new electro harmonix stuff

It is nothing like fsb, it's not a stompbox knowledge forum (FSB is amazing by the way, especially if you CONTRIBUTE rather than just leeching information from them). It's a HCFX spinff.

I'll contribute the moment I know something that they don't.

I'm hardly shy about sharing layouts and tips anyway. Remember that long tutorial about etching pcbs? That's sharing baby!

If you design a layout that's generally really useful to people, PCB or veroboard.

Since that Torchy guy left I'm pretty much the only guy making veroboard layouts for new pedals.

The PCB tutorial was useful in that it demonstrated to me that I can't be rigged with that caper. Too much fucking about.

I got whole day of pcb etching tomorrow. Couple dozen millenium bypass boards, new shin-ei FY-2 layout, 20 percolators, some other junk. Then there's all the drilling...

I'll go post my big muff and dist+ layouts sometime. They're smaller than any others I've seen, but aren't pretty like the double-sided ones laid-out with Eagle, and snobs might be pissed the resistors aren't all laid-out flat.

Now with demooooz:

Not sure if this bloke has ever played a guitar, or seen these pedals ever before this video. He appears to be making a piss poor job of just reading the labels on the controls.

Wait for a real demo. I.e. When I make one.

the delay pedals sounded a bit dark? not that you can really tell from that video
as a first impression i think they are quite good though.

Post by **Mike** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 8:15 pm

When I get mine I'll be sure to do an indepth demo of the pedal itself and also next to my Deluxe Memory Man as an A/B.

I am expecting there to be some difference but not a great deal, nothing an audience could notice.

I personally can't wait to run the memory toy against my carbon copy, it's a great price aswell.

i'm sending my memory toy via mike so he can compare all three together.

With the cathedral when he says it's list $286 map $214.50 what does that mean?
Is map the price it will actually be sold at?

I agree that the guy made a pretty shit video though. i would have liked to see what the infinite switch does

MAP is the "minimum advertised price" - the lowest catalogs and online places can list it for. Stores are allowed to go cheaper.

For example the MAP of a Ric 325v63 is $2400, but the store will plan to sell it for $2100 or so.

ah thanks for that.
atm the australian dollar is going pretty well and i have someone interested in buying my holier grail so im going to get the cathedral to replace it.
do ebay sellers have to stick to the MAP price? im pretty sure ive seen individual sellers (not business's on ebay) selling below that price

Decent demo of the Memory Boy is up:

sounds very nice. my first impression is that is cleaner than his daddy but a bit less lush too. definitely here to stay though. should become classic

Post by **Mike** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 9:11 pm

It's a real shame we get nothing but "strummed open strings" from the guitar player, but it definitely seems the soul of the DMM is in that box. I am keen on messing with mine when it turns up.

It does seem cool as fuck, doesn't it. Expression pedal is the clincher for me.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 9:13 pm

Ironically my thought was "what the hell am I going to use that for?"

benecol · Post by **benecol** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 9:20 pm

You could use an expression pedal as an adjustable massage table, surely.
