L/R Offset

The L/R Offset is used to control the stereo imaging of EchoBoy, by adding a small delay
difference between left and right channels. This parameter is adjusted in milliseconds, and has
a maximum value of 25 milliseconds. By default, this parameter is set to 8 milliseconds, which is
a value that creates a nice wide stereo image. Smaller settings of this parameter will produce a
tighter rhythmic feel, but may introduce some phasing effects to your sound. Larger settings
will tend to produce less phasing problems, but will produce a looser rhythmic feel.

In order to hear the effect the L/R offset control, the Width control (described above), must be
turned up.

Dual Echo

Dual Echo Mode is a lot like Single Echo Mode – except that you now get two independent echo
channels. The Echo 1 section controls the left channel echo, and the Echo 2 section controls the
right channel echo.

You can have one channel free wheeling (based on time) and NOT synced to Tempo while the
other channel IS tempo-synced and set to a specific note value of your choosing. This allows
you to create all sorts of different creative delay combinations.

Keep in mind that the other controls; Feedback, High Cut, Saturation and the like DO affect both
channels the same, regardless of whether the input is mono or stereo.
