Manual
The Carl Martin Echotone! 1200 milliseconds of vintage echo, foot-switchable Tap or Manual time settings, insert
loop and switchable trail function at bypass. Imagine switching from a Manual time setting to a Tap time setting
right at your feet, so you can play with your favourite slap-back echo on rhythm to a Tap (tempo) set echo for that
massive lead or solo! Combine this with flavouring your echo by installing a chorus, flange or even distortion
pedal in the insert loop, and the switchable trail function at bypass, and you have what our test players are
calling ‘the best echo they have ever heard’!
As with all the Danish built Carl Martin effects, the Echotone comes in our low-profile housing, coated in our new
stunning off-white colour, with the built-in 12v (+-) regulated power supply.
The ECHO switch is to activate or bypass the Echotone, with the LED on
the unit is activated.
Please note the Echotone is NOT true bypass, it features a high quality
buffered bypass, to ensure long cabling without loss.
The SELECT switch choose between the manual time setting and the TAP
TEMPO function.
With the LED above the TAP TEMPO switch ON the TAP TEMPO function
is activated, the manual time knob does not work.
With the LED above the TAP TEMPO switch OFF the MANUAL TIME
function is activated, the tap tempo does not work.
By this you can easily shift between two presets i.e. a slapback on the
MANUAL knob, and while using that on the A part of the song you can tap
in the song tempo while playing, and in the solo enter the select switch for
long delay time for the heroic lead, and after the solo enter the SELECT
switch to return to the slapback.
