    oh, btw… it is against the forums policy to sell directly on here (long story) but if you wanted to list it somewhere else and link from here that’s fine as long as the ‘deal’ isn’t done on this forum. :)

    Hi mate there is a thread about them here.

    https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/149/

    could you please do us all a massive favour and open it up and take some pictures of the insides because nobody seems to be able to find out just what version of the muff is inside and if it is any different to a regular muff. If you could do that before you sell it, we’d really appreciate it. .. as for value, no idea.. but If I had one I wouldn’t let it go for under £200….maybe more than that.

    How did you acquire it?

    Ok so he says power adapter follies, and you say here are all the ones that take Boss style. Sure ok that’s all well and good. Does the Small Clone run on a 9V battery? Yes I think it does. So does it run on a Boss style adapter? I don’t think so because it’s not in the list. That’s the real folly. It’s not that some pedal might need 58 volts or something for head room, it’s when a 9V pedal doesn’t use a Boss style 9V -ve centre 2.1mm jack.

    EDIT: Right from the instruction pdf it says this.

    “For optimum performance, use a 9V battery, although a 9V 100ma tippositive
    AC adapter with an 1/8″ plug can also be used (not included).”

    The defense rests your honor. Case closed. I find MR. EHX guilty of power adapter follies.

    SO that would be a no on me purchasing a Small Clone.

    ah, but those mini jack 9v inputs used to be very common, EHX, MXR, DOD, proco Rat and a number of other pedals all used them in the past, it’s only fairly recently that the Boss type has become some sort of ‘standard’ … and when you buy a one-spot you get 2 of those adapters with it, so it’s no problem anyway. When EHX make a new version I’m 100% sure it will have the boss type connector.

    …actually, I think Rat’s still have those old style connectors.

    I really like the Boss SD-1 for a low gainer. I was amazed how much I liked it.

    So they’ve got that “Space Is The Place” video on the blog and pretty much everything in the description points to some sort of synthesizer or drum machine or both machine at NAMM… I’m feeling a Space Drum of the 21st century and possibly some sort of EHX synth. Seriously, read the description:

    “In the 1970s Electro-Harmonix was the consummate innovator in the design of wildly creative instruments that have had a profound effect on the evolution of sonic and rhythmic textures. Space is the Place was created with EH percussive and synthesis instruments that display a cutting edge sonic creativity that clearly pointed to the future.”

    The implicit “percussive and synthesis instruments” gloating and ‘pointed to the future’ seem to be pointing to a little somethin somethin.

    mmm, I don’t know about that..

    “This composition showcases various electronic devices made in the 1970s by ElectroHarmonix. In addition to a DRM-15 Digital Rhythm Matrix, a DRM-16, a DRM-32, a Clap Trap, an Electronic Crash Drum and a Super Space Drum, we have two MiniSynths, both of which required some rehabilitation. Each sounds completely different from the other. In this composition one is panned left; the other panned right. The track was recorded live in two passes, the first with the rhythm machines and the bass MiniSynth and then the second with the lead MiniSynth. For small, primitive devices, they make a lot of sound!”

    I don’t think that has anything to do with what might be at Namm… but who knows?

    but the chips in the old ones, the ones that made the dmm a legend are which type ?

    I presume you are talking about MN3008 BB delay chips, if so I believe they are in the XO DMM. I’ve never actually seen inside one though.

    well it depends what ‘chips’ you are talking about. As far as I’m aware the XO DMM uses surface mount op-amp IC’s and 4x NOS Panasonic MN3008 BB delay IC’s. So everyone is right, the OP just said ‘old style chips’ the XO DMM uses both ‘old style chips’ and ‘surface mount chips’ … surface mount for the op-amps, and old pinned BB delay chips.

    Cryabetes is right that some models had 2x 3005’s that’s because these have double the delay time of the original 3008’s, so you only need two for the same delay time, but it really depends on what you consider an ‘old version’ I think the ones using 2x 3005 were the ’00 re-issues, I’ve never seen an ‘original’ one with those IC’s in.

    anyway it’s all bollocks, use your ears… like the Big Muff there has been loads of different versions of the DMM and they all sound a bit different.

    do they ever do shows like this in england ?

    i would love to go to namm, but itd cost a fortune you know ?

    I think the closest is ‘Music Live’ at the Birmingham NEC… that’s Novemeber I think.. and there’s also the ‘The Professional Lighting and Sound Association’ trade show at earl’s court. Neither are quite the same thing, but may be worth a look.

    you can, but it’s probably better off here in the lounge.

    I believe it’s a power switch to turn the pedal on and off.

    anyone do extensive testing with a 4ohm cab? i’ve read places that it doesn’t work at all or is significantly different that running it through an 8 or 16ohm cab. i know the manual says 8 and 16 is preferred, but if they know it doesn’t perform as well on a 4ohm cab, why even promote that.

    https://www.ehx.com/products/22-caliber

    it isn’t being promoted as working at 4 ohms any more, it was at first but as soon as EHX heard some people were having problems using it with 4ohm cabs they changed it. You could probably get away with it at low volumes but it will usually cut out if you push it above 1/2 volume so not recommended.

    no, it won’t make any difference at all.

    This is a dissapointing unit, I’m not the only one who thinks so.Check other reviews on the net. The unit does not do what it claims properly. The harmony side is eratic. It will harmonise with one chord then the next will be a minor, even though you played a major, or it won’t make up its mind and a note fluctuates. I notice all the videos are only simple chord patterns and slow paced. I now realize the reason for that.
    However on the good side the vocoder is realy great. Just feel a bit done over the harmony side.
    Wont be buying any more products from E H.

    I think some people expect too much from a £129 floor unit. Personally I think it’s amazing what it can do for the price, no other company has anything like it….. have a look at the prices of rack harmonizers, you are talking thousands. Some people can’t sing in tune either which doesn’t help. I’ve heard some excellent results with it, but clearly you have to work within the limitations of the unit and the persons ability to sing in tune in the first place.
