The Echoplex Looper
The Echoplex Looper
The Echoplex Looper provides independent recording and playback on three tracks, as well
as overdubbing (sound on sound recording) on two of the tracks.

Activate the Echoplex Looper

1. Verify that Firebird X, Pedalboard, and Switchboard are turned on and connected.
2. Press the Upper Right footswitch. If the display shows Looper, proceed to the next step.
If it shows Effect, press the Upper Right footswitch again.
3. Verify that the display's lower left shows L6 Looper.
The looper has three tracks. Track 1 is the master track. Recording on Track 1 sets the loop
length for all three tracks. You must record on Track 1 before recording on Tracks 2 or 3.
Note: Recording on Track 1 deletes any previous recordings on any tracks.
Note: We'll refer to the switches by the legends on the Switchboard mylar overlay.

Record on Track 1

1. To start recording, double-click footswitch 1--7. Recording starts immediately.
2. To stop recording and start playing the loop you recorded, press footswitch 1--7. Note:
the maximum loop length is 20 seconds; after 20 seconds the loop will stop recording and
automatically start playing.
3. To stop playing or recording on Track 1, press footswitch 4--A. To stop all tracks from
playing, double-click footswitch 4--A.

Record on Tracks 2 and 3

After recording on Track 1, you can now record on Tracks 2 and 3.
1. If Track 1 isn't playing, press footswitch 1--7. Then, double-click footswitch 2--8. Track 2
will start recording the next time the Track 1 loop returns to the beginning.
2. Track 2 will stop recording at the end of the loop, or if you press on footswitch 5--B. The
track will automatically start playing the next time the Track 1 loop returns to the
beginning.
3. Recording on Track 3 works just like recording on Track 2, except the start footswitch is
now 3--9 and the stop footswitch is 6--Mute.
Note: You can stop and start each Track independently through their respective track
buttons.
