    you could be peaking out the compander on the carbon copy. I’m not sure what they use for the all pass filters on a phase 90 but if they’re “transparent” compression stages, it’s very likely you’re fully saturating them. Somewhat ironically, I’d suggest you get a small compressor like the nano soul preacher, Boss CS-3, or Alesis Smashup to put after the delay or phaser.

    Let me know if you’re following what I’m saying or if you want a more detailed explanation.

    if you use a condensor mic going into an amp in the same room, you will not get flutes/vocoders/etc, you will just get feedback.

    What kind of delay or phaser is it?

    remember, it could always be a lot worse

    sounds like nonsense to me too; Do you have one of the loops as a wav file that you could post so I can hear what you’re talking about? maybe via soundcloud or something?

    you’ll want to use the fx send to connect to the instrument input of your mixer so it isn’t feeding back into itself. Try it with headphones first – get that working – THEN use the amp.

    If you don’t have an fx send, you can do this with the Pan control – pan the signal you want to vocode against to the Left channel, pan the output of the voicebox to the right channel.

    mine doesn’t do that. It will cut off when you stop recording but you can get around that by making the loop then overdubbing the initial loop. It’ll also duck when you (on the recording track, while the record button is lit) lower the volume slider at the end of the loop while it’s playing through.

    Do you suppose the combination of pedals/guitars/cabling weighs more or less than the 220lb monstrosity that is the CS80? If we were to recreate this live, that is.

    The Shure 55 (the “elvis style” vintage mic)…… yeah they sound terrible. the antifeedback foam makes you sound like you’ve got a tshirt balled up in your mouth. the muffling is really bad.

    As far as an awesome sounding vintage mic, the Shure Green Bullet is a great sounding kind of “megaphone-effect” mic that you can use live (don’t have to worry about feedback).

    hm. either sounds like the LFO is coming directly through (not too likely given that everything else is working) or that the phaser’s notches are creating a peak at lower frequencies which, while normally not a terrible thing (or at least, a very noticable thing) is working with the white noise from your guitar. Have you tried it with a different guitar at all?
    or just a fuzz pedal cranked all the way up (just a patch cable in the input of the fuzz, no instrument driving it) to see if it exists with other equipment?

    Well stuff like the Taurus is expensive but there are cheaper alternatives, from buying a cheap midikeyboard and physicially modifying the keys to stuff like the soft step

    But look at it this way – the big expense in pedal manufacture, especially at small scale is jacks, footswitches, etc. Changing out that for pin/cartridge systems is a huge money saver.

    why not record without it and just use a VST or DX reverb if it’s messing with you? or reamp it- record direct from BEFORE the cathedral and then play that back into the rest of your signal chain/amp, if your ‘verb isn’t the last thing, and record the output.

    honestly, it’d be really cool if it could do microloops like you’re describing, especially if you could turn on and off the spp markers so you could do live glitch/IDM type sets.

    I’m saying it’s far easier to do with a sampler, and less costly if you were to just buy a sampler in the first place.

    the last point about chainging tempos, it does this. due to the associated pitch shift, I haven’t found a reason to use it that way yet but it does indeed do that.
