Look, if it were something that had a bajillion submenus or a routing matrix or something actually complicated, then yeah my post would be a jackass move. but asking ‘hey do you have the same positions as these well known artists memorized?’ when the entire point behind an analog pedal is to let you DIAL IN THE SOUND YOU WANT- not jump to a preset – is its own jackass move. It shows you’re willing to throw money and not time into your sound setup.
You got the answer you deserved hombre.
CryabetesParticipant^^ that too, if your computer can handle it.
CryabetesParticipantyou’ve got ears man, turn knobs and make sounds. if you don’t like those specific sounds, keep turning knobs and making sounds.
CryabetesParticipantit’s only worded awkwardly because it’s one hell of a run-on sentence.
The 2880 does indeed receive midi clock data and use it for quantizing (snapping-to-grid) loops.
As far as timing goes, that’ll be dependent on 1- your computer not to lag/glitch 2- you not using the CC #’s of the EHX’s start/stop commands, which will just in general cause synchronization problems.I use mine with hardware grooveboxes and I don’t have a problem with clock drift provided the quantize and ext clock buttons are lit. Both need to be lit to sit flush with the BPM.
CryabetesParticipantnewer ones are center negative
older ones are tip positive.
If yours has a power jack that isn’t headphone jack sized, it’s a newer one.CryabetesParticipantMaybe next one you get, get rehoused right away by the guys at Koma Elektronik [berlin] or somewhere. It’s unfortunate that it broke.
Also if the bypass isn’t working, you may just have a busted footswitch, which is less EHX’s fault and more whatever company made the footswitch.
CryabetesParticipantI think a CV/tap input is more useful though. Then you can sync it to whatever timecode or just hook up a sustain pedal and tap tap tap away.

CryabetesParticipant^^that
CryabetesParticipantthree effects sends + one master out. six effects sends if you’re sending/receiving signals in stereo.
fx send 1 – 2880 in
fx send 2 – M13 input
fx send 3 – M13 effects loop return (and probably the fx blender and everything with that between the fx send 3 output and the m13 effects loop return)you’ll also need four input channels –
input 1 – guitar/blues driver in
input 2 – 2880 output
input 3 – M13 effects loop send
input 4 – M13 outputIf you are using everything in mono, you could get by with my personal on-stage mixer of choice, the Behringer 1002B. It’s cheap, light/small, has faders for all the inputs, easy to use and doesn’t have a wallwart power supply. You’d have to use the ‘pan’ knobs and one of the outputs (either left or right) as one of the effects sends though.
CryabetesParticipantyep. you’ll need more sends, but then you can use it for paralell processing if you’d want too. Essentially you break the M13 into M13(pre) and M13(post).
The M13’s input to FXloop send is (Pre), the input comes from an fx send bus on the mixer, the fxloop send goes to its own channel.
Then the M13 return goes to an fx send bus on the mixer, and the output goes to its own channel(s) on the mixer (post).Now as long as the (pre) mixer channel goes to whatever you want in the effects loop, and the effects loop return goes to the (post) send, it’ll behave rather identically to the typical m13 effects loop.
Also, like I said before, this opens up the possibility of paralell processing – have the guitar sound send to the (pre) and (post) channels simultaneously and both of those routed out to the amp. which is exciting. to me, anyway.
CryabetesParticipantdo you know if you can use the FX blender as an expression pedal with an insert cable? and can you set up the M13 to use an expression pedal to control effects send level?
CryabetesParticipantsetup 1:
telecaster to blues driver
blues driver to left input of 2880
left output of 2880 to M13 input
M13 effects send to FX blender input
FX blender send to small stone
small stone to DCF10
DCF10 to magic stomp
magic stomp to FX blender return
FX blender out to M13 effects return
M13 output to right input of 2880
right output of 2880 to JC120
downsides to this: can’t play guitar through JUST the M13 + its effects loop effects, or loop based off that. may have some awful phase cancellation.
setup 2
telecaster to bluesdriver
bluesdriver to channel one of mixer
FX send one of mixer to M13
M13 effects send to FX blender
FX blender effects send to small stone
small stone to DCF10
DCF10 to Magicstomp
Magicstomp to FX blender return
FX blender out to M13 return
M13 out to channel two of mixer
FX send two of mixer to 2880
2880 to mixer channel three (or three/four if using stereo)
mixer output to JC120
This would allow you to route everything pretty much however you want (dry, m13-wet, 2880-wet, m13-and 2880-wet only, etc). You’ll want to leave the dry slider on the 2880 all the way down.
Downsides: JC120 probably expecting high impedance signal so may result in ‘weak’ sound. Will probably take a bit of playing to get the levels to the mixer right, so they aren’t clipping. Have to buy a mixer.
CryabetesParticipantThe first involves using the input/output panning on the 2880 for a second effects send. I’m fairly certain it has significant drawbacks due to not being able to choose the input source (and your non-looping sound ending up being half dry if you want any effects). The second should work quite a bit better but would be prone to feedback loops if you’re careless.
CryabetesParticipantI’m not really sure what the problem is. Do you have a spare mixer you can use? preferably one with two effects sends? I have two ideas you could try but i’m not entirely certain they’d work, and one requires a mixer.
