CONTEMPL8Participant
Ok thanks, so you don’t approve of it nor would you do it, but can you tell me if outside of your doing it or approving it if its possible to achieve that with the circuitry setup? Can I somehow keep the raspy sound and still keep the volume of everything else in my line, but lower the drive for this pedal somehow?
CONTEMPL8ParticipantOk thanks for the tip. I tried the Overlord and it doesn’t have much distortion sound to it compared to the Satisfaction. I really love the rasp, the rasp is the best part and makes my voice sound cool. I wish there was a drive or gain knob, so that I can keep the raspy sound but lower the over powering that’s resulting in feedback on my vocals. Is there a way to jimmy rig this pedal to reduce the gain/drive at all? Obviously all warranties etc. would be voided, but it would be worth it if I could keep the sound and nix the feedback issues. Or could I send it in to EHX and have you guys add a drive/gain knob?

Can you step by step me on how to deoxit spray it please? or can some one? I just want to make sure I don’t screw it up somehow. Do I open from bottom? What do I do? Thanks

I still would love to see EHX remake the 45000 with 4 inputs and 8 or 16 tracks so that I can do more, and recording jam sessions with four instruments. I think it would really revolutionize DIY recording for those of us do our best stuff off the cuff and want to make sure we capture it and can separate out each instrument. I think it would be extremely popular and take a huge chunk of market share, because a lot of us don’t like DAW’s and just want to stomp on record and get it all rather than have to fumble with a mouse and a computer etc. Also, if EHX were to do this I’d like to also see the following: loop number read out and up and down loop buttons on the main console, plus have time clock and rewind and fast forward capability, and also have a button that can clone a loop and bounce all its tracks to another loop, which would be much easier and have no loss compared to the method with extra cables that you described, so you can mess around with the clone and still have the original to go back to, sort of like on Photoshop how you can save a copy, because if you do a lot of changes sometimes you realize you want to go back to earlier stuff and this would preserve that very reliably.

Also, regarding step 2 again, I thought if you have the slider set to minimum that you end up with really low signal and the volume is not loud enough, and then its basically unuseable?

Curious though, in step 2 you said set the slider to minimum, is that right? Seems like it should be set to maximum, not minimum. I was asking about “bouncing” the completed mixdown to one of the normal tracks like the quote talks about doing above. Here’s the quote again: “Using external cables, you could bounce the Mixdown track back to one or two of the recorded tracks. If you do this remember to push down the DRY OUT slider so that unwanted feedback is not introduced.” Can you explain this specific procedure more thoroughly, what is meant by what the quote said? What kind of external cables is it talking about? Is it talking about doing something on a computer via USB? or something else? In any event, once I know what cables, then I would need to know what to do with those cables step by step. If you can help that would be great.
December 31, 2015 at 10:34 am in reply to: New Product Idea: 4 input looper recorder with some upgrades from the 45000 #121139CONTEMPL8ParticipantI really would love to see this and know others would too. I make such good music with my bandmate when we record things off the cuff that we would forget otherwise. You can really capture your personal genius and then review it and expand it after the initial recording, but the initial recording is key! Working with a DAW or even a multitrack like a Zoom 8 or 16 tracker are just too damn annoying to use. I had one before and I can’t tell you how many times I did something sweet off the cuff out of thin air with great lyrics and guitar but it was all for nought because the damn Zoom recorder didn’t record! You have to “arm” the Zoom tracks etc. and that’s just too much to worry about that you lose your train of creative thought, or you don’t actually end up with a recording like I was just saying.
I would love to see a 4 input Looper Recorder just like the 45000! I may actually buy this TASCAM thing [TASCAM DR-70D 4-Channel DSLR Audio Recorder] that is for DSLR cameras to capture audio for videos you shoot with it. http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00OY6718K?psc=1
This thing would work great, except that it doesn’t have mixdown options or track faders etc. like the 45000 has, but it does have the 4 inputs that I am looking for.God I would give a lot to have a 45000 with 4 inputs! Please make one Electro Harmonix! Seriously it would make millions of dollars for you because it makes recording so damn easy and intuitive that people get their best ideas out in ways they cannot with clunky conventional recording DAWs etc. This is seriously a breakthrough idea on top of the already breakthrough 45000. Please make it happen EHX!

CONTEMPL8ParticipantI just got a “Shure A85F Transformer; Low Z, Female XLR to High Z 1/4-Inch Phone Plug” which you can get on Amazon or most guitar/music shops locally for about $20. WOW what a difference! No need for a preamp overdrive or booster at all with this thing, and that’s a good thing because I was having feedback problems from time to time when using a preamp booster. This solves that! I think EHX should really add an internal transformer that can be switched on or off, or at least advise people buying the 45000 that if they want to use a mic then they need to buy the transformer. Only took 2 years to figure this out… haha but anyways love the 45000! Thanks EHX for making such a great looper and recorder! Looking forward to the next one you put out that maybe has 4 dedicated inputs and 8 or 16 channels so I can ditch DAWs all together, cuz I hate computers while recording.
CONTEMPL8ParticipantOk so there’s a much MUCH better solution to microphones not being loud enough when using them with the 45000! I saw this on another post on this forum talking about similar stuff and they recommended a Shure A85F Transformer; Low Z, Female XLR to High Z 1/4-Inch Phone Plug which you can get on Amazon or most guitar/music shops locally for about $20.

CONTEMPL8ParticipantYeah I got a cheap Behringer preamp guitar pedal and used that (light blue one) and it works good. Definitely takes care of the problem.
CONTEMPL8Participantlooks cool. so two loops, but each only has one track? this is more of a performance looper I would guess. very cool, but not really even in the same category as the 45000, which has 4 tracks that can be going all at once. but yeah, the all in one stomp setup on the 22500 is prob better for performance too.
September 18, 2015 at 8:16 am in reply to: Midi Syncing (daisy chaining) a PAIR of 2880 Loopers #120910CONTEMPL8ParticipantHey you two, I posted about this for the 45000 looper also, and got no replies. I even tried calling EHX and got no returned phone call. I know they’re busy making sweet gear so I forgive them. But, yeah, would be nice to get an official answer from someone with EHX insider info.
Freshchops did you get it to work?
Cryabetes, thanks for your reply, but question: have you actually tried it or are you surmising it would work? And if so, how much of a hassle is it to get a midi and get it hooked up to do this? and cost of a decent but inexpensive midi for these purposes? I have no midi experience, but if I could rig two 45000’s together so that I can record four instruments in sync on loops and then smash the 8 tracks together in an editor on my computer that would be ridiculously cool!
Thanks folks,
ChrisJuly 8, 2015 at 12:16 pm in reply to: Is there a way to use one foot switch to control two 45000 loopers simultaneously? #120764CONTEMPL8ParticipantHello hello? I might buy a second 45000 if I get the answer yes, so there’s something in it for EHX to answer this. Not much I know, but something. Haha
CONTEMPL8ParticipantYeah I hear you on all levels. Please make sure to post back afterwards to tell us if it resolved your issue, and what they say the problem is and any details further into explaining that, so that the rest of us like me can figure out what the deal is too, and whether its worth it to fix it. Thanks and good luck!
