From The Chairman
I would like to personally thank you
for selecting one of our effects pedals.
Clean only with dry cloth.
For over 40 years the Marshall name has been synonymous
with the greatest guitar tones in music. We have worked hand
in hand with guitarists from all levels throughout the world to
maintain and improve that special ingredient, ‘The Marshall
Sound.’
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

Our range of effects pedals gives the opportunity to augment
the classic Marshall tone to add Marshall character to a guitar
set-up.
All our pedals are made with the same utmost attention to
quality, in both materials and manufacture as our world
renowned amplifiers, cabinets and combos, in order to provide
you with optimum reliability and tone.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
I would like to wish you every success with all of your musical
endeavours and also your new Marshall effects pedal, which I
am sure you will find a pleasure to play for many years to
come.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Marshall
Amplification plc could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Keep these instructions.

Mod Filter Sweeping across your sound, synced to your delay
time, a modulating filter adds movement and depth
to the echoes.
3. 'Out 1 / Left' Jack Socket - Passive Bypass
Out 1 is connected to a passive bypass circuit. The passive
bypass ensures complete tonal integrity by disconnecting the
output of the effects circuit when not in operation. When a
jack is connected to Out 1 the pedal operates in mono mode.
6. Delay Time
Controls the delay time of the echoes from 20ms (fully anti-
clockwise) to 2000ms (fully clockwise).
4. 'Out 2 /Right' Jack Socket - Spill-Over
Out 2 is connected to a spill-over circuit. When the pedal is
switched off the echoes it has produced are allowed to 'spill'
and naturally decay over your playing while the input feeding
the effects circuit is switched off. When a jack is connected to
Out 2 the pedal operates in mono mode.
7. Feedback
Controls the amount of output signal that is fed-back and
mixed with the input increasing the time taken for the echoes
to decay. Fully anti-clockwise no signal is fed back and only
one echo is repeated, fully clockwise and the entire signal is
fed back causing the echoes to sound indefinitely.
When jacks are connected to Out 1 & Out 2 the pedal operates
in Stereo mode, producing a ping-pong style delay between
the two outputs. In stereo mode the delay time of Out 2 is half
the length of Out 1. No spill-over is present when the pedal
operates in stereo mode.
8. Level
Controls the level of the overall effect. Fully anti-clockwise
gives the least effect and driest (uneffected) guitar signal,
while fully clockwise gives the most effected guitar sound.
5. Mode
9. Foot Switch
For switching the Echohead on and off.
The Echohead offers six different delay modes. Selected by
switching the mode knob in to one of the six positions.
10. LED
Hi-Fi
A solid delay line throwing out crystal clear repeats
of the input.
Indicates when the Echohead is in operation.
11. DC Input
For input of a 9V DC centre negative regulated adaptor should
you not wish to use batteries.
Analogue Filters shape the echoes, adding a subtle tone and
recreating the sound of the guitar cascading
through old analogue delay circuits.
Tape Echo The narrow bandwidth and unstable whir of a tape
delay inspired these harsh degenerating echoes.
The random wow and flutter of an old motor adds
a warm organic chorus to the dark textured delays.
Multi Tap Multiple echoes pulse out of the pedal providing a
dense rhythmic sound.
Reverse Sucking the sound out backwards, the reverse
mode trails out a series of hypnotic repeats
creating psychedelic textures.

Trouble Shooting
Battery Replacement
1. To replace the battery, open the easily accessed coin screw
battery cover plate by loosening screw as shown, then
disconnect the battery connector lead.
2. Use PP3 or equivalent battery
(for improved battery life use
alkaline type).
3. Always ensure that the battery
is removed when the pedal is
not in use for long periods.
