You should read these Important Safety Instructions.

Keep these instructions in a safe place.

Before using your ToneCore, carefully read the applicable items of these operating instructions and the safety suggestions.

1. Obey all warnings on the pedal and in the ToneCore Pilot's Handbook.

2. Connect optional power supply only to AC power outlets rated 100-120V or 200-240V 47-63Hz (see indications on optional power supply).

3. Do not perform service operations beyond those described in the ToneCore Pilot's Handbook. Service is required when the apparatus has been

damaged in any way, such as:

• power-supply cord or plug is damaged

• liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus

• the unit has been exposed to rain or moisture

• the unit does not operate normally or changes in performance in a significant way

• the unit is dropped or the enclosure is damaged.

4. Do not place near heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, or appliances which produce heat. .

5. Guard against objects or liquids entering the enclosure. Do not use or place unit near water.

6. Unplug the power supply when not in use for extended periods of time. Unplug the power supply during lightning storms.

7. Clean only with a damp cloth.

8. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

9. Prolonged listening at high volume levels may cause irreparable hearing loss and/or damage. Always be sure to practice “safe listening.”

Echo Park Pilot’s Handbook

Output your effects mono

to a standard amplifier, or

to a stereo setup. Be sure to connect

your guitar to the

mono input jack on

your ToneCore.

Or, you can

feed the

stereo input

of your

ToneCore

with a mono

or stereo

effect pedal

instead of a

guitar.

Greetings and salutations! Thank you for inviting the

Line 6 Echo Park delay pedal into your life.

Effect On-Off / Power Indicator Light

The Power Indicator Light on your ToneCore uses

three colors to indicate the pedal’s state:

• GREEN (flashing)– Effect is engaged (on). Light

is flashing to show delay time

• AMBER (flashing)– Effect is in bypass (off). Light

is flashing to show delay time

• RED (flashing) – Batteries need replacing

This low power indication will override all other states.

Power Jack

Connect an optional ToneCore-compatible Line 6

power supply like the DC-1, and you'll never need a

9-volt battery again!

Connections and Power Indicator Light

In Jacks

Use a standard guitar cable to connect your guitar, or

the output of another effect to use in combination

with your ToneCore. If you’re feeding a mono signal

to your Echo Park, use the MONO/L jack. Like most

pedals, inserting a plug into this jack will turn on

the power to your ToneCore. Disconnect both input

plugs from jacks when the ToneCore is not being

used.

Out Jacks

Use a standard guitar cable to connect to the inputs

of a guitar amp, or the inputs of another effect that

will feed your amp. For mono, use the MONO/L jack.

Foot Switch

Stomp on this to turn the effect sound processing on

and off. See Tap Tempo sectionto learn how to set

the time with your feet.

Model Switch

Give this a flick to reconfigure the virtual circuitry

inside your Echo Park, and enjoy three distinctly

different sound “flavors”.

Tape gives you classic tape echo warmth. The high

end will deteriorate with each repeat, in vintage tape

echo style. And you never have to change tapes!

Digital gives you straight up echoes, with crystal clear

digital fidelity.

Analog is designed to give a vintage analog bucket

brigade delay sound, with its darker distorted tone.

Trails Switch

Set this on to keep Echo Park’s processing engaged

while in bypass, so your echoes smoothly trail away

when you kick the effect off.

Tap Tempo

Put your foot to work and get your echoes in the

groove! Using the innovative ToneCore double-action

footswitch, you can tap a couple times and have your

echoes match your tempo. Here’s what you need to

know:

• Whether the effect is active or bypassed, you can

tap the footswitch lightly to set delay time. Your first

two taps establish the tempo. Any additional taps

within 3 seconds will be averaged in.

• Taps will be ignored if the footswitch is pressed all

the way down to turn the effect processing on/off.

• Any time the Tap Tempo switch is used to alter the

delay, the tapped value overrides the current setting

of the Time knob. Whenever the Time knob is turned,

it overrides the last value entered with the Tap Tempo

switch.

• Echo Park’s indicator light flashes the tempo in

green when the effect is on and amber when the effect

is off. The light will always flash at quarter note speed.

Detail on Tap Tempo time:

In most configurations, the delay time ranges from

53 ms min to 2500 ms max.

The exceptions are:

8th note triplet = 13 ms min to 833 ms max

8th note dotted = 30 ms min to 1875 ms max

Slap = 10 ms min to 625 ms max

Controls

Mix

Turn the knob up (clockwise) for louder echoes, or

down for quieter ones.

Repeat

You get 1 repeat at the minimum setting, and infinite

repeats when the knob is all the way up.

Time

This knob gives you a range of spacings for your echoes

from 53 milliseconds (close together) through 2.235

seconds (way far apart) per side. Turn this knob and

listen how the delay time smoothly changes when

audio is present. You can use Tap Tempo (see previous

page) to reach Echo Park’s maximum time of 2.5

seconds.

Mod

Turn this knob up to get some delicious stereo

modulation on your echoes. Each model has its own

type of stereo modulation:

• Analog has Vibrato

• Digital has Chorus

• Tape has Wow & Flutter

Function Control Knob

Choices, choices! When you’re talkin’ Echo Park,

you’re talkin’ plenty of options:

• Normal: your taps are treated as quarter notes, so

you hear your echoes coming back at the same speed

you tapped the footswitch.

• Tap eighth note triplet: This setting lets you tap

quarter notes, while the echoes come back doing

8th note triplets. Sweet!

• Tap dotted eighth note: You tap quarter notes,

your echoes come back as dotted 8th notes.

• Slap: This is the place for a speedy slap back echo.

The Time knob’s range is automagically changed to

be 10 to 150 thousandths of a second. You can Tap

Tempo all 1/4 notes, and get 1/16 note echoes.

• Swell: This adds an auto volume swell along with

your echoes. Dreamy.

• Sweep: Add this sweeping filter to the feedback loop

of your echoes and you’ll be glad you did!

• Ducking: The volume of your echoes is “ducked”

(reduced) while you’re playing, and increases when

you stop. This is handy to avoid mud-tone.

• Multi 1*: Uses multiple delay “taps,” to give you a

rhythmic pattern of echoes

• Multi 2*: Another multi-tap rhythmic variation

• Ping pong*: Alternating left and right taps

• Reverse*: Just like those backwards parts on our

favorite albums, this flips your input signal around

and sends it back to you in reverse. Use it live, and

folks are sure to be impressed.

The functions marked by the * combine your left and right

inputs for processing, so the effected part of the signal will

be summed to mono, while your dry signal remains stereo.

Example Tones

Slappy-Verb

Slick back your hair, cuff your jeans,

roll a pack of Camel unfiltereds up

in your sleeve, and dial in this

setting when it’s time for super cool

rockabilly slap back echoes.

Dynamic Delay (ducking)

Here’s the magic fix to save your

tone from getting overwhelmed by

your echoes. It drops the volume of

your echoes as you play, then brings

them back up when you stop.

60’s Reverse

This setting records your playing

into a hydrogen-powered time

machine, transmits it back to a

groovy studio in 1966, records it to

tape, flips that tape backwards,

transports it back to the future, and

spits it out of your Echo Park. Relax

and float downstream...
