User manual MARSHALL EFFECT PEDAL EH-1 ECHOHEAD

[. . . ] For over 40 years the Marshall name has been synonymous with the greatest guitar tones in music. We have worked hand in hand with guitarists from all levels throughout the world to maintain and improve that special ingredient, `The Marshall Sound. ' Our range of effects pedals gives the opportunity to augment the classic Marshall tone to add Marshall character to a guitar set-up. Do not expose the apparatus to rain or moisture. Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids should be placed on or near the apparatus. [. . . ] 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. 2 3 ENGLISH 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. 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 anticlockwise) to 2000ms (fully clockwise). 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. [. . . ] Multi Tap Multiple echoes pulse out of the pedal providing a dense rhythmic sound. 11. DC Input For input of a 9V DC centre negative regulated adaptor should you not wish to use batteries. 4 5 ENGLISH Reverse Sucking the sound out backwards, the reverse mode trails out a series of hypnotic repeats creating psychedelic textures. Trouble Shooting CHECK PEDAL CONTROLS CHECK GUITAR 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. Use PP3 or equivalent battery (for improved battery life use alkaline type). [. . . ]
