Controls & Jacks
1. BLEND Adjusts the output mix from 100% dry to
100% wet.
2. DELAY Controls the delay time, ranging from
8ms to 3s.
3. FILTER Applies an adjustable low-pass or high-
pass filter to the delay line. Set FILTER to the center
or noon position to disable the filters. Turn FILTER
counterclockwise to place a low-pass filter on the
delay effect, giving the Canyon Echo a sound sim-
ilar to an analog delay. Turn FILTER clockwise to
place a high-pass filter on the delay repeats, for an
effect reminiscent of a tape delay. The further you
turn FILTER in either direction, the more filtering is
applied to the effect.
4. FDBK Controls how many repeats the Canyon
Echo generates. At minimum you get one repeat.
At maximum, the repeats are nearly endless.
NOTE: the filter is placed in the feedback path of the delay
and filters out more signal with each repeat, limiting the
maximum repeats at more extreme FILTER settings.
5. TAP DIV Button When the delay time is set by
tap-tempo, the TAP DIV button sets the tap-division:
Green – 1/8 Note equal to half your tap time
Orange – Dotted 1/8 Note equal to 3/4
your tap time
Red – 1/4 Note equal to your tap time
6. Footswitch and Status LED The footswitch
engages or bypasses the effect. The LED indicates
the selected tap division. In bypass mode, the LED
is off. The LED blinks at the latest tap reading
when the delay time is set by tap tempo.
7. Input Jack Impedance: 2.2MΩ, Max In: +1.5 dBu
8. Output Jack Impedance: 680Ω, Max Out: +2.1 dBu
9. Power Jack Current draw: 100mA at 9.0VDC
Tap Tempo
The footswitch can be used to set the delay time.
Press and release the footswitch at least twice, in
time with your music, to set the tempo. The LED
blinks at the tempo to confirm the delay time is set
by tap-tempo. To turn off tap-tempo, simply turn the
DELAY knob to reset the delay time. You can com-
pletely disable tap-tempo by following these steps:
1. Power down the Canyon Echo.
2. Press and hold the footswitch while reapplying
power.
3. Continue to hold the footswitch for about two
seconds, the LED will slowly blink through all
three colors twice.
4. Release the footswitch; tap-tempo is now disabled.
5. Repeat this process to re-enable tap-tempo.
Tap-tempo disable is recalled through power
cycles so you can set it and forget it.
