Carl Martin Echotone User Manual

The Carl Martin Echotone! 1200 milliseconds of vintage echo, foot-switchable Tap or Manual time settings,

insert loop and switchable trail function at bypass. Imagine switching from a Manual time setting to a Tap

time setting right at your feet, so you can play with your favourite slap-back echo on rhythm to a Tap (tempo)

set echo for that massive lead or solo! Combine this with flavouring your echo by installing a chorus, flange

or even distortion pedal in the insert loop, and the switchable trail function at bypass, and you have what our

test players are calling ‘the best echo they have ever heard’!

As with all the Danish built Carl Martin effects, the Echotone comes in our low-profile housing, coated in our

new stunning off-white colour, with the built-in 12v (+-) regulated power supply.

The ECHO switch is to activate or bypass the Echotone, with the LED on

Please note the Echotone is NOT true bypass, it features a high quality

buffered bypass, to ensure long cabling without loss.

TEMPO function.
