    Looks like it is real…..

    Tap-tempo analog delay? Is that possible, and if so, why aren’t there more of them?

    woah, i thought tap tempo could only be on digital pedals. i’m not convinced that its real yet.

    It must have a digital ‘brain’ I guess… that would explain the buttons to change the modes too…… like a memory boy with a digital controller bolted on to it.

    …just guessing though. :)

    it’s possible (as I explained above) the reason there aren’t more is probably because most manufacturers wouldn’t see the point, they’d just make it all digital…..and boutique makers usually only deal with analogue stuff, there has been stuff like this before though…and it’s usually expensive.

    ….the empress tremolo is an analogue tremolo that’s digitally controlled. (so you can have tap)

    excellent. I’m stoked. It’ll go great w/ my hazarai and maybe my #1 Echo will have to retire to the cabinet.

    Ah, interesting, thanks for that. So saying it is analogue means the signal path is all analogue, I assume, and then the digital bits just read the tempo from the tap switch and somehow communicate that to the analogue circuit board which controls the actual sound?

    This announcement makes me think that ehx has been surreptitiously monitoring my non-ehx purchases and then coming out with a cheaper product 2 months later. I get the Devi Ever “Dark Boost” and they release the mole, then I finally get a (digital) delay with tap-tempo, and now this.

    Anything else you guys want me to buy to spur ehx product development on? 🙄

    Thought I’d post it here first. Just got the info in the mail today at work. The first picture shows the DMB and the second page is a sneak peak of the new nano vocoder.

    awesome, so i guess it is real!

    i’m going to get the SMMH first though, before i get that.

    I guess, I’m not exactly sure on the technical details of how it’s done, but yeah your audio signal follows an analogue path and the digital part controls what the analogue bit does, it’s pretty clever really. If EHX are moving into this area I wonder if they will make a deluxe pulsar in a similar way, with tap tempo etc.

    The question now is, should I sell the Memory Boy to make way for the Deluxe?

    I’m keeping mine, if only for the square-wave modulation.

    If the repeats are as dark as the mb, at least now we can put a screaming tree in the feedback loop
