FCC COMPLIANCE
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.

#1 ECHO
Digital Delay
Congratulations on your purchase of the #1 Echo! The #1 Echo is a result of
Electro-Harmonix’s long experience in designing world-class delay lines. It
presents you with musical, accurate and warm delays that surpass the very
best performance instruments on the market. Reading these instructions
carefully will ensure that you will get the most out of your #1 Echo.
-THEORY OF OPERATION-
The #1 Echo is an instrument that will echo any note or audio event that you
play through it. You can control the time duration that will be applied
between the played note and the echoed note. The echo will sound exactly
the same as the original. The delay time range is from 10ms up to 2
seconds. Additionally you can choose the number of times that you want the
echo repeated. This is known as feedback, which has a dedicated control.
As you start to use the #1 Echo, invest some time to experiment with the
controls and how they interact. You will discover very interesting possibilities
including double tracking (where the notes are a little offset) all the way to
long delays that allow you to continuously play new lines on top of previous
events. The longer the duration, the more possibilities you have to add new
notes to the original. As you add more repeats with a longer duration you
can build up complex textures that can be very effective.
WARNING: Use only the US96DC-200BI adapter that the #1 Echo
comes supplied with. Do not use any other AC adapters. Using other AC
adapters, even those made by Electro-Harmonix, could cause harm to the
unit, the adapter or you. The #1 Echo does not use batteries.

- CONTROLS-
Blend Knob - When rotated completely counter clockwise, only the original,
dry signal may be heard. As you rotate clockwise, the delay signal is mixed
with your dry original signal. The farther you rotate, the louder the delay
signal becomes. When rotated to the far right position, only the delay signal
is heard. Think of the Blend knob as your balance control between dry and
wet signals.
Delay Knob –This knob adjusts the delay time of your echo. When rotated
to the full counter clockwise position, the echo will be set to the shortest
delay time of 10 mS. When the knob is turned to the full clockwise position,
the echo will be set to the longest delay time of 2 seconds.
Feedback knob –When turned completely counter clockwise, feedback is
off and you will hear only the first echo. As the Feedback knob is rotated
clockwise, you will hear more repeats. At the full clockwise position the
number of repeats will be so great the #1 Echo will sound like it is looping
the delayed signal but it is not, the signal will eventually fade away. This is
very effective for overdubbing parts upon repeated parts. Multipart phrases
and sonic textures are created this way. At the very longest settings care
must be taken as some degradation of tone will occur over an extended
period of time.
Activity LED - When the LED is lit; the #1 Echo is in effect mode. When the
LED is off, the #1 Echo is in True Bypass mode. The Footswitch toggles
between effect and bypass modes.
INPUT Jack –This ¼” jack is the audio input to the #1 Echo. The input
impedance presented at this jack is 2M.
OUTPUT Jack –This ¼” jack is the audio output from the #1 Echo. When
the #1 Echo is in Bypass mode, the OUTPUT jack is connected directly to the
INPUT jack.
9V Power Jack –Connect the AC Adapter’s plug to the 9V Power Jack. The
AC Adapter must be able to supply 9VDC at 200mA. The plug’s inner ring
must be negative, the outer ring positive.
