Hi All
Can anyone tell me how to increase the echo volume on the Zoom 2200.
I have turned the Mix knob up but it just makes the echo sound tinny and it feeds back,more like a reverb.
Listening to soundfiles posted here,there are some really nice echoes,but I can't get them.
Thanks
Alan

Hi Barry
I also use a desktop tonelab which is plugged into the front socket.
My problem is that you can't seem to hear the echo,it dosen't sound loud enough.
Yes,it has Charlies patches which are fine,if I can set it right.
Thanks for the reply
Alan

Hi Alan,
Normally, the echoes should be at the correct levels without having to alter the mix knob. The echo amount would be increased by setting the mix knob higher, but no higher than 12 o' clock.
Some connection configurations could change that, for example in a parallel effects loop where the dry signal bypasses the unit. The solution in that case would be to set the effects loop for series operation if possible, or if not, set the mix knob of the RFX to maximum and control the effects level with the amp's effects level control.
However, it sounds like you are connecting the guitar to the RFX, and then from the RFX to the Tonelab input, in which case I don't understand why the effects level should be so low.
If the Tonelab has an effects loop have you tried connecting the RFX to that?
Regards,
Charlie

Hi Charlie
My guitar goes into the Tonelab then Front or back of the 2200.
At the moment I have the input at 10 o'clock - Output at 2 o'clock and the Mix at 10 o'clock.
I am at a loss to know how to set the Rev Character & Rev Time knobs.
They are at Rev Character = just past 9 Rev Time is 11 o'clock.
It's just sounding a bit reverby and tinny at the moment.

Hi Alan,
When the unit is powered up, or when a different program is selected, the mix and parameter knobs have no effect unless they are deliberately altered after the program selection. When another program is selected after that, they again have no effect until altered.
The 4 knobs on the RHS can be left at the zero setting. They play no part in the programmed settings, unless you want to alter certain parameters as detailed in my instructions when they can override program settings, but most players wouldn't bother to alter them.
The mix control also plays no part unless you want to alter the pre-programmed mix level. I usually set it to zero.
The input level setting would depend on whether you are using the front mic input or the rear input. For connection from the Tonelab I wouldn't use the front input as it can easily be overloaded with a signal from such as the Tonelab. You would probably have to set the input level much higher if the rear input is used, by monitoring the input signal level with the LEDs.
The output level control can be set after everything else, to whatever level you wish to drive the next item in the signal chain. In most cases it should be approximately the same level as from the guitar itself, but if you are connecting to a sound card or other computer interface, you can set it to any level that the next stage can stand.
Once you have understood the concept of the above, we can look into why the programs seem low on echo.
Regards,
Charlie

Oh Charlie,many thanks for the words of wisdom.
I have had it connected up and set in completely the wrong way,OK.
Guitar into Tonelab - Stereo Out of Tonelab into Rear inputs of 2200.
The 4 knobs on the Right of the unit are now set to Zero.
The Mix knob is now set to Off.
I just need to try and set the Input/Output now,and see what I get.
I'll be back,and thank you.
Alan

you should use that input if connecting a guitar direct!!!,, I have mine loaded now with echo-tapper patches & previously roberto's patches & they work just fine...
