History Lesson v3 is pretty much like any other pedal.  Plug in on the right side, then plug the 

lower jack on the left side to your amp or next pedal.  Power it up, hit the footswitch and see 

what happens!

Want to hear some sounds that we like?  Hold down the BYPASS footswitch to load in the 

factory presets.  We put four cool tones in the pedal for you to tweak.

Experiment.  Turn the knobs.  Push the buttons.  We think you’ll find something you like.

The History Lesson Vol.3 is our loving homage to the best echoes the past has to offer.

We’ve included our favourite echo and delay sounds ranging back over 60 years.  We focused 

on vintage tech like tape echo, analog “bucket brigade” delay, and digital time manipulation.  

You’ll find a host of familiar sounds in the History Lesson Vol.3 as well as great new tones to 

help you sculpt your music.

We’ve also updated the pedal with our usual Neo Series magic, adding presets, MIDI, expres-

sion control, and extra functionality for each mode.

Plug in and turn some knobs with us on our journey through the past!

Messing with the knobs will get you a long way, but there is a lot to this pedal just under the 

surface.  When you’re ready to dive in to the advanced features of your new pedal, read on.
