Operating Instructions

The Small Clone EH 4600 features simple controls for easy tone shaping.

Controls

  • RATE Knob: This knob controls the speed of the chorus effect. Turning it clockwise increases the speed, while turning it counter-clockwise decreases it.
  • DEPTH Switch: This switch controls the intensity or width of the chorus effect. The up position provides a deeper, more pronounced chorus, while the down position offers a more subtle effect.
  • STATUS LED: Indicates when the effect is active.
  • FOOTSWITCH: Engages or bypasses the effect. The pedal features true bypass, ensuring your instrument's tone remains unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.
