From crystal clear echoes to hypnotic reverse delays via the vintage whir of an old tape machine the Echohead recreates six different delay modes for you to explore giving you full control over the delay time, feedback and level of every mode. The Echohead's dual outputs offer the choice of using a passive bypass for the main signal path to ensure complete tonal integrity or allowing the pedal to spill-over allowing your echoes to naturally die away. Combined the outputs create a stereo ping-pong effect creating a wide dynamic field. Below is a complete run down of the Echohead's features for your information. We have also enclosed a number of suggested settings to help guide you. It should be remembered that these are only suggested settings and you should really experiment as much as possible. Setting Up Always use good quality shielded leads. Always use 9V regulated DC supply with centre negative rated at 80mA or above. Although it may seem obvious the first action in achieving a good effected sound (be it duration / compression etc.) is to find the perfect bypassed sound. This will then allow the correct level to be set with the effect unit to allow a cut or boost in volume and a realistic tone. On clean channels it is advisable to set the gain (or volume) to a setting of no less than one quarter maximum so as not to get unrealistic results due to any volume dependent tonal shaping on the amplifier preamp. Features 1. 'In' Jack Socket This is the input jack for connection to your guitar or to the output of another effects pedal when linking pedals together. 2. 'Tap Tempo' Socket A momentary footswitch (such as the Marshall Tap Tempo pedal - PEDL-10040) can be connected to this socket to control the delay time. By tapping the pedal at your desired tempo the Echohead will automatically adjust your delay time to match. ENGLISH 23 3. 'Out 1 / Left' Jack Socket - Passive Bypass Out 1 is connected to a passive bypass circuit. The passive bypass ensures complete tonal integrity by disconnecting the output of the effects circuit when not in operation. When a jack is connected to Out 1 the pedal operates in mono mode. 4. 'Out 2 /Right' Jack Socket - Spill-Over Out 2 is connected to a spill-over circuit. When the pedal is switched off the echoes it has produced are allowed to 'spill' and naturally decay over your playing while the input feeding the effects circuit is switched off. When a jack is connected to Out 2 the pedal operates in mono mode. When jacks are connected to Out 1 & Out 2 the pedal operates in Stereo mode, producing a ping-pong style delay between the two outputs. In stereo mode the delay time of Out 2 is half the length of Out 1. No spill-over is present when the pedal operates in stereo mode. 5. Mode The Echohead offers six different delay modes. Selected by switching the mode knob in to one of the six positions. Hi-Fi A solid delay line throwing out crystal clear repeats of the input. Analogue Filters shape the echoes, adding a subtle tone and recreating the sound of the guitar cascading through old analogue delay circuits. Tape Echo The narrow bandwidth and unstable whir of a tape delay inspired these harsh degenerating echoes. The random wow and flutter of an old motor adds a warm organic chorus to the dark textured delays. Multi Tap Multiple echoes pulse out of the pedal providing a dense rhythmic sound. Reverse Sucking the sound out backwards, the reverse mode trails out a series of hypnotic repeats creating psychedelic textures. Mod Filter Sweeping across your sound, synced to your delay time, a modulating filter adds movement and depth to the echoes. 6. Delay Time Controls the delay time of the echoes from 20ms (fully anti- clockwise) to 2000ms (fully clockwise). 7. Feedback Controls the amount of output signal that is fed-back and mixed with the input increasing the time taken for the echoes to decay. Fully anti-clockwise no signal is fed back and only one echo is repeated, fully clockwise and the entire signal is fed back causing the echoes to sound indefinitely. 8. Level Controls the level of the overall effect. Fully anti-clockwise gives the least effect and driest (uneffected) guitar signal, while fully clockwise gives the most effected guitar sound. 9. Foot Switch For switching the Echohead on and off. 10. LED Indicates when the Echohead is in operation. 11. DC Input For input of a 9V DC centre negative regulated adaptor should you not wish to use batteries. ENGLISH 4 5 Trouble Shooting Battery Replacement 1. To replace the battery, open the easily accessed coin screw battery cover plate by loosening screw as shown, then disconnect the battery connector lead.
