    Do you have any recordings, videos, or pics you would share of you performing with EHX gear?

    What are some of your favorite EHX products?

    a classified section restricted to only ehx would be great. i know fenderehx4ever already has every ehx product made, but it would give us other guys a chance at some of the unobtanium.

    LOL

    That would be EH Man, but i have aspirations.

    This week for me has been all about Sam Prekop Old Punch Card and the Bonus CD from his book Photographs.

    Join me in the “Pedal Hoarders Unashamed Club” (PHUC) where you don’t have to feel guilty about collecting cool pedals anymore. Repeat after me, “Having a lot of cool gear isn’t a crime against musicians” ;)

    nice one. glad you sorted it…..

    so explain again in simple terms, what exactly does this let you do?

    I can run both DRMs in tandem and in clock sync.

    For example, I could have the 32 playing a ROCK rhythm, and the 15 playing a FUNK rhythm to create a polyrhythm. Better yet, I can run each into its own channel, and get full stereo separation from them, creating a stereo interplay of the polyrhythms.

    I can also change the modes while in operation to mix it up.

    Melx, you are gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for offering :thumb:

    I happened to have an old momentary footswitch lying around, and I had a couple of old pancake style stereo plugs. I just soldered it together tonight, and presto… I have a reset switch that resyncs these machines. I just tested it out, and it works a charm.

    And thank you, Cryabetes, for the momentary switch idea. Brilliant.

    just reading that, wouldn’t it be S-Trigger? because your hand is shorting the cable’s signal and ground?

    That makes sense. Thanks :thumb:

    I finally got them sync’d, anyways, through some more trial and error determination. I took a stereo patch cable, then pulled the plug out halfway from the Clock-In input. Also, I set the DRM 15’s tempo to zero, and engaged it as the DRM 32 was beginning its loop cycle. The DRM 15 then becomes a slave to the DRM 32. I can also change the settings (except for the Tempo knob) on both units to create some really great hybrid rhythms. To change tempos, it seems like I’ll have to reset or re-sync the 2 units every time.

    So now my question is, how can I build a footswitch that will allow me to release/engage the CV line so I don’t have to re-sync it by pulling the plug out of the Clock-In, then putting back in again halfway?

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CV/Gate

    “Gate (Trigger) also has two implementations:

    V-Trigger (“voltage trigger”, sometimes called “positive trigger”). This method involves keeping normally low voltage (around 0 V) on trigger and producing a fixed positive voltage to indicate a note is on. The amount of voltage required differs from synth to synth, but generally it is from 2 to 10 V. V-Trigger is used by Roland and Sequential Circuits synths, among others.

    S-Trigger (“short circuit trigger”, sometimes called “negative trigger”). This one involves keeping voltage high normally, shorting the trigger circuit whenever the note should play. S-Trigger is used by Moog, Korg and Yamaha synths, among others.

    Depending on the voltage level used, using the wrong combination of triggering mechanism would either yield no sound at all or would reverse all keypress events (i.e. sound will be produced with no keys pressed and muted on keypress).”

    So when if connect a cable to the Clock In of the DRM 15, and I hold the bare plug, the DRM 15 stops. When I release it, the DRM 15 starts again. So is that V-Trigger or S-Trigger?

    I’m guessing that it is V-trigger, thinking that my hand is sending a low voltage current to the DRM 15, thus triggering it on.

    The Deluxe Memory Man has always been guilty of audible white noise in the signal. The white noise is more prominent in some units, different components, different tolerances, different trim pot settings, etc. I own 4 DMMs from a variety of generations, and all of them having varying degrees of audible white noise. I always just passed it off as part of the analog charm.

    My take is:

    DMM for classic delay tones
    SMMH for new territory

    The reissue Hot Tubes with the 2 12ax7 valves is great for classic rock. The treble and bass knobs are a paracyclic filter, so they dont behave like a traditional eq section. They behave more like a wah, which allows for some mid rangey tones. If you like Ronson era Bowie, the Hot Tubes will appeal to you.

    I tried mine though a 1×12 yesterday and it could get pretty loud while staying clean, not sure if it would make gigging volume though – guess it would depend on how loud your drummer is and what the monitors are like.

    I gig in an instrumental trio and anticipate venues with no PA support (so far so good though). Based on your response, sounds like I should be looking at the 44 rather than the 22. It would be running into a 1X12 closed back cabinet at 16 ohms…

    Yes, 44 for “gigging” cleans. But if you want some loud crunch or recording cleans, the .22 sounds great.
