    These are the Hazarai settings … Just a case of copying and seeing what happens?

    I don’t think that’s going to work 1:1, as seemingly similar parameters represent different things in the TF & EHX (assuming MultiTap in each).  The good news is that I think it can be done, with a few minor adjustments.  So here’s what we’re after:

    Hazarai MultiTap 1 Sec

    • Blend: 12 o’clock – should be about the same in TF Mix (but I don’t recall if 10-11 o’clock is closer to 50:dry / 50:wet or not).
    • Decay: All the way up – TF Depth (Delay Tap Taper) should be around -5, on down to -10.  Speed (Delay Tap Spacing) at 5 to start.
    • Filter: 12 o’clock (not sure what setting this would be on the Timefactor) – I’m going to say Filter at 0.  Low pass, in opposite knob directions.
    • Repeats: Between 11 and 12 o’clock – Here’s where it gets tricky: the number of taps.  TF has a fixed 5 for Dly A + a fixed 5 for Dly B.  That EHX setting might be 12-15 taps, more or less.  I’m thinking Dly A set to 1/2 of the Dly B time (with Dly Mix at noon).  That should get you close enough with 10 staggered taps.
    • Delay: Between 9 and 10 o’clock – another tweak by ear.  With the EHX range between 0.6 mS & 1050 mS., somewhere around Dly B at 400-500 mS + Dly A at 200-250 mS?  Hard to tell when the distortion kicks in on your example, but it didn’t impress me as being that long, for the total length of taps.  Start with Dly B around noon, dial it down, and then adjust Dly A down until you hear the taps offset from each other. (It might be easiest to hear using stereo ‘phones).

    All theory & conjecture at this point, without having MultiTap in front of me to confirm. For example, I don’t know whether a touch of Xnob (Slur) will be beneficial, if Fdbk A / B will even apply, or can possibly enhance the effect.  But it’s someplace to start from.  When I get the chance, I’ll follow up.
