CryabetesParticipant
they did, but it worked out because I’ve gone full bore electric and play synthesizer now. So I guess it’s pretty alright.
CryabetesParticipant1 – harmonic sympathetic drone – yes, this will do that.
2 – isolated sympathetic output – yep, will do that too.
You’ll either have to set it up so it’s in the right key or teach it the scale/notes you’ll be using. You can find the manual on the Ravish’s product page.Good luck on introducing electronics into a folk circle. The cork sniffing types in my neck of the woods pretty much excommunicated me from the folk circle for going electric, but hopefully yours will be less judgmental.
CryabetesParticipantturn your volume down on the guitar.
CryabetesParticipantyeah I hate having to change batteries so I’ve always been a passive guy. Ran a onespot to my bass once when it still ran actives and shocked the hell out of myself. Never again.
As far as the 2880, it’s gain acts as a boost if you need one but I always controlled that more with what I was running into it (with overdrives, preamps, a Boss LS-2, etc). It passed signal at unity gain with the knobs at minimum – Since the 16 second is kind of the ancestor of it, I figure maybe the design was similar.Also there may be an input gain pot on the 16 second that hasn’t been calibrated or got knocked loose but that wouldn’t really explain the identical behavior between your units.
CryabetesParticipantDo you know off hand if the input gain cuts the signal if it’s all the way down? I know my 2880 doesn’t and that I basically have to run it with the input gain off to avoid clipping (although the 2880 has really good sounding distortion when it is clipping)
CryabetesParticipantAre you running it in an effects loop or anything? what’s your pedal chain for using these?
and this will probably seem like a patronizing question, but have you tried turning down and putting a gain boost after the looper?May 4, 2012 at 12:51 pm in reply to: WTF Stereo Electric Mistress purchased online from Prymaxe NJ new does not work #117483CryabetesParticipantWe’re not electroharmonix employees here, so with the exception of Howard Davis and melx or whoever else is making pedals, there’s not really an applicable “your pedals” here.
And it seems like EHX manufacturing is at different plants all over the world, depending on which pedal you’re buying.
CryabetesParticipant…what?
Not what I asked.
Try running the preamp with the phantom power off and the 57 hooked up.CryabetesParticipantHave you tried it with a mic that doesn’t require phantom power? Does it pass signal when you do?
CryabetesParticipantwear shoes when you play?
CryabetesParticipanttry using a battery clip if you have one handy – if it works with the battery clip, there’s something wrong with your power jack. if it doesn’t work with the battery clip, there’s something wrong with your adapter.
CryabetesParticipantBasically all of them work to various degrees – Basically start by reading up on/understanding synthesizer modules and waveform shaping and you’ll have a good sense of where to start. Gain/Boost/Distortion type pedals will be less useful than Delay & Modulation, and filters will provide lots more sense of movement. As far as loopers go, an arpeggiator or sequencer will be more useful to you than a dedicated looper, unless you’re either trying to get Fluxus/minimalist type soundscapes.
CryabetesParticipant2GB is the limit; it’s something to do with how the 2880 reads data – it’ll pull data/sound from random spots if you try to use one that’s larger than 2GB, even marginally (like most components, data storage items like hard drives, flash cards, etc are made to a tolerance rather than a specific target), so aiming for UNDER 2GB is advised for glitch free operation. I know mine doesn’t like Kingston memory cards, but Viking and Sandisk work well.
CryabetesParticipantdoes the delay come through when the blend is not at max?
CryabetesParticipantyeah just a 9v (DC output) will work.
