FAQs

What is the maximum delay time on the #1 Echo pedal?

The Electro-Harmonix #1 Echo Digital Delay offers a maximum delay time of up to two seconds.

Does this pedal work with stereo signals?

No, the #1 Echo is a mono-in, mono-out pedal and is not designed for stereo applications.

What type of power supply does it require?

It requires a 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter with a center-negative barrel connector. It can also be powered by a 9V battery.

What is the difference between the Feedback and Blend controls?

The Feedback control determines the number of delay repeats and how quickly they fade. The Blend control adjusts the volume balance between the original (dry) signal and the delayed (wet) signal.

What does 'True Bypass' mean?

True bypass means that when the pedal is disengaged (off), your instrument's signal passes directly through the pedal to your amplifier without any alteration, preserving your original tone.

Can I use a standard 9V power supply with this pedal?

While it accepts a 9V battery, it is recommended to use the specific 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter as indicated. Using a standard 9VDC adapter might result in underpowering or incorrect performance.

Troubleshooting

Pedal does not turn on.

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the pedal and a working outlet. If using a battery, check that it is installed correctly and has charge. Verify you are using the correct 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter.

No sound or weak signal when the effect is engaged.

Check all cable connections between your instrument, the pedal, and the amplifier. Ensure the Blend control is not set to its minimum position. Make sure the effect is actually engaged (LED is on).

Excessive noise or hum.

Try a different power source or a different power adapter. Ensure instrument cables are in good condition. Test the pedal in a different signal chain to rule out interference from other pedals.

Delay effect is distorted or unclear.

Reduce the Feedback control to decrease the number of repeats. Adjust the Blend control to find a better balance between the dry and wet signals. Ensure the input signal level is not too high.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Produces a desirable warm, analog-like echo decay.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect your instrument to the input jack using a standard 1/4" instrument cable.
  2. Connect the output jack to your amplifier or the input of another effects pedal using a standard 1/4" instrument cable.
  3. Connect the included 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter to the power jack on the pedal.
  4. Use the footswitch to engage or bypass the effect. The LED will illuminate when the effect is active.

Compatibility:

  • Audio: Mono input, Mono output.
  • Power: Requires a 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter with a center-negative barrel connector. Standard 9VDC adapters may not function correctly or could damage the unit. A 9V battery can also be used.

Care:

  • Keep the pedal clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Protect the pedal from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
  • When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
  • Ensure the power adapter is correctly oriented and securely connected.
