    Killer. Put some tracks up.

    sure thing, here are some recent sound improvisations using mainly acoustic guitar:

    I saw your other post too. There’s no reason for this, you may have a bum pedal. Assuming its still under warranty you maybe should return it to where you got it for a different one.

    did exactly that, just wanted to make sure i wasn’t missing something before i did so… all is well now!

    The Haz is awesome though. I don’t have a 2880, I just wish I did.

    no doubt, i love the haz — i have been using it a lot on its own as a streamlined setup (binaural condensers into the hazarai) i actually prefer the recording only when stomping on the box for shorter (<30sec) loops -- i wish one of the footswitches on the 2880 would replicate this method for recording (especially for punching in/out)

    however, the hazarai is killer in combination with the 2880 (at least for me it acts kinds of like a hub, combining acoustic instruments, loops + effects) i now essentially have two different pipes that come together at the haz — one being a condenser microphone->preamp->volume->smmwh and the other being humbucker->volume->effects->smmwh

    from the hazarai they go into the 2880 and then sometimes even a powerbook for further live manipulation

    Read your post and quickly checked it out on mine. I had no attenuation at all with the repeats at 5 o’clock. I kept recording over and over and the all the layers remained at the same volume, a total mess :freak: :).

    great, thanks so much — this answers my question — i appreciate it!

    i’ll answer my own question incase anyone else is curious in the future

    preliminary results are very good – the sound coming through is more than acceptable when recording guitar — even other ambient sounds as well

    i’ll try to post again when i have had more detailed experience with the setup

    _

    so far i have been really happy with the setup — except for a couple of issues such as:

    1. no stereo dry out — the 2880 squashes incoming stereo signal into mono before sending it out as your dry signal… https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/946/

    2. the stereo memory man i have seems to always have attenuation when overdubbing … https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/950/

    overdubbing:

    if you have the slider set to 100% you get no attenuation — the loop remains at the same level as before after each overdub

    if you have the slider set to 50% — only 50% of the level of the previously recorded loop will remain after the overdub

    when you are not overdubbing, just playing back the loop(s):

    the volume sliders act as simple volume for each track

    hope this helps? /d

    it kills me that I can’t run any of my stereo pedals into the Holiest grail.

    I agree. It would have been awesome to send the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai into the Holiest Grail :doh:

    +1 on this — id pick up a holiest grail in a heartbeat if it had true stereo in/out … not so holy without it…

    any legitimacy to this rumor? i have been in the market for a looper — the 2880 has been quite attractive, but i have actually been very hesitant in purchasing having the unit being a little long in the tooth…

    would love to hear from EHX on this one…
