April 11, 2013 at 12:46 pm in reply to: Midi Syncing (daisy chaining) a PAIR of 2880 Loopers #118909CryabetesParticipant
lucky you, to not only have two but to be using one at your office. I barely get to use the internet at my office.
Yes, you can daisy chain them together. You can even set them to the same midi channel so you can send the same cc messages. You could also chain them in parallel so their loops are non-aligning but they’re both quantized to the same midi clock.
In any case, the second looper would need to be in external clock mode (the first would need to if you’re syncing to an outside midiclock source) and you’d likely want the quantize button on the second pressed as well.
CryabetesParticipantIt can and does. You just need the “external clock” mode on, as well as “quantize”.
One thing to watch out for though – when changing tempo, your loops will change in pitch as well.November 9, 2012 at 10:11 pm in reply to: Does the V256 Vocoder need to be plugged into an amp for sound? #118373CryabetesParticipantYep, it needs an amp. Basically any vocoder will need an amp. You could get away with a little 9v mini amp thing for your costume, I know danelectro makes them.
CryabetesParticipantEHX typically uses 10K expression pedals, although I’m not sure about the Riddle in particular. Using the 50K expression pedal won’t hurt anything, but you’d only have about 40% of the sweep doing anything. You could always make a step down adapter, if you’re handy with a soldering iron.
CryabetesParticipantQuite. Then yes, that would be either a defective model (is yours still under warranty, or, failing that, returnable to the point of purchase?) or an outand-out design flaw. I suppose it would be impractical to run a DI between the soul preacher and whatever is next in the pedal chain (or, largely futile if the daisy chain power is on both sides of the compressor.) Have you looked into other compressors at all? Any particular aspects you’re after, aside from the ability to daisy-chain sans hum?
(I didn’t mean to come off as particularly antagonistic in this exchange, incidentally; we get people of all music- & electrical-knowledge levels here and it’s difficult to discern where they are on the spectrum of experience with effects.)
CryabetesParticipantWould you mind posting your setup? Just like
guitar > (pitchblack) > (whatever else) > (model of amp) or whatever? Also what brand of adapter are you using? It may be an issue with your amp, it could be one of the pedals you’re using has something feeding into the grounds, it could be loose winding on your pickups, or, yeah, it could be a faulty soul preacher. But I’d be hesitant to dismiss a pedal when it could be something else entirely.CryabetesParticipanthaven’t heard of this being an issue before. what other pedals are you running?
CryabetesParticipantyep. just remember, until you sum the delays again, your signal will be at half amplitude (volume) on each channel, so you’d need to adjust your feedback settings accordingly.
CryabetesParticipantIf I recall correctly, they changed the algorithm in the POG2 so it responded a bit quicker (not that there’s anything wrong with the POG’s algorithms, just a tiny bit less latency in the POG2). Also, the POG takes a proprietary 14v power supply, whereas the POG2 is standard 2.1mm 9v. Organ sound wise, you’d want the low pass filter of the POG2. I’d save up the little bit extra for the POG2. Hope this helps.
CryabetesParticipantIt’s replaceable with a standard SPST momentary switch (I can’t recall at the moment whether it’s normally open or closed), the likes of which can be ordered from small bear electronics or what have you. It’s a fairly simple repair if it does go out, but the stock switch is good for 10K stomps, give or take.
CryabetesParticipantI really don’t care much for the dynacomp sound – I kind of associate it with Phish cover bands – but that’s just me.
Not sure how you’re thinking a smashup would be too big – it’s not much bigger than a boss pedal, when oriented sideways. Another idea would be build a 2″ riser into your pedal board and put a cheap rack compressor underneath.CryabetesParticipantI really like the Alesis Smashup; It’s not a pedal but it does have a footswitch jack (so you could use like, an amp fs) and you can pick them up on ebay for about $45.
I think its max ratio is like, 10:1 but it will squash.
October 19, 2012 at 12:54 pm in reply to: Big Muff Pi doesn’t light up (sometimes), no sound (sometimes) #118293CryabetesParticipantsounds like the switch may be busted; Next time it starts doing the weird behavior, see if you can’t stop for a moment and grab something to test whether the switch is acting the same on each pull.
CryabetesParticipantYou are correct in your assessment of the pedals. How harsh of a limiter are you looking for? Are you planning on having it on all the time or would it be kind of on a per-song basis?
