I just ordered one of these:

I’m hoping that it is compatible as the website says that it is ‘[em]Ideal in the studio and on stage, the Time Bandit takes the sound of a click track or metronome and converts it to the type of signal that most delay pedals with an external tap tempo jack can read.[/em]’

I just spent another few hours trying to find answers online and have been on the verge of buying a couple of devices but thought I’d wait until I had a reply to this post and in the meantime, I had a crazy idea which I am anticipating some stick for even thinking.

Why not connect the headphone out from an old iPhone to the Tap/Click in jack and run a metronome app and see what happens.

Well, the app I have has several different sounds and I worked my way through them and the results were not promising but suddenly, as I reached one (which I couldn’t hear because the audio was going to the Super Pulsar), the LED started to pulse at half the metronome rate. When I listened later, it was the one which closest resembled a click but sounded a little tinny.

I’m quite astonished that it works. I can’t synchronise the tempo with the drums track but as long as it is in time, I can sort that out later in Logic.

Having played around with this for a while, the Super Pulsar takes about ten seconds to pick up the tempo so I am going to see if I can find a metronome app with a clearer click.

Hello,

Thanks for the advice.

I’m not saying that it has cured the problem but the electricity in my local area has been off all day today so I have only just been able to power up my gear and I was unable to hear the problem. I’m a bit tired right now so I’ll try again later but if it re-occurs, I’ll definitely try using the Grand Canyon power supply but as with any configuration, there is a shortage of power outlets.

Also, I’m planning to completely re-assemble the pedalboard again in the next few days to fix the base at a different angle, so no doubt there will be a new ‘feature’ or two for me to address.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I’m using the stereo TRS cable which works with Grand Canyon.

It’s not a big deal if it won’t work with the GT-100, I just kind of thought that there might be a standard for expression pedals and I was just trying it out – I thought I might be able to use it as a wah pedal. I just realised from an image search that the EXP-1 is mono TS so it is probably not compatible.

I also have a Ravish Sitar but I haven’t given much thought to using it with that yet.
