Advanced Settings

By pressing and holding the ECHO 2 or TRAILS buttons while adjusting any of the pedal's knobs, you can fine-tune
various functions. We recommend leaving these settings as they are unless you understand how they work at a deep
level as any changes can alter the overall sound of the pedal.

ECHO 2
HARD OR SOFT FLASHING
Rotate counterclockwise for soft-flashing ECHO
2 and bypass LEDs or clockwise for hard flashing
LEDs.
SYMMETRICAL REGENERATION
By default, this pedal employs symmetrical
regeneration to ensure that dual echo signals
set to different rates fade out at the same
time. To disable this feature, rotate the knob
counterclockwise. TRAILS LED will flash to
confirm.
STEREO MODE
Rotate clockwise to engage stereo mode or
counterclockwise to disengage it. ECHO 2 and
TRAILS LEDS will flash to confirm.
ECHO 2 REGEN
Rotate clockwise to increase the number of
secondary signal's echoes in relation to the
primary signal's regeneration or counterclockwise
to decrease it.
ECHO 2 RHYTHMIC DIVISION
Rotate to select rhythmic division of secondary
echo signal. Note: When setting ECHO 2
rhythmic division to 1/8 and dotted 1/8 (DIVISION
knob fully clockwise), the division will instead be
1/16.
ECHO 2 MIX
Rotate clockwise to increase the mix of the
secondary echo signal relative to the first or
counterclockwise to decrease it.
RESTORE DEFAULTS
To return all parameters to their default settings, simply
press and hold ECHO 2 and TRAILS buttons for five
seconds—the main LED will flash to confirm.
TRAILS
1/4 NOTE VISUAL REFERENCE
Rotate clockwise to make TRAILS LED flash at
primary 1/4 note tempo or counterclockwise for
a solid LED.
MODULATON RATE/DEPTH
By default, the MOD knob controls both the
depth and rate of the modulation effect, but each
can be adjusted independently. To adjust the
modulation depth, hold down the TRAILS button
and rotate the MOD knob as needed. To adjust
the modulation rate, release the TRAILS button,
and rotate the MOD knob as needed. The MOD
knob will continue to function as a rate control
until default settings are restored through a
factory reset (see RESTORE DEFAULTS section
below).
HIGH CUT FILTER
Rotate clockwise to reduce high-end frequency
range. The cut-off frequency can be adjusted
from 12kHz fully counterclockwise to 2kHz
at noon to 200Hz fully clockwise.
REVERB DECAY
Rotate clockwise to increase reverb decay or
counterclockwise to decrease it. Making this
adjustment will disconnect this setting from
being controlled by the DELAY knob until default
settings are restored through a factory reset (see
RESTORE DEFAULTS section below).
COMPRESSION THRESHOLD
Rotate clockwise to raise compression threshold
or counterclockwise to lower it. Midpoint is the
default setting.
REVERB MIX
Rotate clockwise to increase the mix of reverb
or counterclockwise to decrease it.
