1. Have a HOG/16SD/2880 type foot controller that can cycle presets as well as control looping functions.
2. speed & shape controls for modulation
3. More time for the 1 sec + reverse
4. Instead of having a gazillion modes, have one mode with hidden controls:

Normal controls:
Blend
Smear (the echo’s setting for decay that gives a reverb quality)
Tone
Feedback
Delay time

hidden controls:
Modulation depth
Modulation rate
discreet repeats 1-30 (multi-tap setting on the SMMH)
decay (controls the decay of the discreet repeats multi-tap setting on the SMMH)
multi-tap delay time

then throw in a way to switch it into reverse mode but keep all the same controls.

One problem with the different modes on the SMMH is that I always wanted to blend them. Why couldn’t I have the reverbery decay from the echo mode one the multi-tap mode or the reverse mode? Why couldn’t I have feedback on the multi-tap mode?

Also it would be cool to have it be able to do Binson Echorec type multi-tap stuff.

In my opinion the SMMH is too expensive. The price would have been ok if there had been

– an analog mode that makes it possible to change the pitch of the echoes when the delay time is changed + analog feedback (memory boy, boss space echo,..) (very important, would be great!)
– a trails switch (very important, would be great!)
– an input for expression pedal that lets you change the delay time (pitch effect) and the modulation (very important, would be great!)

– a + reverse switch , so we get 3/1/0.3 Sec Echo +Rev. AND Multitap + Rev. ((moreover 6 seconds and not 3 seconds!!)
– no annoying sounds when presets are changed (especially when I switch to the 3 sec multitap mode)

– a undo function on loops + a trails switch (??) for loops, for example: I have played the last tone of the loop and want the first tone of the loop to follow immediately. So I should stop recording the loop now. But then the echoes of the last tone don’t fade out naturally. (actually that means, the looper should be in front of the SMMH-effect)
– a function that makes the loops fade out
– a bpm function

By the way there are many other threads that would appreciate a SMMH 2.

Yes, the loop switch takes a while to get used too, especially for me since I have a set habit of beating out time with my foot. No problem to start the loop recording function but somewhat tricky at first when I have to think off the beat to finish the loop by raising my foot instead of stomping down. Ingrained habits die hard however I have now twigged a system which works for me. When the time comes to end the loop recording I breathe in and relax a few milliseconds before releasing the foot switch. Since using this method I have had no more trouble syncing the start and finish of the loops. A great help when playing loud and live.
