A DIMENSION WORTH GETTING LOST IN. Echolution 3 is a multi-tap stereo modulation delay offering a myriad of sound design options including reverse, jump, pong, modulation tempo sync, variable low pass filter, flexible signal routing and comprehensive MIDI control. Delay times ranging from 100ms to 5 seconds can be dialed in using the Time knob or via Tap Tempo using the left footswitch. A second delay tap can be set to the same length or a fraction of the main delay time to create rhythmic echoes.
EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS 4
Knobs Time Sets the length of the delay line. Turning the Time knob overrides the tap tempo setting. Pressing Tap overrides the Time knob setting. Sub-divisions of the delay time can be selected using a small push button located to the left of the Time knob. Sub-division values are indicated by three LEDs located above the Time knob. The three selections are: 1, ¾ and golden ratio (.382) subdivision settings.
Tempo Footswitch The primary function of the left footswitch is tap tempo. Pressing Tap sets the length of the delay and overrides the current Time knob setting. Turning the Time knob overrides the tap tempo setting. Preset Select A long press of the Tempo switch enters Preset Select mode. Once you have entered the Preset Select mode, the currently selected red preset LED will blink. A short press on the Tap Tempo switch will move up one preset and a long press will move down one preset.
Rear Panel I/O In 1 Use this input for mono sound sources. In 2 Use this input for the second input of a stereo signal. When nothing is connected to Input 2, the signal from Input 1 is automatically passed to Input 2. Out 1 Main audio output. This jack expects a standard (TS) ¼” instrument cable. Amp, mixer, or DI goes here. Out 2 Second audio output. Use Out 2 for stereo instruments or when you want to split a mono signal so that it can be output to two separate destinations.
Remote Switch The Echolution 3 is compatible with a single, dual, or triple footswitch momentary remote using a TRS (balanced 1/4”) cable. The Remote switch can be used to toggle Reverse (tip to sleeve) and Jump (ring to sleeve) as well as a Freeze (tip and ring to sleeve) functions. The Remote switch can also be made to control Preset Select by pushing and holding the preset selector switch during boot up. See the complete list of boot options below.
MIDI: The Echolution 3 is compatible with ¼” MIDI input. Echolution 3 will automatically follow MIDI clock signals as a means of setting the delay time. Echolution 3 will also obey MIDI preset change commands. MIDI CC control of every onboard function is available, along with several “hidden” features, not available on the face of the unit. The E3 offers multiple “boot options” that allow you to change the pedal’s behavior in a variety of different ways.

PRESETS Echolution 3 comes pre-loaded with four diverse presets designed to illustrate the breadth of the pedal’s sound design capabilities. These can be manipulated or replaced at any time by using the Preset Select button. Dotted Eighth Rhythm This classic echo effect has been used on countless hit records to create a bouncing rhythm that keeps one’s self in time. Tap tempo quarter notes and enjoy the syncopation. Turn the Mod knob clockwise for additional syrup.
Pitch Shifting Multi-Tap This hyper-active dual delay features the E3’s unique Jump effect which sends one of the delay taps cascading up in octaves on every repeat. The Tone control is rolled back to 11-o-clock to smooth out the top end, adding velvety ambience to this rhythmic, double-time effect. Reverse Vibrato Swell This psychedelic tape-reverse sound uses a heavy dose of high-speed LFO modulation to wobble the pitch of the delay signal as it plays backwards.
