    Yes, I’m using a one spot. I’ll give that a try. Hmm. Trying to think if I know everything on my board this is digital.

    everything boss and the electric mistress are digital right? dunlop crybaby?

    big muff, metal muff and xo worm are analog? that correct?

    no, your Blues Driver isn’t digital…. just the RC-2 and the SE Mistress.

    Thank you!

    I’ll be grateful if someone explains how the SMMWH behaves in the FX loop of a typical guitar amp. :-)

    I’ve not done it myself, but I know people have mentioned online they do run them in amps FX loops without any problems, so I’d presume it works fine.

    I got response from my emails yesterday this was the response;

    “We are going to look into this problem now, we are just becoming aware of it.”

    So who knows what we’ll have to do. Whether there’ll be a recall or if we’ll need to send them back to ehx to be repaired.

    What was weird though was i called the shop i bought the pedal from and the dude seemed fairly sure that the pedal wasn’t actually meant to save presets so who knows how long the problem has been going on for.
    Oh well just thought i’d let you all know.

    thanks for letting everyone know, if there are lots of people having this problem keeping the thread updated will help others out a lot who come here with the same problem…. lets hope you all get a solution to this soon.

    I’m about to buy a “Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai” but I need to know a couple of things:

    -Is the looper fully stereo? I mean: if, while I record a loop, I inject a sound in the left input THEN in the right one, will the recorded loop be stereo as well? If it’s the case, does it reduce the loop time to 15 seconds?

    It’s stereo but you can’t record the left and right channels at different times, you can however record in stereo and play back in stereo.

    Just bring up an old thread. I bought my Deluxe Memory Man XO from America does the power adaptor support 240V? (Australian)

    no US mains uses 110v… if you plug it in without some kind of power stepdown it will smoke… and it’s pretty dangerous to be honest.

    he sed “inverted”, as in like a negative, where its black where it should be white and vise versa. that would look so sweet on a white shirt!

    doesn’t the custom shop place any logo on any clothing you want? can we just request this?

    if that red shirt was a black shirt, with white print that would be right… we just need to get ehx to get them in that colour next time.

    the ‘Face’ logo can’t be made in the custom print shop, I think it’s because of the detail and the printing process, It was tried when they first set it up, but the print shop said ‘no’

    Thanks. I bought the micro pog because i thought it would be terrific for turning my guitar into a bass with an acoustic group i’m playing with. Our sound is pretty clean; no drums or loud rock guitars.
    So I hooked the pedal up but the others complained about the noise, which i must say is quite distracting when there isn’t distortion covering it up.

    I sent it for repair and they sent it back sounding exactly the same, initially telling me that it wasn’t “hissy” at all, which i considered crazy because i’ve owned lots of pedals and even the nastiest high gain stompbox i’ve played doesn’t hiss like that.

    by the way, i really like your expression pedal idea,
    it would let you blast in with octaves at perfect points…Have you tried DIYstompboxes forum?
    Those guys are really creative…might gang up and help you make it happen.

    i bet you EHX will add it the next gen pog

    I’ve just had a thought when you mentioned ‘acoustic group’ are you running it into a PA system or Acoustic amp? If I’m right in what I’m saying they usually have a horn or similar speaker for the top end and they probably cover a much wider frequency range than a regular guitar amp, that maybe why you are hearing a lot of hiss that most people don’t hear… just a thought. :)

    I don’t recall getting hiss with mine, but it is a year or so since I owned one. It used to make my guitar sound kinda odd and reverby though, that’s why I stopped using it.

    ok, so i decided to take the lpb-1 off my board for now. so um, is it alright if i put the SMMH on the daisy chain with my crybaby, ds-1, big buff, and small clone? cause all of the others are analog and the SMMH is digital, so will that will mess with anything?

    try it… you won’t damage anything, I used to get a high pitched whine when I chained my SMM/H with some pedals, but other people don’t get this at all, so you’ll just have to see.

    Will EHX ever sell the “inverted” electro harmonix logo t-shirts? Like this logo:

    That’d be great.

    They do, through any EHX dealer.

    Are you using it on it’s own or with other pedals? I find mine seems to lose volume sometimes depending on what pedals I have either side of it… on it’s own I don’t have that problem which leads me to believe it’s an impedance thing maybe?

    are your pickups quite low output?

    aah I get it now. The center is negative, the outside is positive. That’s what that symbol means. (Still no clue what that actually means, but hey). Same goes for the Maxon, just found out the spec for it: Center – / Sleeve +.

    To be honest I wanted the T-Rex Junior which runs 9V, but it’s out of stock everywhere in the UK, so I got the Juicy Lucy without noticing it’s 12V. Monday morning it’s getting returned to sender.

    Thanks a lot for your help, no more nooby questions from me.

    It’s no problem…

    it looks like Hotrox have the FT jr in stock, if you can get your money back.

    http://www.hotroxuk.com/t-rex-junior-font-color-white-size-2-power-supply-8494-0.html

    so it looks like if you got that you could run each pedal off a separate outlet and all would be well, that’s what I would recommend if you can.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yeh I guess I don’t need to daisy chain, but the guys at T-Rex seem to think chaining is better than using all the outputs (I have no idea why). The T-Rex Juicy Lucy claims it is also compatible with 9-volt pedals, so I thought it wouldn’t be an issue, maybe I’m wrong. I will get in contact with T-Rex about that.

    So just to clarify… The boss pedals and EHX Knockout are all center negative? The symbol on the actual pedals themselves would suggest that the boss are center negative but the EHX is just negative. If that is a stupid thing to say please forgive me. I’m a guitarist not a physicist. Wish I’d paid more attention at school.

    ok first things first (that I’m 100% on!)

    The Boss pedals are all center negative as is the knockout (if it’s the new version not the vintage one) I suspect that only the center is marked a negative on the EHX because once you know that, the outer sleeve has to be positive by default.

    I don’t really understand why T-rex are telling you to chain them (usually) it is much better for each pedal to have their own isolated output, but I’m not familiar with that power supply so maybe i’m missing something, but it seems pointless even using it if you are going to chain everything off one outlet, that’s kind of the point of buying a multi-outlet power supply.

    I don’t really know anything about the maxon, I would email them about that.

    hope this helps a little.

    I think it is lazy and lame for EHX to say this is a known issue and advise us to put a compressor before it, I fail to understand why two pedals are required to make one pedal function correctly.

    I supposed mine was faulty because to me the cut off is unacceptable, but now it seems I’ll either have to live with it or find a better alternative.

    Where have you got this information?

    EHX told you to buy a compressor?!? have you contacted them?

    If you aren’t happy with it why not take it back to the shop you bought it from and get a refund? How do you know that it isn’t faulty have you had it checked?

    People in this thread are just offering advice while trying to understand the problem you have with your pedal. Just because some people find the microsynth works well with a compressor it shouldn’t be necessary to have one for it to function.

    a couple of questions..

    why are you chaining anything when you have a power supply with several outputs? The whole point of a multi-output supply is to stop you needing to daisy chain anything (and saving you the potential problems of doing it)

    also the maxon might be noisey because according to the specs it takes the 9v coming in and uses a DC-DC voltage converter to bump this up to 18 volts, if I’m right the Juicy Lucy provides 12v outputs, I’m not 100% that it’s a good idea putting 12v into something that’s designed to convert 9v into 18v already.

    to be honest I think you need to contact T-rex and Maxon, the boss pedals and the knockout should all be the same 9v center negative but I can’t say for sure they will be fine with 12v.
