Just got the SMMH and love it. Great job EHX! One thing though:
On multitap, on the 1 sec + Rev function, you are supposed to be able to get “up to” 6 seconds playback. Right now all I can get is about 2.5 seconds. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
May 23, 2010 at 10:15 pm #105717The Ghost of Sim TutMemberWelcome to the board. Where does it say you can get up to 6 seconds playback? It says up to 3 seconds everywhere in the manual.
May 23, 2010 at 10:17 pm #105710The Ghost of Sim TutMemberWait sorry, you are referring to the multi-tap reverse. My bad. It should play back the last 6 seconds from the moment you step on the switch. How do you have your repeats set and all that?
June 2, 2010 at 1:03 am #102929patchMemberHey thanks!
Yes, I’m talking about the multi-tap rev function. I had tried setting the knobs to all sorts of settings and never seem to get more than 3 seconds of playback once I step on the switch to start the reverse playback. The manual makes it sound as if you should be able to get six seconds. Am I doing something wrong?
June 2, 2010 at 2:43 pm #102896The Ghost of Sim TutMemberHmm, yeah I guess I’ve never counted but now I’m curious. I’ll try some things when I get home.
June 6, 2010 at 10:57 pm #103054The Ghost of Sim TutMemberOK so I tried this. I can not get more than 3 seconds on the 1sec+reverse regardless of settings for delay time, repeats, and decay. It never bothered me before. I still don’t think it bothers me, but it definitely does not play back 6 seconds.
June 6, 2010 at 11:53 pm #102678John JMemberi don’t think mine plays back more than a second, but i have the delay time set super super short – maybe that has something to do with it? try increasing the echo length, see if you can get more time in reverse.
June 7, 2010 at 3:29 am #102749patchMemberHey John, thanks for looking into it. I’ve tried tweaking the knobs every way I can think of to no avail.
Ghost, thanks too for checking it out.
I thought that was the case, I’m glad it wasn’t just my pedal. I wonder if any of the official EHX folk could chime into let us know what the deal is. The manual definitely boasts 6 seconds. The thing that bums me out about it (it is still a very cool pedal) is that 3 seconds is just short enough to not be very useful. I love in John Scofield’s soloing where he plays a line and runs it in reverse. Or it would be so useful in a longer reverse chord swell. 3 seconds is just barely gets you into it before it cuts out. I wonder what the deal is? This was actually one of the reasons I bought the pedal. I loved the looping function on the DL4 and always wanted to be able to just play and have it playback in reverse immediately. I thought this one would do it. It does I guess but 3 seconds is just short enough to not do it for me.Anyway, thanks for the welcome and checking into it. I appreciate it!
