August 17, 2009 at 8:22 am in reply to: New Electro Harmonix Memory Boy Analog Delay Pedal Video #100646ghostMember
Here’s another video, just came across — > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_jGLba0lQo
It does have a sample of the expression in and delay at full though (the grainy sound I was talking about) and the reviewer seems to confirm my belief that with the expression in/at full it’s actually 1000ms….
ghostMemberMy guess is… It’s not the looper for you guys… Playing with a live drummer and Loops can be TOUGH. It takes a lot of practice. That said, there are plenty of bands that pull it off. Don Caballero used pretty much Akai Headrush pedals exclusively – Nice Nice uses simple loopers with no drum sync, — it can be done with the boss loopers as well as the 2880. It just takes practice, and maybe a click track in ear for the drummer. They also make vibrating pulse metronomes for drummers that work well, in case the loops get lost in the mix…
Any situation where man vs machine’s timing is involved there’s going to be a sway on the human part. It’s like trying to DJ disco records VS techno records. Disco, you can’t keep beat matched as it’s a live band/drummer most of the time. Techno is a drum machine, and will stay beat matched and mix just fine…
ghostMemberLenovo is SPAM (highlight message) – don’t ask how I keep catching these… it’s just a weird habit I have to highlight text as I read….
ghostMemberSo far my favorite setting is when you plug the expression in and extend the delay time to the fullest… You get this really grainy PDS style lo-fi delay sound. I love it…
ghostMemberI’d say try the tubes. Should self oscillate without to much work, as they are usually hard to keep from self oscillating : )
ghostMemberThe click track is audible thru the main outs…. Not much you can do about it. I’ve been thinking about modding mine to just go out the headphone out, but we will see…..
ghostMemberOh and to answer your question… It will work. Just get 1 in a/ b out channel switcher…
ghostMemberI’m using a channel switcher a/b between my hog and my 2880. Works perfectly!
What I’m wondering is… Is the a way to sync 2 2880s and one be half time of the other?
Or would midi sync make all 8 loops the same length.What are you doing with your 2 2880s?
ghostMemberMight do that when I get the laptop back from apple. For now I’m itouch only …

ghostMemberIt also seems to have better “ducking” than my dmm. Meaning it responds to
the dynamics of playing better, and allows new chords to “reset the out of control feedback. .ghostMemberConverse or Vans please. Actually never mind, they’d be ugly anyway….
Anyone catch those Twin Peaks Nikes?
August 10, 2009 at 10:30 am in reply to: Stereo Memory Man loops fade as more loops are applied… #100466ghostMemberMan, I’m seriously debating buying a 3rd SMMw/H. I have these other loopers in my setup, but the Haz just really fits the way I work.

(i see your joke coming btw…)
ghostMemberYou need to make the output of the effect attach to the dry output on the switch, very simple mod. Add a switch in there, and you have an on/off trails option… As the MBoy is analog, it should be an easy thing to do, although if the casing is as packed as all of the recent EHX builds – it might be difficult only because getting the guts out of the box to work on it will be tuff.
