ELCANYON

CANYON

Electro-Harmonix

Compact in size at 2.8 x 4.5 x 2.1 , the Electro-Harmonix Canyon is a pedal designed for electric guitar which provides eleven different time-based effects, from clean digital delay to tape echoes filled with wow and flutter. Modulation delay, reverse delay, octave delay, and more are all possible by means of a single rotary mode controller; the pedal not only provides an individual emulation of the well-regarded Deluxe Memory Man pedal, but also a Soul Preacher, a POG 2, and a second Memory Man, all chained together to give you a shimmering, echoed wash of harmony.Indeed, many timbres and modulations are possible utilizing the Canyon s relatively simple interface. You are provided with an FX level knob, a delay knob, a feedback controller, a tap/divide switch, and the aforementioned rotary mode controller. However, more controls are possible by selecting an effect and engaging the secondary knob mode, which gives you the ability to further tweak most of the individual effects. To create tap tempos to your liking, you can do so by stepping twice or more on the footswitch.In addition to its conventional delay modes, the Canyon offers a 62-second phrase looper, with control over how loud the loop will be upon adding overdubs into the mix. You also can make use of the sample/hold effect, which will grab onto plucked notes of pre-selected sensitivity and repeat them until you play another note similar in velocity. A momentary footswitch can be routed into the pedal via a 1/4" jack. This is a mono pedal, with one 1/4 instrument input and one 1/4" instrument output. A power supply is included.11 Different Modes ECHO: This is a digital delay, in which each delayed repeat sounds exactly like the previous one, and the repeats gradually decrease in volume.MOD: This is a modulated delay, giving you the same digital repeat structure as ECHO mode, but with added modulation to the delayed repeats to impart warmth and complexity on the echo.MULTI: In Multi-Tap Delay mode, each repeat of the delayed signal occurs at exactly the same volume. The FEEDBACK knob sets the total number of these constant-volume repeats.REVRS: In this Reverse Delay mode, your echoes will play in reverse, using an intelligent algorithm to study your playing so that it can produce reversed echoes that best suit the delay time setting. You can use the pedal s Secondary Knob Mode to adjust the sensitivity of the intelligent pluck detection algorithm.DMM: This mode provides a faithful emulation of the Deluxe Memory Man bucket-brigade analog delay pedal specifically, its tone. Organic echoes will transform as they repeat, and lush modulation is available using Secondary Knob Mode.TAPE: This mode simulates the prized analog tape echo units of the 1970s. Echoes degrade and distort as they repeat, as tape Wow and Flutter provide tape-like character.VERB: In this mode, each echo also has plate reverb applied to it. If you turn the FEEDBACK knob all the way down, you ll get a pure reverb effect, and the DELAY knob will control the pre-delay of the reverb.OCT: In this octave delay, each repeat is progressively pitch shifted up one octave. You can also generate a sub-octave by using the Secondary Knob Mode.SHIM: This mode creates a shimmer effect, generating a rich octave-shifted wash of harmony with your guitar. The pedal achieves this by modeling a chain of four other EHX pedals: The Soul Preacher compressor, the POG 2 Pitch Shifter, and the Stereo Memory Man Delay/Mod unit all looped into a second Stereo Memory Man.S/H: In sample/hold mode, the pedal senses each of pluck of your guitar, repeating them indefinitely until another pluck is sensed. The FEEDBACK knob will control the Canyon s sensitivity to guitar plucks. At the minimum position, only the strongest plucks will trigger the S/H mode. As FEEDBACK is turned up, the sensitivity of this mode increases.LOOP: Built into the pedal is a 62-second phrase looper. A recorded loop will be stored permanently, even when the unit i
