Electro-Harmonix EDDY - User Manual

EDDY
Analog Vibrato & Chorus
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Eddy! The Eddy
uses an all analog signal path for classic, bucket-brigade based vibrato and
chorus tones. Vibrato is a modulated pitch effect, while chorus mixes in your
dry signal to create a lush doubling effect. The Eddy features a variety of
unique options to make these effects more expressive, such as envelope and
expression pedal control over the rate and depth of the modulation. Further
options such as LFO shape warping and a tone control expand the
possibilities of the Eddy, making it a versatile yet classic modulation pedal.
- EDDY QUICK SETUP-
Plug the 9VDC adapter into the jack on the top of the Eddy. The unit must
be powered to pass signal, even in bypass. Connect an instrument cable
from your instrument into the INPUT jack. Connect an instrument cable
between the OUTPUT jack and a suitable amplifier. Click the footswitch to
engage the Eddy. The right, white LED lights to indicate that the unit is
active. Start with all knobs at the center (12 o’clock) position. The top-left
VIBRATO/CHORUS switch determines which effect you are using. Use the
RATE knob to speed up or slow down the effect. Use the DEPTH knob to
increase or decrease the intensity of the effect. These are the most basic
controls for the Eddy, other controls and options are explained starting on
the next page of this manual.
WARNING: Your Eddy comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-
200 power supply. The Eddy requires 40mA at 9VDC with a center negative
plug. Use of the wrong adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity may
damage the device and void the warranty. Do not exceed 10.5VDC on the
power plug. Power supplies rated for less than 40mA will cause the Eddy to
act unreliably.
