Echo
Park™
Based on the award-winning DL4™ Delay Modeler, Echo Park™
is loaded with unbelievable sounding models including Analog,
Tape, and Digital Delay. Different delay patterns such as slap,
ping pong, swell, and sweep can be adjusted with the twist of
a knob, and the Mod dial can be tweaked for even more variations.
Also features Tap Tempo and stereo ins and outs.
Model Switch - Switching this reconfigures the
virtual circuitry inside Echo Park. You get three of the most
desired delay sounds on the planet.
Tape - This gives you darker tone with each
repeat just like a vintage tape-based echo. And you never have
to change tapes!
Digital - This gives you straight up echoes,
with crystal clear digital fidelity.
Analog - Designed to give you a vintage analog
“bucket brigade” delay sound, with its classic warmth
and warble.
Trails Switch - Set this on to keep Echo Park’s
processing engaged while in bypass, so your echoes smoothly trail
away when you kick the effect off.
Mix - Turn the knob up (clockwise) for louder
echoes, or down for quieter ones.
Repeat - You get 1 repeat at the minimum setting, and infinite
repeats that swirl around when the knob is all the way up.
Time - This knob gives you a range of spacings
for your echoes from 53 milliseconds (close together) through
2.2 seconds (way far apart). You can use Tap Tempo to reach Echo
Park’s maximum time of 2.5 seconds.
Mod - Turn this knob up to get some delicious
stereo modulation on your echoes. Each model has its own type
of stereo modulation:
- Analog has Vibrato
- Digital has Chorus
- Tape has Wow & Flutter
Function Control Knob
- Normal - your taps are treated as quarter
notes, so you hear your echoes coming back at the same speed
you tapped the footswitch.
- Tap eighth note triplet - This setting lets
you tap quarter notes, while the echoes come back doing 8th
note triplets. Sweet!
- Tap dotted eighth note - You tap quarter
notes, your echoes come back as dotted 8th notes.
Slap - This is the place for a speedy slap back echo. The Time
knob’s range is automagically changed to be 10 to 150
milliseconds. You can Tap Tempo quarter notes, and get 16th
note echoes.
- Swell - This adds an auto volume swell along
with your echoes. Dreamy.
- Sweep - Add this sweeping filter to the feedback
loop of your echoes and you’ll be glad you did!
- Ducking - The volume of your echoes is “ducked”
(reduced) while you’re playing, and increases when you
stop. This is handy to avoid mud-tone.
- Multi 1 - Uses multiple delay “taps”
to give you a rhythmic pattern of echoes.
- Multi 2 - Another multi-tap rhythmic variation.
- Ping Pong - Alternating left and right taps
- Reverse - Just like the backwards tape tricks
on our favorite albums, this flips your input signal around
and sends it back to you in reverse. Use it live, and folks
are sure to be impressed.
Tap Tempo - Put your foot to work and get your
echoes in the groove! Using the innovative ToneCore® double-action
footswitch, you can tap a couple times and have your echoes match
your tempo. Whether the effect is active or bypassed, you can
tap the footswitch lightly to set delay time. Your first two taps
establish the tempo and any additional taps will be averaged in.
Any time the Tap Tempo switch is used to alter the delay, the
tapped value overrides the current setting of the
Time knob. Whenever the Time knob is turned,
it overrides the last value entered with the Tap Tempo switch.
Echo Park’s indicator light flashes the tempo in green when
the effect is ON and amber when the effect is OFF. |
