the way back to the beginning. All of this is after a few hours, and if its turned off for a while, I have to restart the process. But, its never let me start low on the delay knob. It looks like I will have to return it like the second person that posted suggested.
