Thank you for purchasing a Boomerang® E-155 Chorus

*

Delay Pedal. We think you’ll be thrilled by the sounds you 

can create with it. The E-155 is the first in a new line of Boomerang® pedals that each have 2 or more effects and can 
be linked to form a powerful effects system. 
 

We welcome any comments you may have about this manual, good or bad. You are encouraged to contact us with 

any complaints or suggestions for improvement.

3 types of chorus: Classic, Shimmer & Lush 

 

3 styles of delay: Clean, Tape & Reverse 

 

11 presets for storing your sounds 

 

Expression pedal controls overall effect level or individual parameters 

 

Ability to smoothly morph between two completely different sounds

1. Chorus 

Controls 

Speed Knob 

This sets the rate of the modulation sweep. 

Depth Knob 

This sets the width of the sweep and controls the character of the effect from subtle to deep. 

Mix (Delay) Knob 

NOTE

 - This knob behaves differently depending on which chorus style is selected. 

1) With Shimmer & Lush styles it controls the amount of affected signal blended in with the dry signal. 

2) With Classic style it sets the chorus delay time. The Depth Knob, which controls intensity, will set effect level. 

On/Off Foot Button 

This is the foot button at the bottom left of the chorus section. 

Chorus Style Button 

This is the small button just to the left of the three Chorus Style lights. It selects one of the three styles of chorus 
described next. Press & release to cycle through the choices. The current selection is indicated by a light. 

Chorus Styles 

Classic 

This is a traditional sounding chorus and can create a wide range of sounds. 

NOTE

 – When this style is selected the Mix (Delay) Knob controls chorus delay time not effect level. The Depth Knob is 

used to set effect intensity, essentially setting level. 

Shimmer 

This style has a wavier texture. Is “wavier” a word? 

Lush 

This is a multi tap chorus and can produce deep liquid sounds. 

2. Delay 

Controls 

Time Knob 

This sets the time between repeats. The available range is 50ms to 2 seconds.
