Guide
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Slap-Back Echo delay pedal! The Slap-
Back Echo is a modern day update of the rare and classic Electro-Harmonic Slap
Back Echo from 1978. A Gain knob, Blend knob, and Time switch allow you to
tailor the Slap-Back’s all-analog echo to enhance your tone from subtle
doubling to intense bathtub reflections.
The compact size allows it to easily squeeze onto crowded pedalboards.
POWER SUPPY REQUIREMENTS
- Voltage: 9VDC
- Current: 15mA

This device comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonic 9.6DC-200 power supply.

Power supplies rated for less than 25mA can cause the device to act unreliably
Controls and Connections
-
GAIN Knob The GAIN knob boosts your dry signal before it hits the BLEND knob and echo circuitry.
As you turn GAIN clockwise, your signal gets louder.
The GAIN knob increases your signal level by up to 20dB, which is handy for added volume during solos and important riffs. -
BLEND Knob The BLEND knob controls the wet/dry mix at the output jack.
With the knob fully counterclockwise, the signal is 100% dry.
Set the knob fully clockwise and your output is all echo.
Please note: the dry and wet signals are both boosted by the GAIN knob.
The output signal is boosted even with BLEND set to 100% dry. -
TIME Switch The TIME switch allows you to select between three different delay times:
UP: 100ms
MIDDLE: 65ms
DOWN: 45ms -
FOOTSWITCH and STATUS LED The footswitch engages or bypasses the effect.
