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.

Use this input for the second input of a stereo signal. When nothing is connected to Input 2, the signal

from Input 1 is automatically passed to Input 2.

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

Power

USB

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.
