ECHO FX 96 ANALOG DELAY A Harman International Company
WHAT THE FX96 DOES The FX96 Echo Fx is DOD’s latest addition to its arsenal of great delay effects. The FX96 is an Analog Delay pedal that offers tape delay simulation at your feet. No longer will you have to haul (and handle with care) the bulky Echo tape machines of the past to the gig .And if the “worn-out tape” characteristics of the old Echo machines is the sound your looking for, the FX 96 gives a Tape Quality control for changing the tonal quality of the tape emulation.
CONTROLS MIX (DRY/TAPE) The MIX (DRY/TAPE) knob controls the mix level between the Dry and Effect level of the FX 96 Echo Fx. Turning the knob all of the way down, produces all dry signal. Turning it all of the way up, produces a 100% wet effect. DELAY TIME: The DELAY TIME knob controls the delay time of the FX 96 Echo Fx. Turning the knob all of the way up produces up to approximatley 800 milliseconds of delay time.
OPERATION OF THE FX96 The FX96 can be operated in front of an amplifier or in an effects loop. Since the order of the effects is very important, they should be ordered as follows: 1) compression effects (DOD FX84), 2) Wah/volume and envelope filters (DOD FX17, FX25), 3) Distortion effects or preamps (DOD FX102, FX69B), 4) EQ’s (DOD FX40), 5) chorus, flanging, phasing, vibrato (DOD FX75C), 6) Delay and reverb effects (DOD DFX98, FX 96). To set up your own sound with the FX96, set all controls at 12 o’clock.
On the following pages, some examples of different types of sounds are described, along with graphic representations of how to set the knobs. Since good (or bad) guitar sounds are a subjective matter, use these examples as starting points to create your own sounds that meet your specific tastes, or lack thereof. SLAP BACK DELAY Use this setting when you you require a good old fashioned slap back delay. This is an ideal setting for country guitar.
IMPORTANT NOTES • The FX96 battery is in use whenever the INPUT jack is plugged in. If you are not using the FX96, be sure to unplug the cable from the INPUT jack. This will prevent unnecessary battery drain. • Remove the battery whenever the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent possible damage due to leaking battery fluids. • If the FX96 fails to switch in or out or the LED indicator stays lit, the battery needs to be replaced.
