USEFUL INFORMATION
ECHOFET BABY is an echo effect created to revive the
characteristics of the sonority of the legendary ECHOREC
BINSON. Totally re-engineered to make it more suitable for today's
needs ECHOFET BABY not only maintains the sound foundations
of its predecessor but improves several aspects.
!
The sound: The path of the totally analog signal has been
assigned to a particular and innovative pre-amplification circuit
which guarantees a very high linearity useful to capture every
nuance of sound while keeping intact those characteristics of
spatiality and three-dimensionality that have always distinguished
the mythical and immortal ECHOREC BINSON.
The delay times are adapted to today's needs by increasing the
range from 60 to 680 mS.
The maintenance disappears as there are no moving parts inside
that periodically must be cleaned and lubricated.
The size and shape of the pedal allow it to be inserted into any
guitar pedalboard, granting qualities of convenient portability.
The Hi / Lo selectable input level combined with the excellent
buffer makes the unit free to be compatible with most of the
instruments, amplifiers and effects on the market.
As a result of my experience in the repair and customization of
various BINSONs, I would like to point out that even though there
were slight differences in units such as over time and with normal
wear and tear, they made each piece unique. The wear and the
ovalization of the rubberized transmission wheel generated an
irregularity in the motion that in the audio was transformed like a
particular kind of modulation. In order to replicate this also this
particular sound we have included a control called "degree of
wear" that simulates the effect.
ECHOFET BABY offers a different way of conceiving the echo
effect. The magic in reproducing a three-dimensionality and
richness of sound makes ECHOFET a "creative machine",
able to enrich your sound and thus offer you a new and
exciting experience.
WARRANTY TERMS
The guarantee of CICOGNANI ENGINEERING products is two
years from the purchase data except for the parts subject to wear
and tear from the switches, buttons, relays that is one year. The
thermionic valves, indicator lights, wiring cables are guaranteed for
three months. Security is not a problem, but it's just a way of
thinking, managing things to do and not thinking about presented
to the carrier); damage from incorrect connections, with non-
conforming modifications (altered / modified), with interfacing to
malfunctioning devices.
The responsibility of CICOGNANI ENGINEERING is limited to
repairing the product or replacing it. (Replacement at our choice)
CICOGNANI ENGINEERING will not be liable for damages
resulting from failure to use the product, interrupted operation,
commercial, incidental, consequential, transport or unsuitable
packaging.
How to receive assistance: Send an email request to
[email protected] in order to make agreements on how and
where to send the product. The product must be sent together with
a copy of the receipt / sales receipt together with which a
description of the claimed fault is appreciated. I recommend to
make a packaging suitable to well protect the product not including
manuals, cables, effects or various accessories. The costs of labor
and material under warranty will be charged to the CICOGNANI
ENGINEERING.
Shipping and packing costs are the responsibility of the purchaser.
THE WARRANTY HAS VALIDITY IF THE PRODUCT IS A COPY
OF THE RECEIPT OF SALE IN A WAY THAT ATTEND THE
DATE OF PURCHASE

CAUTION!! Make sure to check the power supply connection as per
technical specifications from 9 to 12VDC (central negative).
The product is designed to be powered from outside. Do not
open the device, below it is not designed for any internal battery.
POWER: Power input 9 / 12VDC (negative tip) 200mA
INPUT: High / low impedance input with selectable level (+ 4 / -10db)
OUT: Main output with low impedance. This output integrates all the
functionalities of the unit.
WET OUT: Signal “all effect”. This output excludes the "Volume echo"
control as it precludes an external mix usage. This output is designed
to let out all the purity of the effect which can be combined with the
direct signal in combination with external mixers, valve mixers present
on high-end amplifiers, etc.
All input / output connections are type: 6.3mm mono jack.
