Sounds really cool, but damn, mono-in only.. :( Indeed, no MIDI. But I'm thinking it might be possible to add a feature connector of sorts, hook the pins to some of the most needed switches, and use something like an old Scholz Rockman Octopus (I have one) to control these switch options. Just an idea.. won't be my option due to the mono-only input. /van Scott Hansen wrote: > hey all-last friday i got my pigtronix echolution. i got it used after > getting rid of some stuff that i thought i wanted (a painful month of > trying out stuff) > anyway, i figure i spend a fair amt of time saying what i hate about > stuff, and slagging the loopers that didn't work for me, so it's > positive time: > > OMFingG--I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!! > > i have of course heard about these for a while, knew it had 12 sec of > delay and all, but it was way out of my budget range. > > but after selling stuff and having a bit of $$$-i got one, it's the most > i've ever spent on a pedal. > > and man-IT IS GREAT! > > 12 sec of delay-based loops. > pitchshifting and time stretching (think of what you've seen the pds8000 > could do--it's not exactly like that-but man, it's close for me).(it > also reminds me a bit of > my EH 16 DDL-better interface for me though.....although not as much > time delay option-but i never went very long on the 16 ddl-i don't think > i ever went to 16 sec!) > > it honestly reminds me of my old dod d12 (12 sec delay rack unit)--which > of course reminded me of a budget lexicon pcm 42 (the 19 sec of delay > looping that > david torn uses & abuses so well). > > the knobs are SO STURDY. it has a million switches for adding different > taps to the delays, and reverse, etc etc. > > for the 12 sec of looping that i like to use, it is amazing. > it also has chorus and tremolo options to add-sort of like adding a > modulation to the delays-in those modes-you can certainly get some > spacey delays-ambient heaven. > > and it has a switch for "loop". so you can have a gentle delay loop > degrading and hit that and it will lock that in and you can play over it. > i honestly don't think i've done as much looping as i have in the last 4 > days as i have w/ it. need to record stuff.... > > i tried to go through all the functions of it w/ the manual, man it > could take a lifetime, there are so many switches....but i will say the > thing i love is the > 12 sec of delay loops....and i can record a 2 or 3 sec short loop, turn > the delay time knob to slow it down...and MAN-instant stretched out > looped/texture madness... > honestly -it's better than what my old dod d12 could do.... > > i just love it..i know some people will probably say "12 sec? that's > all?" but for me that's all i need, and w/ the ability to stretch and > pitch shift, it's all i want...love it. > > the other side affect to it: it uses a 15 volt power supply, so w/ my > tele i detect a boost of signal, which honestly I ALSO LOVE. haven't > tried my HB guitar w/ it yet. & w/ the Florescent light in my studio, i > get some hum, but honestly--i don't care.... > > some may ask: does it have MIDI- answer: i honestly don't know, don't > care. i do know that it has an input for a passive volume to manipulate > the delay time-similar to > what DT could do w/ his pcm 42. i haven't used it though, i just do it > by hand w/ the knobs. love the knobs & switches. > i can honestly say that after, what 4 yrs of searching i found the tool > that i love and can use..... > over and out.... > and now back to your software looping discussion...which is another > realm well out of my knowledge base.....(ha)...... > s---- -- rgds, van Sinn
