Name Function

1

 DC IN jack

Use this jack to connect an AC adaptor (PSA-100S series, sold separately).

  • Use only the specified AC adaptor (sold separately: PSA-S series) and plug it into an AC outlet of the correct voltage.
  • If the AC adaptor is connected while power is on, the power supply is drawn from the AC adaptor.
2 CHECK indicator

This indicator shows whether an effect is ON/OFF, and doubles as the Battery Check indicator.

The indicator lights when an effect is ON.

  • The brightness of the CHECK indicator (LED) will dim as the battery lowers. Replace the battery when the LED is dim or does not light. For details on how to replace, refer to “Changing the Batteries.”

3

 OUTPUT (A/MONO, B) jacks

Connect these jacks to your amp or monitor speakers.

Use only the OUTPUT A/MONO jack if using this unit in mono. If you’re using a stereo setup, use the A/MONO and B jacks. When connected to both the A/MONO and B jacks, the reverb effect is heard in stereo.

4

 INPUT (A/MONO, B) jacks

Connect your guitar, bass, or effect unit here.

Use the A/MONO jack and B jack when connecting a stereo-output effects unit. Use only the A/MONO jack if you’re using a mono source.

  • The INPUT A jack also operates as the power switch. The power turns on when you insert a plug into the INPUT A jack.

5

 CTL/EXP jack
  • Using as the CTL jack
    You can connect a footswitch (FS-5U, FS-6, FS-7; sold separately) to switch between TAP and TWIST effects.
    CTL1: Press to set the REPEAT RATE in time with the tempo of the song being played (TAP).
    CTL2: Long-press to produce an aggressive sense of rotation (TWIST) that oscillates the echoed sound while you press.
  • Using as the EXP jack
    Connect an expression pedal (EV-30, Roland EV-5, etc.; sold separately) to continuously change the effect settings for the expression pedal’s pushed-up (horizontal) and pushed-down (slanted) positions.
    For more about function settings, refer to “Setting the Expression Pedal Function.”

6

 Pedal switch

Turn on/off effects. By long-pressing the switch, you can set the REPEAT RATE (tap input) in time with the tempo, or produce an aggressive sense of rotation (TWIST) that oscillates the echoed sound.Specifying the Function of the Pedal Switches

7

 [ECHO] knob Adjusts the echo volume.
8 [REVERB] knob Adjusts the volume of the reverb. Turn the [ECHO] knob all the way counterclockwise to use only reverb.

9

 [INTENSITY] knob Adjusts the echo volume (amount of feedback). Turn this all the way clockwise to make the effect oscillate.
10 [TONE] knob

Turn clockwise: emphasizes the high frequencies and cuts the low frequencies.

Turn counterclockwise: emphasizes the low frequencies and cuts the high frequencies.

11

 [REPEAT RATE] knob Adjusts the tape speed. The farther the knob is turned clockwise, the shorter the intervals become between echoes. The tone also changes along with the speed.
12 [WOW & FLUTTER] knob

Adjusts the wavering in tape speed, which occurs due to the friction resistance of the tape mechanism, tape slippage and so on.

Turning this clockwise produces more wavering.

13

 [MODE] knob

Switches between modes 1–11. The combination of three different playback heads and reverb gives you 11 types of echo.

Combining the Playback Heads and Reverb
14 CARRYOVER switch Specifies whether the effect sound is carried over (ON) or not carried over (OFF) when you turn off the effect.

  • To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.

  • Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in resistor.


Turning the power on/off

Once everything is properly connected, be sure to follow the procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.

Turning the Power On

Turn on the power to your amp last.

Turning the Power Off

Turn off the power to your amp first.

  • Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
