Re: EH:16DDL RI....
Title: Re: EH:16DDL RI....
I would like to mention that the EH 2880 is spectacular, knobs
knobs, knobs..!!
I did a performance at The Stone in the Lower East Side, and my
2880 was as much a part of the performance as my guitar!!!
-CZ
well, my big news...last week (on thur) i
got my own electro harmonix 16 sec digital delay reissue....the bummer
thing i was so busy i didn't get a chance to open it, set it up and
play w/ it until sunday (it was killing me i was so busy).
but boy, is this thing AWESOME!
i think it's the looper i've been looking for, and why: LEVERS TO
CONTROL THING & manipulate!!!!
wow, love the slow down/speed up option (i probably over use this!!!)
-i guess this is the "pitch" option (there is the time
option also-kind of fun!)
the switch to reverse,
i just love that there are visible switches to see/use to manipulate
your loops.
i'm still getting use to it, the odd thing is that IT SAVES YOUR LOOP
UNTIL YOU DELETE IT. which i honestly don't care about, but hey...
the funny thing in the last 2 days i've been playing it before work,
and both mornings i almost forgot to quit playing and go to work (and
drop my boys off to school).
on sunday when i was trying to figure it out (lots of manual reading!)
i'd get a loop going and just let it go, while i read, haven't done
that since the days of my dod d12!
sound wise-it is awesome. i know they say it's 16 bit (which i still
don't know what the F*CK that really means, but what ever...), but it
sounds clean and crisp to my ear. i'm even down to using just one
modeler (my digitech rp150, took the zoom g2 out), and i also got a
boss ultra fuzz pedal (i may be putting my multi-wave distortion pedal
back in at some pt-still need to figure out space problems).
i don't know i just like it, a very musical little device. inspiring
really. i don't think i've been so excited about looping since i 1st
starting messing w/ my old 2 sec delays on my digitech rp100....for me
i don't really care about stereo setup, i only use one amp, don't care
about midi, if you were worried about "timing" i would guess
you'd need the EH foot pedal perhaps, but since i create more abstract
noise, it's not really a concern for me....
honestly i would like to say to EH and all the other co's: MAKE MORE
PEDALS LIKE THIS!!! CONTROLS, MANIPULATION, yes yes yes....
the funny thing, this all got started when Chuck Zwicky sent me an
email that he was selling his. i was busy at work, was (real) late
opening the email, by the time i responded his was sold....but when he
told me the price was 250$, i didn't think that's what they were
selling for. i figured they were 400-500, so i never thought about it.
so then i start checking ebay, over the next few weeks i saw some sell
for 299, 275, 250, 235, one even sold for 180. and the unusual thing
is i actually had the $$ since the last 4 months i've been
"testing lots of stuff" by buying/selling....but i'm done
now....the funny thing the one i got, i was outbid on, so i just moved
on, then a week later i got an email that the buyer was from overseas,
the shipping was going to be too much, so he passed, and i got the
offer to buy it 2nd chance. wow, was i happy.
i even found a way around my recording woes-i've ditched the direct
recording method i've done for 9 yrs, and i just put my fostex mr8
next to my amp and use the BUILT IN mic to record, so i've been doing
little live loop recordings....1st time i've ever recorded an amp. my
hopes is to sometime get these uploaded...i started w/ tests using
just my rp150 for glitch looping, then did a few tests w/ 2.6 sec
loops/mangles w/ my guyatone md3....and in the last few days i've been
exploring the 16ddl....
well, i'll end my excitement....
happy looping.
