MANECO - FILTER ECO II

delay / looper

"A combination of Maneco's 32 second delay/looper (64 seconds at "half speed") with a full Korg MS20 filter section, which has it's own modulation controls as well. Handwired in Uruguay."

"TRIP-HOP

Bypass

Rec/play

Hold/overdub

Three pots:

Time/pitch

Blend

Feedback

Four toggle switches:

1-Reverse 2-Lo-fi sound 3-Double/half pitch/time 4-Memory protect

Max time is around one minute, loop is saved at power off. Basic usage is as follows:

For recording:

Check/bypass led must be "on"

The record/play switch has an associated bi-color led - it's green in play, and red in record. Press the record footswitch once, it starts recording. Press it again, and what you recorded starts looping. If you want to overdub (sound on sound) press the overdub footswitch.

If you turn the pedal off by bypassing it, the loop starts playing from the beginning when you press bypass again.

For using it as a delay, you use the rec/play switch to tap the time, and the overdub footswitch must be in on mode.. Repeats are controlled by the feedback pot, and it self oscillates.

You can do smooth pitch shifts by turning the time/pitch pot. It also modifies the length of the loop or delay.

The lo-fi switch provides a kind of filtering, similar in sound to an analog delay.

The memory protect switch avoids recording or overdubing.

The reverse toggle switch makes your loop play backwards. If you record with the reverse engaged, it starts looping in reverse as soon as you go into play mode. Overdub over a reversed loop plays forward, if you change the reverse switch position, then the direction is changed (overdubbed plays backwards, original plays forward)."
