What size is the new CF card that you bought? Did you format it for FAT16?

It does sound like your 2880 is defective, and the problem is more than just the CF card but the unit itself. If you cannot return/exchange it from where you bought it, you can send it in for a warranty repair. Contact Chip at poster@sovtek.com.

Hey Poly,

I was sort of replying to all of the posts but your particular problem is very strange and is not normal. I still think it may have something to do with the CF Card, though I’m not 100% sure. If you can scrounge up another card it would be worth trying it.

That’s correct. Once you change to OMNI ON, the V256 should stay in that mode even after power cycling.

Although you can obtain similar types effects with the Infinite FSW on the Cathedral and the Freeze they work completely differently.

When you press the INFINITE FSW on the Cathedral it’s as if you instantly changed the Reverb’s decay time to infinity, which is like taking the REVERB knob and cranking it. But you can play over the infinite reverb wash, while holding its FSW, and not add to the reverb. When you release the INFINITE FSW you return the reverb’s decay time to what the REVERB knob is set to.

The Freeze does not use reverb, instead it samples the sound passing thru it at the moment you press down on the FSW and creates a very short, clean loop which sounds like you are sustaining your note or chord.

There are four decay rates available on the Freeze, from instantaneous in FAST mode, to three slow decay rates in SLOW mode. You select the SLOW decay rate during power up, by holding down the Footswitch while applying power to the pedal, the toggle switch then selects between medium, medium-slow and slow decay rates. When you release the footswitch the slow setting is saved and is remembered during power cycles.

Flick: unfortunately not, but i’d like to stick to tube amps

I couldn’t not ask and I forgot my smiley in that post

I recently bought a used (but in mint condition) AC15HTVH head and the V112HTV cabinet and it sounds amazing, I love it. I bought it from some guy on Craigslist that turned out to be the lead guitarist in Rammstein. He said it didn’t fit his style.

Before I bought the Heritage head and cabinet I went to a Guitar Center and first played the AC15C1 and I loved it and thought this is the amp for me. Then I played the AC15H1TV immediately after the AC15C1 and thought it sounded better! After a little going back and forth I thought the Heritage was worth the money. The H1TV has more of a vintage tone, it sounds like a classic amp to me, the C1 is a bit more modern sounding though more versatile.

Personally for me, I get all the different sounds such as distortion, reverb and tremolo from pedals, I don’t need those from the C1 so I went with the amp that sounded better just on its own.

I gigged with my Heritage head and cabinet for the first time this past weekend and it sounded so good!! A couple other guitarists used it for their sets and I thought they sounded great also. I moved up from a vintage 60’s silverface Princeton (was just not quite loud enough) and I am totally in love with the Heritage setup.

As long as the power supply’s current rating is 200mA or higher it will be fine. So the 250 mA outputs from the Pedal Power 2 should work.
