Practical help
Common problems
Pedal does not turn on
Ensure you are using a 9V DC center-negative power adapter and that it is properly connected to the DC IN port.
No sound output
Check that your instrument cable is securely connected to the INPUT and that your amplifier is connected to the OUTPUT. Verify the pedal is switched on via the footswitch.
Before use
- Verify the power supply is 9V DC with center-negative polarity.
- Ensure the pedal is placed on a stable surface away from heat sources.
- Use 1/4 inch mono cables for both input and output connections.
- Check that the power adapter is plugged into an AC outlet of the correct voltage.
Specs in practice
- Delay Time Range (25ms-600ms)
- The duration range of the echo effect, from short slapback to longer repeats.
- Current Draw (40mA)
- The amount of electrical current the pedal requires to function; ensure your power supply can provide at least this amount.
Model compatibility
- Requires 9V DC center-negative power supply.
- Compatible with standard 1/4 inch mono instrument cables.
