If you are finding that the Dry level is good, and the CLIP LEDs are not lighting then the TRACK faders should come down about two dashed lines from their maximum setting.
Here are some suggested starter settings to getting unity gain through the 95000, using the 1/4″ input:
• Input Gain knob just below 12 o’clock
• MASTER LVL knob at maximum
• L & R Dry faders at maximum
• Track faders about 2 dashed lines below maximum
• Pan pots at center for mono use or wherever you like them for stereo use. When the Pan pots are not at center it will throw off the gain structure a bit.
• Use the L output for mono or both L & R outputs for stereo.Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorDo the tracks playback at the same volume level as when you record them?
How many tracks do you have going before you hear the clipping? For example do you hear clipping immediately after recording just Track 1? Do you hear the clipping after 4 tracks are filled up?
Does the clipping change at all if you bring down the track faders?
What are you plugging the output of the 95000 into?
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:That signal flow diagram was basically perfect, worked out it was a problem on the PA amplifier end of the chain! The Super Pulsar is working perfectly!Just one quick question regarding switching to Clock-In mode: once you have set it is it saved? Or will bank presets default to NOT reading the clock if that’s how they were originally saved?? I basically want to ensure the pedal is ALWAYS reading the clock-in source.
Cheers
MattGood to hear it’s working now.
The Clock-In mode setting is saved with presets. If you have a preset that you’ve already created and want to change it to Clock-In mode:
– First load the preset
– Then change over to Clock-In mode by holding the WAVE INVERT button and then TAP footswitch
– Now save the presetIf you set the Super Pulsar to Clock-In mode while in WYSIWG, the new presets that you save will recall Clock-In mode.

I first was trying to put an AIFF audio file into the pedal, but later realized that it needed to be a WAV file, 16-bit, sample rate of 44.1kHz, and must be in stereo. So, I deleted the AIFF file from the pedal (along with USERBANK.SET and BANKTMPO.TXT), converted it to a WAV file (16-bit, 44.1kHz, stereo), and then put in the pedal. It started to work for a moment and then all of a sudden my computer said that the pedal was improperly disconnected and I never even touched anything. Now it won’t even show up on my computer when I plug the pedal in, the foot controller won’t toggle through the banks, and the pedal itself says there’s nothing saved to it. However, I can take out the SD card from the pedal and plug it into my computer and the SD shows up fine on the computer. Also, the SD card shows that I do have files saved to it. I tried updating it with the new firmware update since I can plug the SD card in separately, but since the pedal is not working the update doesn’t work. Please help!

Try reformatting the SD card but before you do you probably should backup everything on the card to your computer.
It sounds like the card became corrupted from the 22500’s viewpoint at least. After reformatting, try using the empty SD card in the 22500 to see if works normally. If it does then begin putting your Loop and Bank folders back on the SD card and see if any specific folder causes the 22500 to choke. If it does then the folder can no longer be used on the 22500.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Love this pedal! I was working with version 28 and its ocassional lockups.Just today, received notification of update 36. Installed it. Everything was OK, but after a while, with a couple of ill-placed switch presses, version 36 got into a state in which only Loop A can be recorded.
I’ll reinstall version 36, but I think that there may be a problem lurking there somewhere.
Has anybody seen this?
Has this problem continued to occur on your 22500? It might be a good idea to try re-formatting the SD card if it does continue.

Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Quote:Quote:Hi there, a seperate query regarding the clock and how to operate it (or not in my case!):I wanted to run the Super Pulsar from Ableton and thought a novel idea might be connecting the Clock In to a metronome output on my audio interface. I put a 50hz pulse into my metronome tone and it seems to work fine.
However there is definitely electricity somewhere in the circuit – there is no audible hum through any of the audio signal however when I go to unplug the jack from either my interface or the Pulsar, there is loud buzzing and/or pops coming through my PA…
Despite it working is there some reason electricty could be entering the signal or is it more likely to be a problem elsewhere in my setup, with my PA amplifier for instance??
Any ideas?
If I understand you correctly when you connect the Super Pulsar to your audio interface you start to hear 50Hz hum through your PA? If you disconnect the audio interface from the Super Pulsar the 50Hz hum goes away? Is this correct?
No – I read that the Super Pulsar clock can read frequencies below 150Hz (I think??) so I’ve inserted a 50Hz pulse into my metronome – the logic being that I can’t hear it in my headphones when using the metronome myself, but that I could plug the Super Pulsar clock into the same headphone output and it be able to read the 50Hz pulse.
It seems to have worked but I think there’s electricity somewhere in my audio signal – I was wondering if there was any chance this could be connected to the Clock In source? Somehow electricity coming from my interface or something?!?! Or is the Clock In source entirely seperate and the electricity will be coming from elsewhere – an issue with my PA amplifier for instance?
The Super Pulsar’s Clock In GND is shared with all of the Super Pulsar’s other I/O jacks. So the Super Pulsar’s audio in and out have the same ground as the Clock In.
Can you send a photo of the connections or maybe a signal flow diagram? Something like:
Ableton -> USB Interface -> Super Pulsar Clock In
Guitar -> Super Pulsar Left In -> Super Pulsar Left Out -> PA channelMarch 29, 2018 at 2:02 pm in reply to: Deluxe Big Muff pi noise gate stutters or alternates at every position #123751Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Bringing back this thread because I am having similar issues.I bought the Deluxe Muff Pi as a high-gain fuzz and planned to use the noise gate to keep my signal silent when not playing. Pedal works great but every time the gate activates it lets out a click. Normally I would fix this on a noise gate with the attack function, but the Muff only has the one gate knob. Is there a way to eliminate this click when the gate opens, as it happens EVERY time regardless of the settings (if I drop all settings to 0 but the gate, I can still hear the click of the gate opening).
It can be heard over the mix and is really out of place. Any suggestions/advice/anyone else with this issue?
This sounds like the gate is malfunctioning and needs to be repaired. If this is a new purchase I recommend you either exchange for a different unit or send it in for repair. Try info@ehx.com if you want to send it in.

And do you think you guys are going to solve it soon? As it is really annoying if you have to reset the pedal so many times. The truth is that I’ve kinda lost the will to work with it. I also noticed that, if I set the INPUT knob at 12 o’clock, the sound starts to distorce. Is that right? What’s the ideal input gain so the guitar signal is not affected?I’m not sure if you saw the update, but here’s a link to the 22500 update which should fix this bug: https://www.ehx.com/assets/22500-firmware/22500-firmware-36.zip

March 23, 2018 at 1:14 pm in reply to: Silencer Do I use My Amps Effects Loop or just the Silencer Effects Loop #123734Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:I just purchased a Silencer and I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate my Amps Effects Loop.
Do I use the Effects Loop on my Blackstar Stage 60 or do I just use the Effects Loop built in to the Silencer??
Thank you,
kkdarlingThanks for purchasing a Silencer! Your amp’s FX loop and the Silencer’s FX loop don’t have anything to do with each other although they serve similar purposes. If you want to reduce the noise of the pedals in your amp’s FX loop then you would connect the Silencer to the signal chain in the amp’s FX loop. If you have pedals before your amp’s input and you want to reduce their noise then you would connect the Silencer to the pedals before your amp.
Here are a couple ways you connect the Silencer to an amp’s FX loop:
1) You could connect the output of the last pedal in the effects loop to the Silencer’s Input jack and the Silencer’s Output jack to the amp’s FX return,
2) You could connect the amp’s FX Send to the Silencer’s INPUT jack, the Silencer’s FX SEND to the input of the first pedal in the chain, the output of the last pedal in the chain to the Silencer’s FX RETURN and finally the Silencer’s OUTPUT jack to the amp’s FX Return.
The way the Silencer works is that the signal present at the Input jack determines when the gate mutes or unmutes. A loud input signal unmutes the Silencer’s output, a quiet signal causes its output to mute.
If the Silencer’s FX loop is not being used than the output signal originates from the Input jack, in other words the signal at the Input jack is muted/unmuted at the Output jack.
If the Silencer’s FX Return jack has a plug inserted, then the Silencer’s output signal originates from the Return jack, so that the Return’s signal is muted/unmuted at the Output jack. A quiet signal at the Input jack mutes the Return jack’s signal at the Silencer’s Output jack.
The Silencer’s FX Send jack is a copy of the signal present at the Silencer’s Input jack.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorNo. The CC range of 0 to 127 is mapped over the range of the RATE slider.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorThe 8 Step does not save MIDI Clock tempo to presets.
Yes you can send a MIDI CC value to the 8 Step to set the tempo. The RATE slider’s MIDI CC number is 24. The 8 Step will save the CC value to a preset.
