EKKO EK-1 User Manual rev. 1.0.3 CONGRATULATIONS! You are now the owner of an EKKO EK-1 delay pedal! EKKO is a high-quality aluminum, standard semi-analog delay pedal with true bypass. Semi-analog means that the direct signal from your guitar is always direct through, whether the pedal is in bypass mode or not.
GETTING STARTED To get your pedal up and running you need a standard 9V DC, 2.1 mm plug, center negative power supply (minimum 250 mA). You will find the connector at the back of your pedal. The pedal supports both mono and stereo connections. Combinations of these will lead to different properties in the output signal.
