It controls modulation depth in Digital, Analog, and Slap modes, but adjusts filter width in Lo-Fi mode.

Independent shopping perspective
ARP-87 places four delay voices in a compact pedal: Digital, Analog, Lo-Fi, and Slap. Digital repeats are clear enough for rhythmic parts, while Analog is voiced to bring warmth and dimension to chords and lines. Lo-Fi lets you move the repeat character from warm and warped toward an AM-radio effect, and Slap supplies a quick slapback option. The footswitches also support temporary effect activation and momentary ramps, so a held switch can create a short-lived delay change during a part.
