you can do pretty much all of this with a moogerfooger MuRF, except the presets.
cheers.

is the power supply daisy chained to other effects? which version of the HG (nano, sheet metal box, HG+, holier/holiest grail) do you have? what power adapter are you using?

Okay, I get why you are having gain issues with the effects loop, but I’m not sure you know what you’re talking about with the “doesn’t sound good at all” (before-amp delay).

the gain issues/fx loop problems are because of how an analog delay works- inside, there are typically three main chips- the ‘clock’ chip, which works with the ‘delay’ chip, and a compander (compressor+expander) chip, typically an NE570 or 571, which is set to the headroom of the delay chip. if you’re running extremely high gain signals, they’re going to get smashed down by the compander so that the delay chip isn’t going to be damaged by the signal.

that “I just can’t believe it” attitude will go away if you spend some time learning what your gear does. (and since when are delay and reverb classical loop effects? I don’t agree that there is a “classical” loop effects. effects loops are for
1- using shorter cables to get to your pre-amp and
2- using a low impedance output to drive a pedal – you get the same thing by using a buffered pedal as the first in your chain.)

yep. or if you have a powerbrick type PS (a la the voodoo labs power supply), it’ll probably help eliminate some of that.

Nope. no ring things here. slightly too poor/into delays for intense filters and modulation. But I made an assumption because 1- I have two yamaha fc-7s who both work terrifically
2- a boss ev-5 works with the ring thing
2a- a boss ev-5 is a 10K pot in a specialised enclosure
2b- the fc-7 is a 50K pot ” ” ” ” thus resulting in better range

I hadn’t read your review when I posted but it sounded like he was using mono plug expression pedals.

actually when you used the FC-7 for your ring thing, was all the motion recognised in the first couple degrees from the heel-down/toe-up position?

using them with my boss ps-3 does that too (with the boss re-20 works fine though…)

i’m kind of amazed at how many people use the click track on this- I tried once and thought “well that was nice, now I do not have to ever use that again”. is it really that hard to count to rhythm?

‘Undo’ or ‘Clear Track’ buttons would be nice.
as would l/r channel or track selectable muting (you know, hit a button and all the sudden the drums come crashing in).
maybe multiple cf card bays + a selection switch (that’d be, what, DP48T? lol) [actually this could be a separate product] to make song transitions not feel as much like changing games on an NES.

multiply would be handy too but i think i’d get lazy and use it too often so maybe leave that out.

the interesting thing about 1st gen digital delays, fm synthesis, all the flavors of stuff that’s widely dismissed as ‘crap’ from the 80’s is it’s a different flavor. The old DOD DFX line and the Digitech RDS/PDS units are building their own little cult followings not unlike analog delays. I’m gonna go out on a limb here but I think that bitcrushed delay is going to be a definite option on modeled pedals (L6/Boss type rot) in the near future. I mean, follow the prices on a PDS8000 on ebay, the only analog delay pedals going for as much as they do are the early Memory Men [Memory Mans? how do you pluralise that?], Ibanez AD9s and Boss DM-2s.

dremeyguy- you know there’s only so much you can do to an audio signal right? I mean you can add harmonics or clip peaks [distortions/fuzzes], repeat a signal [delays, ‘verbs, modulations], drive a filter or oscillator [synth effects] or emphasis EQ curves [eq’s, preamps, distortions, overdrives, etc]. You can combine these any number of ways, but I don’t think we’ll ever have a tugger.
