Dual Echo Tweak
Pressing the Tweak button while in Dual Echo mode launches the Tweak menu showing the
associated tweak parameters for Dual mode. You’ll notice that there are a few additional
parameters but that a few are the same as in Single Echo Mode.
Here’s a rundown of what’s new:
Accent 1 and 2
You’ll notice that instead of one Accent control there are now two – for each echo channel.
Feedback Mix
Normally, the two echo channels in Dual Echo mode are completely independent. The Feedback
Mix control allows some of the output of Echo 1 to feedback into Echo2, and vice-verse. As you
increase the value of the Feedback Mix knob, an increasing amount of Echo 1 will be fed into
Echo 2 and an increasing amount of Echo 2 is fed into Echo 1.
At the exact middle setting (12 o’clock”), equal amounts of Echo 1 and Echo 2 will be fed into
both channels. This is a great way to get dense, reverb-like echo sounds. At the maximum
setting, Echo 1 will get all of its feedback from Echo 2, and vice-verse. This is referred to as
“cross” mixing and provides for some really unique cross-pollinated and syncopated delay
sounds, depending on the settings for the two Echo channels.
Keep in mind that front panel Feedback knob has to be turned up some to hear the effect of the
Feedback Mix (duh!) As we have mentioned a gazillion times there is no right or wrong sound
here and you should use your ears to judge what sounds best.
