    Okay, I’ll give it a try, thanks.

    In the dub mode it records over the start point so I staggering phrase and it records over the original start.

    So, if I’m understanding you correctly, if I had a 5 second initial loop, but did a 10 second overdub, the overdub would be seamless because it’s recording over the start point of the original loop?

    Bill, I saw that excellent video, a few days ago, but I had a hard time understanding the “one second’ thing, as it wasn’t showing what your feet were doing. Still not sure I get what you mean… do you mean record a two second silent loop, then go into dub mode and swell in another two seconds? That doesn’t seem to be enough time. Or would I just leave it in dub mode until I got the swell I wanted?

    I guess what I’m still not understanding, is whether or not it records overdubs through(for lack of a better word) the starting point. Like, let’s say I recorded a three second silent loop, but I left the dub on for three cycles… would it record three new loops, or an overdub that is nine, not three, seconds long?

    I’m hoping it’s the latter, because often, I’m recording a pretty elaborate swell that is going through a filter or something else, that evolves over time, and would like to be able to record more than two seconds of it at a time and still have it be seamless.

    Thanks, again.
    Thanks.

    I tried that, but I don’t think it worked in terms of getting the seamless drone, because I still hear the abrupt click where the original loop stops. Is it possible to overdub over the start point, or does the overdub only start and stop recording at the original loop points? Thanks

    Thanks for the update. The only thing I’d say is that perhaps, in the future design of pedals, please take into consideration, in this GOLDEN ERA of pedals that we’re living in, that large pedalboards with power supplies are becoming very common, so people would rather not have to deal with wall warts and power strips.

    Thanks.

    I know it’s been a while…any progress on this, EHX?

    I started a thread over this at the Gear Page, and several people ssid they’d had this problem with some of the other “9” pedals, too. One person also did speculate about the slow ramp-up possiblilty. One would think that eventually, once the power supply ramped up, it’d work, right? I hope EHX fixes this, as a lot of people have power supplies for the exact reason that they don’t want to plug in a bunch of wall warts.

    FYI, I sent mine back to Sweetwater, they sent me another one, same problem. I guess I’ll just have to deal with it.

    No, I haven’t, but these are both well-known for being isolated power supplies, I haven’t had this problem with other pedals.

    They are both definitely isolated power supplies. It says as much on the manufacturers websites, repeatedly. So what else could it be? The idea that it doesn’t work when initially plugged in, but then works fine after disconnected and reconnected is really strange. What else can it be?

    Is anyone else having this problem?
