Advanced Operation

FOOTSWITCH: BYPASS & TAP TEMPO
1. By default, the FOOTSWITCH toggles the pedal on
or off in a true bypass system. When Trails Mode is
engaged, buffered bypassing is used.
2. The FOOTSWITCH can also be used as a tap switch to
set the tempo of your primary echoes. Press and hold for
1 second to engage tap tempo mode, and then tap your
desired rhythm.
USE AN EXPRESSION PEDAL TO BLEND
BETWEEN TWO SETTING CONFIGURATIONS
An expression pedal such as the DVP5 Volume (X)
Pedal can be used to toggle and sweep between two
different setting configurations. First, set the CTR switch
to its TAP/EXP (left) position. Next, run a TRS cable from
the expression pedal to the Joshua Ambient Echo's
CTR jack. Set rocker to its heel-down position. Adjust
knobs and set mode buttons desired. Move rocker to its
toe-down position. Adjust knobs and mode buttons as
desired to a different setting configuration. Moving the
rocker back and forth will transition smoothly between
the sounds created by the two settings.
USE AN OFF-BOARD TAP SWITCH TO
CONTROL TEMPO
An off-board tap switch such as the M231 MXR TRS Split
+ Tap can be used to control the tempo of echoes. First,
set the CTR switch to its TAP/EXP (left) position Next,
run a standard mono patch cable from the tap switch's
output jack to the Joshua Ambient Echo's CTR jack.
While the Joshua Ambient Echo is on, tap your desired
rhythm onto the MXR TRS Split + Tap.
FREEZE MODE
While using an off-board tap switch as described above,
holding down the off-board switch will freeze the echo
lines at max feedback and prevent any new signal from
engaging with the echo until the switch is released.
STEREO OUTPUT
To operate in stereo mode, run a TRS splitter cable from
the Joshua Ambient Echo's OUTPUT jack to your chosen
inputs. Press and hold the ECHO 2 button, and rotate
the VOICE knob fully clockwise to select stereo output
mode. ECHO 2 and TRAILS buttons will flash to confirm.

™
To change back to mono output mode, follow the same
steps, and rotate the VOICE knob counterclockwise.
The CTR jack can also be used as a right channel audio
output. Set the CTR switch to its right position, and run
an instrument cable from the Joshua Ambient Echo's CTR
jack to a separate output source. The ring connection on
the OUT jack will be muted.
