Electro-Harmonix Epitome Manual

MULTI-EFFECT PEDAL featuring
MICRO POG, STEREO ELECTRIC
MISTRESS, & HOLY GRAIL PLUS
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Epitome multi-effect
pedal. The Epitome combines three of the most popular and advanced Electro-
Harmonix pedals: the Micro POG octave generator, the Stereo Electric Mistress
flanger/chorus pedal, and the Holy Grail Plus reverb unit.
The effects on the Epitome can function independently, together, or can interact
with each other in a unique manner by engaging SHIMMER mode. The three
separate footswitches, one for each section, allow for individual control over
which effect is on or off. Each effect has its own dedicated knobs and switches,
all of which are tweakable at any moment; there are no menus or hidden
settings to scroll through.
Shimmer mode reroutes the Epitome's effects in a way that would not be
possible with the three separate effects pedals. In Shimmer mode, the octaves
from the Micro POG are separated from the Dry signal allowing the Holy Grail
Plus to only reverberate the octaves. Additionally, Flerb mode in the Holy Grail
Plus changes to an echo effect, where the Micro POG is placed in the feedback
path of the delay to create echoes that change octaves with each repeat.
Using the Epitome is like having three separate effects pedals on your
pedalboard, without the need for additional cables or separate power supplies,
all in the footprint of one medium sized pedal. The Epitome's footprint is 5.75" x
4.75".
WARNING: Your Epitome comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix
9.6DC-200BI power supply (same as used by Boss
Volts DC 200mA). The Epitome requires 185mA at 9VDC with a center
negative plug. The Epitome does not take batteries. Using the wrong
adapter may damage your unit and void the warranty.
