Deluxe Big Muff XO?

2010-03-09T20:41:36-05:00

I’d hop, skip and jump on over to my local music shop if they re-issued this beast!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s a Big Muff Pi with a Soul Preacher attached for some brutal compressed fuzz. I’d love to see it in the new casing like the current Memory Man and Q Tron sized pedals.

IT IS TIME TO DOWNSIZE THE DELUXE ELECTRIC MISTRESS!!!!!!!!!

Seriously guys, why haven’t you done this yet? I’m so tempted to selling mine because of it’s size but there’s just no other flange with that sound.

Also, a RI of the original greem electric mistress would sell like crazy!

Oh, and a VIBE!

Anyone know the mods for the DEM to fix the volume drop, tb, and led?

YOU GUYS GOTTA START RE-ISSUING VINTAGE EHX

Beyond frustrated (memory boy)

2010-03-12T18:59:07-05:00

I recently purchased a memory boy from Guitar Center and noticed right away it had a few problems. First off, it would not self oscillate with the feedback cranked. Secondly, i would get a longer delay time IF i had a patch cable plugged into the expression pedal input (i read about this on the ehx forums). I’m fairly certain that with the patch cable in i would get the full 550 ms, as without the patch cable the delay seemed way to short. If someone could send me a soundclip of a single note at exactly 550 ms (using a digital pedal) i could be certain.

I then researched these issues and found that many other users were having the same issues. Flick (ehx staff) posted:

“We are looking into the cause of the problem, there are a couple of things that might cause it.

The DXMB (Deluxe Memory Boy) will definitely not have this problem.“

Well that’s great that the DXMB will be flawless but what about all the poor people who purchased a memory boy?

At this point, i thought well there surely must be a recall of some sort. So i emailed Ehx, thinking they would send me a prepaid box to ship it over in. I got a response saying that they would wave return shipping.

At this point i was getting more and more upset, and i wrote a letter to send in with my pedal. I stated i was disappointed with the quality of this pedal, and that if there was a known issue with the pedal that there should have been a recall. I also stated that i did not think i should be responsible for paying shipping for a pedal i just bought new. I ended by saying i would love to hear from someone on this issue. I sent a copy with my pedal and a separate envelope with a copy of the message addressed to management.

Ten days later, i receive my pedal back with no note. No mention of a reimbursement for shipping in. Great! I plug it in. The self oscillation works. Yay!
The delay- UGH! I still only get maximum with a patch cable plugged in. SO what would you do at this point?

EHX staff: Why should i have to pay shipping for a defective pedal?
Why do i have to insert a patch cable into the expression pedal jack to get full delay?
Why would you start working on the deluxe version before addressing the issues with the first one?
What do i do now? Do i send my pedal in again and wait ten more days only to be left disheartened again? I’m so lost at this point!

As i said in my letter’s that i sent last tuesday, I love my other Ehx Pedals and always will, but am just so frustrated over this issue! Please, someone get back to me this time!

midi sync / new loop

2010-03-13T06:00:30-05:00

when using the 2880 with external sync in a live situation, how do you clear the previous song’s loops to start a new song without recording loops right from the start of the external clock?

in other words, lets say i finish a song with the 2880.. then i want to start a new song from my external sequencer. i want the old loop to clear, but i dont want to start making new loops until several bars into the new song.
make sense?

right now it appears to me that if you press “new loop” you will start recording silence as soon as you hit “play” on your external sequencer. if you dont press “new loop” then the last song’s loops will start playing back again.

does anyone have a workaround for this, or am i missing something?

Memory Toy not working ... any quick fix ??

2010-01-09T17:20:33-05:00

Just got it through the post… and its broked at the mo.

Half the circuit board became detached upon opening, but easily connected back into place

At the moment the blend knob acts as a volume but in reverse. Nothin else really happens elsewhere

Any quick fix ? I see a few mention probs & solution so wondered if I was missing something here… ???

trim pots reveal nothing.

cheers

Memory Boy Problems

2010-03-09T21:26:15-05:00

I bought a Memory boy at the beginning of this year for my bass.

Problem: After approximately 5 uses the Chorus function stopped working. The Delay function kept working but if i was in the chorus mode with the Depth knob turned up to any position I’d get no chorus, the dry signal comes through but no chorus. If the blend was all the way clockwise (wet) there would just be no sound at all.

I sent it back to the dealer and they replaced it for me saying it is not a common problem with EHX pedals but now my new one has just done the same thing.

I’m running it off a 9v battery only and have tried it in my pedal board and isolated. I have run it with multiple basses (passive/active) and wonder if an active preamp may be too high input signal for the pedal to handle(?).

Any help/info would be appreciated

Noisy Deluxe Memory Boy?

2010-03-13T00:02:11-05:00

Just got my DXMB yesterday. When 100% wet, the delayed signal sounds “noisy.“ Anyone else notice this? Is it just an analog delay artifact?
