Dignified but Approachable
Two taps still work to set the tempo no matter what mode you're in.Pretty sure my Strymon pedals don't default to Average tempo settings. Neither Do my Eventide processors or my Lexicons or my Boss or my Line 6 units or my Rocktron units. In fact I have never ever experienced an average tempo delay by default in any mainstream effects I have owned ever.
Hence the confusion.
However, my point was and still is... Average tempo settings are selectable options on Boss Strymon and many other well known effects pedals that most guitarists use. Average tempo is not pre-set from the factory. Unlike the Axe fx.
If the Axe fx had been set to two tap from the factory this thread would not exist.
I get what you're saying, though. But it's just a default. Most people don't run afoul of it, though, so it's a good default.
