Echoman, designed by guitar effects guru Howard Davis, is a simplified
monaural version of the Memory Analog Delay. It is a state-of-the-art design
based on Davis’s highly successful Deluxe Memory Man, acknowledged as
among the best (if not THE best) analog delay pedals.
FEATURES
Xvive’s own MN3005 BBD bucket brigade chip; Up to 600 msec of delay time
with no aliasing distortion; True Bypass with 900K input impedance;
Wide bandwidth and good high frequency response, even at long delay
settings; Feedback control allows self-oscillation if desired; Blend control
allows adjusting the output from dry signal only to delayed signal only;
High-tech filtering and noise reduction circuitry guarantee an excellent
signal-to-noise ratio, even at long delay settings.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Connect the 9VDC center-negative adaptor to the power-in jack; guitar or
other instrument to the input; and amplifier to the output. If
the power
polarity is incorrect, the pedal will not work but will not be damaged.
With the MODULATION (depth) turned all the way down, adjust DELAY,
BLEND, and FEEDBACK to obtain your desired echo effect.
If desired, turn up the MODULATION knob and set the modulation switch to
the effect you want: chorus (blue) or vibrato (red).
FOR CHORUS EFFECTS
Set TIME very short, BLEND below 12 o’clock to ensure you hear your dry
signal, and FEEDBACK also below 12 o’clock to keep the sound
controlled. Adjust MODULATION to taste.
FOR VIBRATO EFFECTS
Only the delayed signal is modulated. Start with MODULATION and
FEEDBACK around 1 o’clock, and TIME and BLEND around 10 o’clock, and
adjust to taste.
FOR REVERB EFFECTS
Set DELAY short, MODULATION all the way down or low, and BLEND
around 10 o’clock to start. Set the FEEDBACK around noon, and turn
higher (just before self-oscillation occurs) for a "bathtub reverb" effect
that can be varied by adjusting the TIME and MODULATION settings.
