good point!

at least they don’t call delay time knobs “rate” like some manufacturers!

yes, this

threads merged! (I wasn’t sure which one to reply to!)

I’m really curious about this. I’ve wanted to get a second frequency analyzer (one for my synth board, one for my guitar board) for a long time, but now that this is out I’m kind of interested in this. I’m guessing it is fully digital, so I’m kind of wondering about the sound quality. If it is analog with digital control, it’s only 9v, which raises questions about sound quality- specifically clean head room, as 9v analog ring mods can be kind of dirty.

I’m taking it the sideband thing allows you to only ring modulate part of the signal, which could be interesting.

An EL34 would require a couple of transformers and would take it way beyond what a double XO could do.

A 50 caliber would be cool in the double XO though. . . say: gain, volume, low, mid, high, and give it active and passive inputs for good measure, along with two speaker outputs.

Yeah, it’s a trimpot problem. I believe Analogman, Ron Neely, and Howard Davis all do trimpot adjustments to get it to 550ms. But they’re all in the US. There is probably someone in Europe who can do it. Maybe Puretube?

9s feel like wet noodles to me

after I saw this post I tried it with my bass and by HOG, and it sounds cool, but not quite like a rhythm guitar. Sounds more like keyboard power chords. I think that’s because single bass notes have a different attack than strummed guitar notes AND because bass strings have less harmonics than guitar strings, and since the HOG can only add organ harmonics or subtract your original harmonics and can’t add a string’s harmonic series it can’t quite turn a bass into a guitar. (Put a capo on the 12th fret of a bass and try to play it like a 4 string guitar and you’ll see what I mean.) Though maybe an EQ and a compressor before the HOG would help out on that. Short slap back delay could possibly help on the strumming thing.
