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.

ENGLISH

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.
