Yes, there are small trim-pots on the board that can
be adjusted for both more time (I think I got about
10.5 sec out of one) and more feedback (all the way
up to Godzilla stomping on Tokyo run-a-way feedback).
The problem is that the more feedback and time you
give it, the worse the signal degrades in quality, so
don't expect pristine sound from the additional time
and/or feedback.

I think that if you call up digitech, they can tell
you which pots to tweak. It's worth doing.

Good luck!
