Dave Knudson (minus bear) More information: the official line 6 website first affected Echo Park through line 6 as part of their ToneCore pedal series.
This means that the green part of the pedal where the control is located is actually a unit separate from the metal chassis that holds it ---
This allows players to purchase a chassis and then replace the ToneCore unit during flight.
The goal is probably to make it cheaper for users to buy ToneCore "brains", thus saving users money, but most of them are cool effects and you will want to run them at the same time, except for multiple chass, there is no way to do this.
Anyway, this pedal is like a tank.
I would say that although it is also heavy, it is easy to compete with the boss for durability.
I tend to build a house with ToneCore chass;
They will definitely surpass the bricks.
For players who are used to Boss or Digitech/DOD --
The style is simple and the control layout looks a bit daunting.
But don't worry, Echo Park is very friendly after overcoming the initial learning curve.
At first, the pedal seems to have more features and sounds than anyone actually uses ---
Then you sit down and start playing with it and you start making cool guitar parts based on the different settings you dial in. . .
Then you're addicted to Echo Park.
UseLine 6's ease of use does set a height for users
In my opinion, the Echo Park is friendly while retaining a series of profound features.
How much useful sound is the brightness of this pedal--
Not cool. but-
Unrealistic settings-
They managed to compact the pedal design while also making them very simple in flight.
In the past, this required a unit with an LED screen, along with a range of deep menus and sub-menus;
Echo Park provides users with 2 switches and 5 knobs, which is almost everything you need to navigate a seemingly endless range of sounds, settings, patterns and tones.
The basic layout is as follows: there are 3-
Position switch, allowing the player to switch between analog tape echo unit, Pure Digital delay unit, and analog pedal.
There are obvious differences between everyone and being able to use different tones for different songs-
Or a different part of a song. -
It's just one of the many Echo Parks. There is a 2-
Turn on or off the position switch for "track.
Basically, this switch determines whether the echo will continue (in the trajectory on position) when you step down the pedal to turn it off or, when you step down the pedal to turn it off, the Echo stops immediately (at the path close position ).
The "mix" knob determines the balance between the number of dry signals in the sound and the number of delay signals.
Turn left all the time to completely eliminate the amount of echo that exists;
Turn all the way to the right, you can't hear anything except the echo.
At 12, the volume of the Echo matches the sound of the guitar evenly.
The function of the "repeat" knob is similar to the "feedback" control of other delays.
Essentially, it works like this: turning left all the way to it creates an echo repeat for each note played.
Rotating it all the way to the right produces an infinite number of echoes, which sends units to the selfoscillation.
I usually turn it on at around 9 or 10 and repeat the Echo 3 or 4 times every single note played.
If you prefer to set it manually instead of using the tap tempo feature, the time knob controls the rhythm of the Echo.
Turn left all the way and the pedal will produce a very slow Echo (2.
5 seconds apart, to be exact ).
Rotating all the way to the right produces a very fast echo, so fast that you may not notice any echo after playing the notes.
Stop at the middle point and find all kinds of cool delay settings, from slapback for 50 seconds to psychedelic drones.
Please note that the setting of this knob is immediately disabled when you step on the piston of the pedal for tapping delay.
The "Mod" knob controls the amount of modulation mixed into the delay signal.
(Note that one of the really cool features of Echo Park is that, like yore's tape and analog delay system, it only regulates your Echo, not the direct to your guitar
) There are three different applications for this: in tape mode, it controls the amount of "wow and puff" on the Echo;
In digital mode, it adds a crystal chorus sound to your repetition;
In analog mode, it adjusts the vibrato level on each echo.
Finally, there is a knob that allows the delay mode to be selected.
There are eleven different options here and I won't waste your time describing them ---
I just want to say, my favorite is the dotted line.
The eighth note, when you play, it allows you to tap the rhythm in a four-point note, but the three notes echo.
Echo Park has two inputs (you can enter the guitar directly through mono input, or you can also use stereo input if you come out of another stereo pedal) and two outputs (same configuration ).
Tap tempo is arguably the biggest achievement of this pedal, and I'm fairly sure that Line 6 is one of the first major manufacturers to incorporate this feature into the effect pedal of the delay unit.
Turn the pedal piston on or off the Echo Park is the same as the pedal piston you use to tap the Echo speed;
You just have to push it down half way (you'll feel a little click) to set the interval or push it down all the time (by clicking-
Mark the point in the midpoint) to enable or disable the effect.
If it sounds a bit tricky, it may be in the first place.
But it's easy to adjust--
It only needs a slightly lighter touch than most effect pedals.
