2880 2:
A better LIVE mix-down (option to simply clear out the 4 loops when mixdown is complete, or something that would prevent a second pass over dub/jump in volume.)
Save multiple loop sets
Independent loop lengths
On/Off switch for Feedback control with sliders
Mute channel buttons (accessible thru Midi, but I need buttons)Secondary ideas:
A second set of assignable outs?
Effects sends for loops
Punch in on the foot controller
Master volume knob (not sure this is necessary at all)Third tier ideas:
A simple “one cable/no midi” way to sync multiple units
Ships with bigger card (yeah the price goes up, but when someone is paying this much for a looper – they’re most certainly going to upgrade the card. Why pay twice for something just to have EHX keep the price point lower… when it kind of screws the end user)
Savable presets for delay modes. Where it basically loads in a blank loop of saved size for use as delay. 2 sec, 4 sec, etc…June 11, 2009 at 8:45 am in reply to: Wishlist for the next generation of digital pedals- HOG, 2880, and SMMH2 #97709ghostMemberQuote:Wishlist for the next generation of digital pedals- HOG, 2880, and SMMH2Did you just forget the 2880 part? ; )
ghostMemberQuote:What is it like as auto tune?
I play in a rock band and i can’t sing in tune will this help?also adding reverb to my live vocal would be great!
-RJust a guess…. BUT I would be willing to bet that the “V256 – Vocoder w/Reflex-Tune” (not released yet/could be fake) is what you’re waiting for. As I’m betting on “reflex-tune” being some variant on auto-tune.
We will see…..
ghostMemberDid I mention the sound on this thing is INCREDIBLE!!!
ghostMemberYeah I just did that one last time I sat down. Seemed to work alright, but it’s a good 10-20 second pause in progression of the tune I have to take to slide faders around. I wish it would just dump them over Live to mixdown – makes no sense for it not to.
My first thought was that if you had punch-in down on the mixdown take, it would wipe all four tracks and leave just the mixdown.
Ah the journey of getting boxes to do what you need them to….
ghostMemberOK so got around to browsing the manual thru once today. Then sat down to play for a bit. This thing is complicated! I feel like really utilizing the feedback control when in over dub is going to take some time to get my head around.
One thing I’m really wondering is in Mixdown, I’m almost always going to do this live. Is there a way to mixdown the tracks and then have the four shut off, go blank, or other. My attempts so far have left me with a huge volume jump as the mixdown passes a second time around, as the 1-4 track faders are still up…
ghostMemberFunny I was just about to make a post requesting opinions on this box. I had a loaner of one for a few months – never could get much enjoyment out of it. Aside from feedback/noise sounds which were cool. But seems like this box is just shrouded in mystery in terms of usage.
ghostMemberLooks like they are on the Bay for $325 or so…
ghostMemberAlso VERY curious about this:
Cathedral Deluxe Reverb (!!!)
: ))))
Stereo!?
ghostMemberPog 2 looks amazing!
Any info on the two Qballs?
ghostMemberThe four tracks are Mono. So they treat the two inputs as mono sources. If you push the “Stereo Mode” button on the left there – it will record the left input on track one and the right input onto track two – so just set them up panned hard left/right and it will come out stereo. You essentially are turning the 4 track looper into a two track looper – Although when you mix/bounce them down to the 5/6 slider it will be in stereo and you cane reuse the 1/2 & 3/4 pair.
Sorry if that made no sense…
ghostMemberSorry didn’t finish reading you post till now…. Just saw the “classic ehx” part….
ghostMemberI’m hoping for simple and cheap. So the more interesting and affordable it can be the better….
That said a Exp. in for the filter would be RAD!
Is the Freezer possible?
ghostMemberReally though – I wish pedal companies (mainly one of the handful of bigger ones) would really take notice of non-guitarists using their gear. I feel like 90% of the videos/sound samples given for pedals really only reveal about 1/3 of their potential. Which is a shame. I have really latched onto EHX though in recent years, as they always seem to (possibly by accident) deliver features that can really be taken to extremes. That and their more hands-on/no digital read outs approach to things.
In regards to making pedals more friendly for non-guitarists – simply making as many things stereo in/outas possible would help a TON.
A Stereo Grail is a no brainer, and I’m shocked that within the 4 or 5 (+?) versions of the Grail there is not one that is Stereo In/out!?
_____________________
Back on subject – the idea of a pedal that is geared toward “glitching/freezing” would be SO coveted by both guitarist and non-guitarists.
If this portion of the circuit on function alone – I can’t see why it shouldn’t become a reality.
Another similar function I wish would appear on an EHX delay is ducking. As with ducking and short repeats you can create really wonderful stuttering delays.
The Freezer – Freeze/Hold Switch, Bypass Switch, High/Low Filter, Pitch Knob (possibly two?), Wet/Dry Knob.
I like the idea of having a wet dry for the Dry/Wet signal and a blend knob for Original Frozen pitch and a user sweepable second pitch. Either this or just two pitch knobs would really take this thing over the top.
And again, not to my taste, but throw a decimator on there and you have a serious (and again probably as expensive as the HOG) pedal.
