In my experience digital is more expensive than analog when it comes to delay units, but rarely by much. The Boss DD-7 and Line6 Echo Park are more expensive than the MXR Carbon Copy or EHX Memory Boy, but again, not by much.

That said, the digital SMMw/H is £45 cheaper than the analog DMM. Got to say though, I’d go for the SMMw/H over the DMM any day.

I’ve got serious GAS. Unfortunately it also causes serious cash flow issues, which in turn affect my ability to soothe my GAS. It’s a vicious cycle.

Complex digital pedals like this really do call for an EHX employed technician’s attention when they get fried. I should expect the chips in there are expensive and only availible to if not manufactured solely by EHX. I’d send them an email right away.

Also, I wouldn’t cause a digital pedal to self-oscillate by feeding the output back into the input, they generally can’t take it as well as analog gear. Just… you know… a pointer

Good idea that! Outside-the-box. I was thinking of using it for that exact function but my mind stopped at ‘a rocking expression pedal would be really hard to slide and hold at a particular pitch’. /thumbs-up

Laney VC30 112 (because it’s awesome, is all I have to say!)

I love combos, would never have anything but

I have a more relevant development; been getting SUCH good feedback about the new songs that I’ve been writing (and singing on) that I’ve ordered a large diaphragm condenser microphone so I can do it properly, nothing fancy, just a T.Bone SC400 and a pop-shield. At the moment I’m using a Red 5 Audio RVD30 which is a bit like an SM57 or Audix i5, sounds great on guitar, but it’s not suited to vocals at all.

Fingers crossed for that arriving tomorrow

In 0-1 (I haven’t checked the post today yet) business days I’ll receive a pink wheel for the wii… I’m so damn cool.
