Hate long-winded manuals? Want to use your Echo Pro RIGHT NOW without
having to worry about any details? HereOs the important stuff to know:
1. Hook It Up � Plug the output of something into Echo ProOs rear panel R/Mono
Input (for mono sources) or both R/Mono and Left inputs (for stereo). Connect
the Echo Pro outputs to the input of whatever youOre feeding the echo to � guitar
amp, mixing board, etc. Chapter 3 gives details.
2. Power It Up � Turn the Input and Output knobs on your Echo Pro all the way
down, press the Power button. Light show! Make sure the volume is turned up on
whatever is receiving Echo ProOs output signal, so youOll hear what youOre doing.
3A. Crank It Up: Guitar Source � If youOre connecting a guitar directly to Echo
Pro and running straight into the front of a guitar amp, turn the Echo Pro Input
knob way up (probably to max). DonOt expect to hit the yellow or red lights on the
Echo Pro input meter; youOll only get the green. DonOt set the Echo Pro Output
level too high, since the Echo Pro can put out a much hotter signal than your guitar
can and will overload the front end of your amp if you do. The ideal setting is to be
at the same level as your guitar would be if it were plugged straight into the amp.
3B. Crank It Up: Line Level Sources � If youOre feeding Echo Pro a signal from a
line level source (keyboard, mixing board, etc.) do this: while sending a healthy
signal to your Echo Pro, turn up the Echo Pro Input knob until the input meter is
�ashing red occasionally, then back it down just a hair so you're living in the yellow
zone. Avoid hitting the red in normal use. Next, press the Bypass button on the Echo
Pro and turn up the output volume until the meter on your mixer (or whatever)
reads about the same as the input meter. Now, press the Bypass button again to let
the echo through. If you made all your connections correctly, and remembered to
turn up the Aux send and return and other levels on your board (DOoh! Been there,
done that!) you should be hearing echo.
4. Dial It Up � The Program Select knob is �velocity sesitiveO � when you turn it
slowly, the programs change one by one, but if you �ip it fast, youOll jump ahead(or
back) a number of programs at a time. See the included Preset Chart for details.
5. Read Up � Have fun for a while, then come back to this manual for more
insights into the details.... |
