    hi there this is great!, do you think this mod would work with a memory boy? of course this uses a different switch so would have to find out what it is.

    hi there, wondered if i could drop my question in here. so in terms of the stereo output of the haz, does it output the same information in the “looper” mode to both outputs then (stupid question i know), or do i have to put a dummy plug in the second input? and if i wanted to output the same delay on both outputs , this dummy plug thing would work or would it need actual audio on the second input? thanks !

    Yes, this is extremely frustrating . I use the feedback to erase a loop because the bypass switch is so loud , but this not ideal! Even if there was a way to use an external looper (fx loop I meant) pedal with a softer switchto turn the loop on and off that would be great. Any details on that soldering business?

    having had the 2880 and being an owner of the hazarai and 16 second, i would say “you always need more than one looper” – because no single looper does everything (very unfortunate! ) – without being sarcastic i think “how hard can it be” – line 6 switches (quiet and fast, taking unreliability issues aside) for play , record, one shot, reverse, and octave up/down. then loop storage, that great 16 sec pitch/tempo loop stretch thing etc. etc. – i have three loopers , waiting for the looperlative lp-2 mini which is about 6 weeks away i think…

    hey youve got a great pedal there, be patient with it and it will reward! firstly i use the 2880’s foot controller with my 16 second, but should be the same principle. you have to engage the octave button on the foot controller first before you record, then disengage once you’re done. that will drop what youve played down by an octave. the reverse is true of course.
    in terms of the 4-beat count-in if you’ve got a newer version of the reissue (coloured sliders not white) it should have the software inside to free yourself from the 4/4 grid. otherwise you can send it to ehx as i have to get it changed for $35.
    for reverse sounds, i just solo first then reverse and see what happens. you can get another pedal for dedicated control over your reverse phrases, i wont advertise non-ehx pedals here as i love my ehx! the hazarai is great for reversing although its a little bit idiosyncratic in that regard. but there are a few others around, just make sure you can take out the dry signal so that the reverse only sound comes through.

    firstly thanks for your reply..do you mean record the first layer at 50 percent volume then turn up to full for overdubs? thats what i did before tho :( it just raises the level of the loop up to 100 percent. i must be an idiot because no one else talks about this. if this carries on i might have to sell …help ehx.

    thanks for that. haven’t opened it up yet but is there only one trimpot? any ideas on how i adjust it (clockwise for less whine :)? – cheers.
    also, can anyone tell me what the trimpots (2 of them?) do on the memory boy?
    thanks to ehx for great products

    hey thanks. is that center point negative or positive? 24 v ?? seems a lot!

    I found delay time seems to be dependent on power voltage.

    Lower the voltage, longer the delay time and make stretched-tape-echo-like lo-fi sound. It will go far beyond 550ms and, at max, delay sound can stop. Higer the voltage, clearer the sound and shorter the delay time.

    According to my measurement, at least 9.5v is needed for “proper” work.
    So if you use standard power supply which has around 9v, it won’t work correctly.
    I can get 9.78v with included power supply even from 100v outlet in Japan but it’s inconvenient not to be able to use standard 9v power supply.
    It’s EH’s fault, I think. At least, “work with 9v power supply” isn’t true.

    I made regulator circuit with LM317 IC by my self and got 9.7v from 18v output of my Gator power supply with no problem, but EH should improve this kind of instability.

    Hi, just read this and intrigued..im in australia bought mine online so had to get a power supply for it here, mine is 9v but works, should i be using something higher? what is the required voltage for the memory boy. chucked my us power supply out cause its not good here. thanks for a reply in advance!

    hey thanks for that guys. i do love analog delays, have had a dm-2 and a currently have an original re-201 space echo, and my friend in the duo i play in has a moog delay. don’t get me wrong i love the idiosyncracies of the analog world! just seemed like a lot more hiss than usual, but for that square wave setting ill deal with it. just wanted to make sure there wasn’t something wrong with it.
    can anyone tell me anything more about the possibilities of control voltage input on the MB’s expression pedal input. not a lot of info out there? is it possible to fry it depending on what you send in there? would like to take a cv output from a 70s EMS AKS synth and see what happens!

    hey. well julian now im confused! i have a 2880 (centerpoint positive) but looking at the adaptor for my 16 second its definitely centerpoint negative. oh well…it hasn’t blown up yet!

    hi there. im in australia so we’re 240 v but my adaptor is 100-240 v , input : 50/60Hz 0.4A – output is : 9v but 1.67 A so maybe 500 ma is not enough?? centerpoint in NEGATIVE.
    if youve got lights but hum may be a problem with the unit. switching the ring tip is not such a good idea :) did you have any luck later on?

    the footswitch for the 2880 works too. i have both and use a boss ab-2 switch to control both off one footswitch controller.
