So they’ve got that “Space Is The Place” video on the blog and pretty much everything in the description points to some sort of synthesizer or drum machine or both machine at NAMM… I’m feeling a Space Drum of the 21st century and possibly some sort of EHX synth. Seriously, read the description:

“In the 1970s Electro-Harmonix was the consummate innovator in the design of wildly creative instruments that have had a profound effect on the evolution of sonic and rhythmic textures. Space is the Place was created with EH percussive and synthesis instruments that display a cutting edge sonic creativity that clearly pointed to the future.”

The implicit “percussive and synthesis instruments” gloating and ‘pointed to the future’ seem to be pointing to a little somethin somethin.

Open it up and mess around with the seatbelt looking thing. Just kinda trial and error finicking helped me fix this problem. I understand how depressing an unreliable digital delay is.

If the repeats are as dark as the mb, at least now we can put a screaming tree in the feedback loop

I really might get both. The Toy is a cleaner delay from what ive heard in the clips. Unlike any other delay EHX has done. The Boy is darker, like the DMM, and has a lot of options, but not quite as clean. So I guess thats the appeal of the Toy vs. Boy, especially if you already have a DMM and dont care about waveforms or expression mode.

I caught them in Orlando around the end of Jr. High. It was the most high energy show I’ve ever been to. I talked with the now-ex- rhythm section. They were really cool guys and had a lot of talent, but they didn’t really fit the vibe well- they were just normal guys who saw their band as what it was, a rad band getting a lot of attention, but Andrew saw it as something more imporant and part of rocknroll folklore and he wanted to fall into that lifestyle. Just too much clashing. When I talked to the guys they told me that Andrew made his way back to a hotel with a groupie. They stayed back with the openers, The Mess Hall, to hang out with fans., where they told me and my friends that they were going to play ‘Communication Breakdown’ for Jimmy Page, which to us made them seem like gods. They hung out with us for 45 minutes until the bus driver told them they had to go. Maybe it was just a lucky night for Andrew, but his bandmates didn’t mention him after talking for 45 minutes. That seemed kind of wierd to me.
