Marshall Amplification Echohead - Manual (Page 3)

2 3
Introduction
The Echohead pedal is a stereo delay pedal offering a
maximum delay time of 2000ms. 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.
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.
Setting Up
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.
