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 le footswitch. A second delay tap can be set to the
same length or a fraction of the main delay time to create rhythmic echoes. The ¾ fraction creates
a dotted eight note delay, while the Golden fraction uses the sacred geometry of the Golden Ratio
(.382) as the multiplier for the second tap.
The multi-tap settings can be even further enhanced by the stereo ping pong effect, which causes
the different delay taps to switch sides on each repeat. Store up to 4 presets, unlock hidden
features with the Universal Remote footswitch, and design yet unheard delay lines.
Runs on standard 9VDC.

EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS

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 le 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. Pushing and holding the small push
button switch will turn on a second delay tap that can be set to any of the three sub-division values.
The second tap is indicated by a blinking LED. Once the second tap is activated, press the small push
button switch to advance the second tap to a different sub-division. It is possible to have both taps
overlap. Push and hold the switch again to turn off the second tap.
Sets the volume level of the delay signal.
Sets the amount of regeneration in the delay line. Turning this knob fully clockwise will cause the
delay line to self-oscillate.
The function of the Mod knob is selectable with a small push button located above the Mod knob. The
three selections provide control of Speed, Depth, and Tone. Speed sets the rate of LFO modulation
of the delay line. Depth sets the amount of LFO modulation in the delay line. Tone sets the cutoff
frequency of the low pass filter in the delay line. When toggling between these three functions,
the selected parameter will not change in value until the knob is turned. Pushing and holding the
small push button switch will synchronize the LFO speed to the tap tempo value. The default is 1:1.
Adjusting the Speed knob when the LFO is synced will change the ratio between the LFO speed and
tap tempo. Available ratios are: 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1 (noon), 2:1, 3:1, 4:1. Push and hold the switch again to
turn LFO sync off. The Speed function does not have to be selected in order to turn LFO tempo
sync on and off.
Pressing the Engage footswitch toggles between bypass and effect on.

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. Once the desired preset is
queued, pressing the Engage foot switch will activate it. When the footswitch is used to load a preset,
the bypass status of the effect will not change.
Presets:
The 4 LEDs above the Engage footswitch indicate which preset is currently selected. Pressing the
push button switch above the Engage switch cycles through the 4 available presets. When a new
preset is selected, the corresponding LED will blink. Press and hold the push button switch (or hit
the Engage footswitch) to load the selected preset. To save a preset aer making changes, press
and hold the push button switch. This action will cause the current preset LED to double-blink. If you
want to save to over the current preset, press and hold the push button switch to save. If you want
to save to a different preset, press the push button switch until the desired LED is double blinking.
Then press and hold the push button switch to save. If you want to exit the preset save without saving
anything, press either the Engage footswitch or Tempo footswitch.
The Tempo footswitch can be assigned to perform alternate, Special FX functions by pressing the
push button switch located above the Tempo footswitch. Pressing the small push button switch will
cycle through the alternate footswitch functions. Once the desired function is selected, pressing
the Tempo footswitch will turn this function on and off. When a Special FX function is activated,
the corresponding LED will flash. Once a Special FX function is activated, you can still change the
functionality of the Tempo footswitch by pressing the push button switch.
Reverse makes the delay line go backwards.
Jump makes the delay line jump up 1 octave. When Jump is activated, only the first tap will change
pitch. If the second tap is turned on, it will remain at the normal pitch.
Pong is activated independently with a push and hold on the small push button switch. Pong causes
the echoes to alternate between the le and right channels and is meant to be used with a stereo,
two amp setup. The Pong function can be turned on and off regardless of which function is selected
for the Tempo footswitch. Pong cannot be activated by the Tempo footswitch.

The primary function of the le 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.

Echolution 3 runs on 9VDC at 100mA power using a standard 2.1mm negative tip power supply.

Connect a micro USB cable here to perform firmware updates (if available) to the Echolution 3 using
the firmware update tool available from pigtronix.com.

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.
Engage Switch = Trails - Disconnects delay line input but leaves delay line output connected in bypass.
Tap Switch = Global Rap - Tempo does not change when selecting a new preset.
Reverse Switch = Wet / Dry - Sums both inputs and routes them to one output while routing the delay
line to the other output. *Note - This mode overrides Dry Kill and Phase Invert.
Modulation Switch = Phase Invert - Inverts the phase of the delay line in one channel only.
Subdivisions Switch = Dry Kill - Eliminates clean pass through audio. Delay line only.
Preset = Remote Switch control mode - Toggles remote switch functionality between Preset Selection
and Special FX (Reverse, Jump, Freeze).
Special FX Mode:
Tip = Reverse
Ring = Jump
Both = Freeze. This creates a static loop from whatever material is in the delay line.
Preset Mode:
Tip = Preset 1 / 2
Ring = Preset 3 / 4
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.

Setting the Echolution 3 MIDI Channel:
To set the MIDI channel on the Echolution 3, Press and Hold the Preset and Special FX buttons during
boot up. The LED in the lop le corner will blink, indicating that the Echolution 3 is set to receive MIDI
on Channel 1. Press the Tap footswitch to advance the channel number. The total number of LEDs lit
will indicate the MIDI channel that is selected. Press the Engage footswitch to select the appropriate
MIDI channel. The unit will then finish booting up.
MIDI Preset Change:
To load a particular preset, simply send a program change command with the desired preset number.
Echolution 3 will load that number plus one as the preset.
MIDI Quantization:
When MIDI Synced, tapping a new delay length will quantize the new length to an integer number of
MIDI quarter notes (i.e. you can change the delay time while remaining MIDI Synced). To get back to
the original delay time, double tap the Tempo switch.