In all my comments, I have approached Echo Park in several cases: one is solo, the other is recording, and the third is playing in a live band.
In each scenario, these 6-line units are absolutely shiny.
Echo Park sounds great in terms of personal apps.
In fact, it makes practice very interesting because it opens up an experimental world through a variety of available models, settings, and delay modes.
I think of a sentence at the edge of the U2 band, who describes how he fits echo into his creative process when creating guitar parts, once he really starts to discover what he can do with this effect.
I found myself delving into the features of Echo Park simply because it was very easy to do and as a result there was a lot of new ideas and improvements to the old ones.
In the recording scene, I initially had some issues with Echo Park because I didn't know that using line 6 power would solve the noise problem.
Unfortunately, in getting DC-
1G cable, Echo Park can't be used in the studio because it will hum even if the pedal is off.
However, as soon as I order the exclusive power supply for Line 6, the signal is immediately cleared and the sound is beautiful.
(Update: If you want to run juice on several pedals at the same time, the pedal power 2 Plus of Voodoo Lab is an ideal power supply, because it includes a port specially set up for the 6 th line pedal.
) This is a great place to mention the quirks of Echo Park: when it is turned on, the volume will be small but increase significantly.
There will be a certain percentage of guitars-
Play people who strongly don't like this kind of game, but I'm not one of them.
In fact, I like the little hint that it adds extra gain to the signal ---
Since I rarely turn off Echo Park, I didn't notice the difference between the dry sound and the affected sound.
The reason I mentioned the volume boost when discussing the recording with Echo Park is because this is a situation I have to explain.
Play alone, this is a nonissue;
Playing in a band is an advantage.
In the studio, however, the microphone is placed carefully and the settings are adjusted to a specific sound, and I don't think it would be compensated to have the engineer step down the pedal first ---
This is a good idea because a slight volume drop is usually not a problem if the microphone can receive the heat signal well.
However, a sudden enhancement of the signal can lead to unexpected unnecessary distortion.
So, please be aware of anyone who recorded using Echo Park: Make sure you set it up relative to the sound when the pedal is on!
Finally, in the background of the live band combo, Echo Park is a lifesaver.
There are so many features and sounds that are easy to access and I find nothing I can't do with this pedal.
Standard use like dotted line
The eighth note pattern and environment expands to strange experimental textures such as the back guitar and the self
Oscillation, Line 6 really threw everything in and the well known Echo Park kitchen sink.
The quality of the sound is another aspect of the performance of the pedal and I would like to praise it.
To be honest, this pedal has a better impression of analog delay than any other digital unit I 've played with, and while I 've never used an actual tape delay, I bet, it's also very close to these.
Let's just say, it's not ---
Well, the "tape" setting at Echo Park is still a very useful music sound.
It just makes the guitar signal thicker and adds to the lush atmosphere that I can't achieve with any other pedals at Arsenal.
Use the "Mod" (modulation) knob to easily dial the amount of texture you want;
I don't really like the only sound on this pedal is the chorus effect that the Mod knob mixes on the digital delay model.
But I wasn't keen on chorus at first, so maybe it sounded great too.
Tap dance rhythm is the only feature of other guitarists I know.
The same pedal is unusual.
The piston used to open and close the pedal is the piston used to tap the Echo interval.
The trick is that when you push the piston down with your feet, you feel it going through two "gaps ";
The first one, half the time, is the rhythm of the beat. -
The second one, all the way down, is on/off.
Basically, this means that you have to tap the pedal gently with your feet in order to tap on the rhythm and really rely on it to enable or disable the effect.
This requires a bit of practice, but the benefits of mastering this system are huge ---
First of all, unlike the analog delay of tap tempo, the dynamic adjustment of the Echo speed does not lead to distorted, running sound like the circuit.
This allows you to easily adjust your rhythm during your flight.
In fact, you can stand there with the drummer and tap the rhythm, the drummer fluctuates throughout the duration of a song, which has no obvious effect on the sound of the pedal!
Another immediate benefit to think of is that there is no larger pedal to accommodate a separate tap rhythm switch that saves pedal real estate.
Conclusion No one has invented a perfect compact digital delay pedal yet, but Line 6 Echo Park is as close as I thought.
From a lot of simple calculations you won't find a better value for your dollarto-
Use the features plus great sound.
It may take some time to get used to the tap speed function of the pedal, but in the end, it is worth adjusting.
I once called Echo Park my "desert island delay" without hesitation ".
"I found the better pedals later, but I could use one of them to perform and be happy with the results.
You can't do better for your first echo unit, and while mine is no longer my main pedal, I will always keep it as a good backup.
