First set it to "Tube Echo".

First set the delay knob to its longest setting. Hit your guitar and adjust your "repeat" knob till you hear 3 distinctive repeats.
Now turn the delay knob all the way to around 9 o'clock till you get a quicker delay and adjust to you hear a more slap-back effect. Adjust the "mix" knob to taste.

adjust tweak for the "wow & flutter" effect and tweeze for drive.

You have a lot delay options under the hood of that thing so be careful. Your family might not be seeing you for a while.
