Echo Fix EF-X2 - Understanding the Unit

USER MANUAL
PAGE 5 OF 12
A. Direct ON/OFF Switch - Switches the direct signal o or on. For traditional
echo operation (wet + dry signal), set to “ON”. For wet-only, set to “OFF”.
B. Motor ON/OFF Switch - Allows you to turn the tape drive motor on or o.
This is useful for achieving slow down/tape stop eects, or to increase tape life
when using the EF-X2 as a preamp or for reverb eect only.
C. Sound On Sound ON/OFF Switch - Activates an additional playback head,
positioned at the unit’s longest possible delay time.
D. Echo ON/OFF Switch - Bypasses the echo record circuit, allowing you to
use the unit as a preamp and reverb eect only. It is also recommended to turn
“Echo Volume” (R) all the way down when using the unit in this way.
E. Guitar/HI-Z Input - a dedicated instrument-level input with a vintage
FET EP style preamp circuit with 1MΩ input impedance. Input gain is
controlled by (M).
F. Line input - Dedicated mono line-level FET preamp with 1MΩ input
impedance that can be used for guitar, synths or any other line-level
instrument. Input gain is controlled by (N).
Please note that inputs (E) and (F) can be used simultaneously if required. With
the use of an ABY pedal (not included) you can switch between both preamp
inputs for dierent tonal options.
G. CV Remote Speed - Allows for control of the unit “speed” function using
control voltages, including any TRS expression pedal (100KΩ impedance
recommended). Connecting a CV source to this input will disable the “Speed”
control (Q).
H. CV Remote Feedback - Allows for control of the unit “feedback” function
using control voltages, including an expression pedal (100KΩ impedance
recommended). Connecting a CV source to this input will disable the
“Feedback” control (U).
