August 21, 2010 at 2:30 am #111006Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:I see that everyone misses something: a cassette is not a tape loop. the tape ends at some point. it would work for a fair amount of time (30 mins, but depends on the tape), but then you’ll have to flip the tape to keep using it. No big deal for me, but idk, my 2 cents
I like the idea of the Moebius tape loop (9.3 seconds) http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Making_Cassette_Tape_Loops
And as long as the tape motor has variable speed, you could probably extend the loop time, though the fidelity would decrease – but hey, that might have a really cool sound to it.
Point is, you could do all kinds of experimentation using cassette tapes. Look how cheaply they can be purchased: http://music.shop.ebay.com/Cassettes-/1600/i.html?_trkparms=65:10|66:2|39:1&rt=nc&_nkw=cassette&_catref=1&_dmpt=Music_Cassettes&_npmv=3&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=15&_sc=1
You wouldn’t feel bad about messing up a loop, or changing out the tape after every performance.
I think a really important detail with this tape delay idea is that it’s another opportunity for EHX to incorporate its preamp tubes into another device — give the Fulltone TTE a bit of competition.

August 22, 2010 at 6:40 pm #111025companymanParticipantHow about something along the lines of the Boss LS-2 line switcher? 2 independent loops with boost controls for each (perhaps Germanium boost circuits?)that can be run A and B, individually and together. This can take care of volume drops and jumps associated with some EHX pedals, or you can blend a clean signal in with pedals in the other loop, great for getting some clarity with higher gain, or deep modulation.
August 23, 2010 at 1:29 pm #111031TheGhostMachinaMemberI like the FX loop pedal idea. Also.. The purists are gonna hate me fer this, but.. Deluxe Micro Synth. It would have to be digital (like the POG2), switchable between bass and guitar, have a preset Hazari knob, with expression and MOD inputs (like the Ring Thing).

August 27, 2010 at 4:10 am #111115Wah-wahyoutalkinabout?MemberMaybe an EHX tuner? that’s not really so unralistic
September 21, 2010 at 3:11 pm #111558Lizard JonnyMemberI would love something similar to a stereo electric mistress, but say the chorus and flanger ran independently of each other and it was quadrophonic… so say you had 4 amps. flange on the 2 outside amps and chorus on the inside. That would be badass.
December 7, 2010 at 9:28 pm #112934CarmineParticipantEHX Tuner Fish pedal would be great!
– Nano Chasis
– Run on 9v
– Maybe a mute toggle switch which means “when stepped on mute the signal”
– Cost around $60December 7, 2010 at 11:24 pm #112961KartoonHeadMemberCarmine; that pedal is beautiful, love the name too xD but it’s too normal for EHX, it’d need to be something like the TC Electronics PolyTune (Polyphonic Tuner) whereby you strum all strings at once and it tells you which ones are out. http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/TC-Electronic-PolyTune-Polyphonic-Tuner/CER
But yea, I’d totally buy that.
December 8, 2010 at 5:39 am #112968CarmineParticipantEHX Switch Hitter
– Switch between 2 instruments
– Volume knob for each (with -20db to +20db gain)
– LED’s to let you know what channel you’re on
– Switch toggles between A <> B and A -> B -> Mute(sorry, having way too much fun with photoshop today)

So, it’s 2 LPB-1 pedals in one box set up something like the Double Muff.
December 9, 2010 at 3:14 am #112987CarmineParticipantEHX Green Back$
– Prints f@$#ing money
– knob to select bill type
– toggle switch for USD/EUR– Costs $120 for nano chasis model, but you’ll make back your investment with first use!
December 12, 2010 at 4:51 pm #113039JBhomeMemberThe deluxe double muff – two foot switches (one to replace the slide switch), the 2 usual knobs plus a bias knob for the transistor on muff one and a fuzz knob for muff two. And a voltage control for extra fun. All of that will fit in the standard size DM enclosure i recon, so come on Mike!

Then we would have a Polyphonic Micro Synthesizer, and a very sophisticated one. This could be the Rosetta Stone of guitar synthesis.
Hence the name I suggest: Rosetta Stone.
