QUICK START GUIDE
PLUGGING IN THE GRAND CANYON
1. Connect the supplied EHX9.6DC AC Adapter into the 9V jack at the
top of the Grand Canyon. Plug the AC Adapter into an AC outlet.
2. Connect your guitar or other instrument into the INPUT jack using a
standard 1/4” instrument cable. Connect the L OUT jack to your amp
with another standard 1/4” instrument cable.
3. For stereo operation, connect R OUT to another amp.
DIALING IN A STANDARD DIGITAL DELAY EFFECT
1. Ensure none of the buttons at the top left of the Grand Canyon, like
TAILS, are lit. If any button is lit, press the button once to disable it.
2. Ensure that only the DELAY mode LED is lit. This LED is located in the
center of the unit, just to the right of the DELAY knob. If the LOOPER
LED is lit, press the small white Mode button located near the DELAY
and LOOPER LEDs until only DELAY is lit.
3. Rotate the DELAY TYPE knob clockwise to the ECHO setting for a
standard digital delay.
4. Set the two smaller knobs to the right of the DELAY TYPE knob to
their middle positions.
5. Set the number of repeats with the FEEDBACK knob, the delay time
with the DELAY knob, and the delay volume with the DELAY LVL knob.
TAPPING IN THE DELAY TIME
1. Check that the TAP DIV setting is set to quarter note. If it is not, press
the TAP DIV button until only the quarter note LED is lit.
2. Ensure that you are in Delay-only mode, and the LOOPER LED is off.
3. Press and release the TAP/LOOP footswitch two or more times. The
delay time will now be equal to the time difference between your last
two presses of the TAP/LOOP footswitch.
4. TAP DIV can now be pressed to choose different Tap Divisions.
CHOOSING A DELAY TYPE
1. Rotate the DELAY TYPE knob in either direction until the desired
DELAY TYPE LED is lit.
2. Check the parameter table on the Grand Canyon to see the
parameters that can be adjusted by the two Mini Knobs for the chosen
DELAY TYPE. Try turning the Mini Knobs to experiment with different
delay effects.
