>> Frisell was using >>an Andersen ACUSTIC (!!!) guitar (no more electric Klein) and an effect >>pedal called Echoplus, by Digitech, I think. >> >>Great looping work!!! With the pedal he could record looping seguences >and >>change the speed and pitch of the loop in real time. The effect was >awesome. >>Someone knows about the Echoplus? What are the other features of this >pedal? >>Someone using it? And about the price? Ive got one of those echoplus pedals. Here's the scoop: ECHO+PLUS 8 SEC DIGITAL DELAY/SAMPLER PDS 8000 Digitech The device was part of the PDS pedal series made by Digitech in the late 80's early 90's. As you can guess, it is not made anymore :-(. Audio: Mono input, mono out no info about internal signal processing. Power: 10 volt DC negative ground power supply (I use a 9v dc and it works fine) or 9volt battery Functions in 3 modes: Normal- looping or short echoes Trigger- initiates a previously recorded sample (sample will loop according to regen. and delay time settings) Sample- Records the desired sample (record only-no play back in this mode) Capabilities: 100ms(???) - 8sec delay or record a sample in sample mode and then trigger the sample in trigger mode. Repeat loop indefinately Operations and controls: >From left to right across the top panel of the pedal- 3 way delay time range switch toggles between the following delay ranges: 100ms-500ms, 500ms-2sec, 2sec-8sec Delay time knob has a relative value of 1(least)-10(most) depending on the setting of the delay time range switch. Rengeration knob has a range of 1(least)-10(most) repeats of echo or loop. Mix knob allows for wet/dry mix of signal and effect ranges 0% effect/100% signal - 100% effect/0% signal LEDs for Effect on and Repeat on 3 way toggle switch for changing mode Normal Trigger Sample Output level knob Input level knob mono input for signal mono input for recording sample (trigger input) mono output Bypass pedal(effect on/off) Repeat(hold)/Trigger(initiates recorded sample) pedal Price new:???? Used: I got one for $100 Sound quality: Fine but not high quality Size: around 5" high, 6" wide and 11/2" deep Color: blue :-) I like the user interface. It is very easy to use. All of the features are right there. No hunting through menus on a rack device display. I think it is a great low end looping device. If you are looking for cheap looping this would be a great buy. Easily portable too. Sincerley, Hayden Porter hporter@UAkron.edu
