tablE of contEnts

Echolution 2 is the most powerful effects pedal that we’ve ever

created. This massively ﬂexible multi-tap stereo modulation delay features an entire array of customizable ﬁlter, LFO and pitch shifting options along with expression pedal and envelope control of every knob as well as complete MIDI control of every function.

Pigtronix Echolution 2 Filter PRO provides all the processing power and ﬂexibility of the E2 Ultra PRO while presenting a streamlined user interface for use on stage. The E2 Filter Pro’s clean user interface provides front panel access to the critical multi-tap and ﬁlter options that have become essential tools for crafting a modern delay sound as well as onboard access to the all-new Pigtronix pitch shifter algorithms

Accessing and navigating the vast palette of sounds available within the Echolution 2 is easy. Since the pedal is completely programmable, any sound that has been designed using the Echolution 2 pedal can be saved to the unit itself and exported for sharing with friends and other musicians. A dedicated PC/MAC application handles preset management and provides E2 users with even deeper customization. Please take a moment to download this application from: www. pigtronix. com/E2application

MIDI IN

Accepts MIDI preset change, MIDI CC inputs (see MIDI map) for all functions as well as MIDI beat clock to set the delay time.

Output 1

Connect ampliﬁer, mixer, DAW here.

Output 2

Connect ampliﬁer, mixer, DAW here.

Note: When only one of the two audio inputs is connected, that single input will be processed in stereo through both outputs

MIDI LED

When a MIDI clock at the MIDI IN jack is present, the red MIDI LED in the upper left corner will illuminate.

TAP TEMPO

Tap on this switch to set the delay time. When a new delay time is set by the Tap Tempo switch, it will override the manual delay time knob.

PrEsEt sElEction

jacks and footswitchEs

A LONG PRESS of the Tap Tempo switch enters PRESET SELECT mode. Once you have entered the PRESET SELECT mode, the green preset digit will blink. A SHORT PRESS on the tap tempo switch will move up one preset and a LONG

PRESS will move down one preset. Once the desired preset is queued, pressing

the ENGAGE foot switch will activate it.

EXP

TRS expression pedal goes here. Use a low-impedance foot controller.

Input 1

Connect instrument here

Input 2

Connect instrument here

MIDI OUT

Sends out MIDI beat clock that is eitherrelated to the delay time or based on the signal present at the MIDI IN jack along with MIDI Thru signals.

REMOTE

E2R or compatible TRS momentary remote switch goes here.

ENGAGE

Turns the effect on and off.

Power

18VDC (2.1mm neg. tip) 100mA or higher is required.

jacks and footswitchEs

Note: The Engage footswitch is also used to load presets once you have loaded PRESET SELECT mode. When the Engage footswitch is used to load a preset, the bypass status of the effect will not change

INPUT MIDI CLOCK

Enables MIDI Clock in

FIRMWARE VERSION

After the E2 initializes, it will display a sequence of three digits; this is its ﬁrmware version. For example, after the “-“ you will see a sequence ‘1’, ‘0’, ’0’. This denotes ﬁrmware version 100.

DRY KILL DURING BYPASS

Enables Dry Kill when Engage is off

REMOTE SWITCH SETTING

touch switchEs — filtErs

SHORT PRESS cycles between:

LP (Low Pass Filter) TAPE (Analog Tape emulator) COMB (All Pass Comb Filter) SWEEP (Resonant Sweep) LP + SWEEP TAPE + SWEEP COMB + SWEEP NO FILTER

When COMB or SWEEP is active, those ﬁlters are animated at a rate determined by the LFO SPEED knob. Try using the LFO SYNC to TAP function for some incredible synchronized ﬁlter and delay effects (See Touch Switches: LFO Waveforms for more).

LONG PRESS turns on the CRUSH ﬁlter. This is a proprietary

bitcrusher/destruction ﬁlter that smashes the audio in the delay line according to how loud the input signal is.

Note: On the E2 FILTER PRO, CRUSH is replaced by HALO.

PHASE INVERSION controls the phase of stereo output. It can be

toggled by HOLDING the FILTER switch during the boot-up process.

touch switchEs — Multi-taPs

SHORT PRESS cycles between:

1 - delay output matches the tap tempo / delay time ¾ - delay output is ¾ of the tap tempo / delay time value

2/3

- delay output is

2/3

of the tap tempo / delay time value ½ - delay output is ½ of the tap tempo / delay time value PHI - delay output is 0.382 of the tap tempo / delay time value... this signature feature creates rhythmic echo patterns based on the mathematics of the Golden Ratio.

LONG PRESS ‘locks’ the currently selected tap option and adds

a second tap. The locked tap remains at the previously chosen value and the second tap will now move with each SHORT PRESS, cycling through the available remaining options.

When two taps are active a LONG PRESS gets rid of the second tap and ‘unlocks’ the ﬁrst tap.

DELAY OUTPUT BOOST increases the MAX value of the MIX knob

to +6dB above the input signal. This can be toggled by HOLDING the TAPS switch during the power-up procedure of the E2.
