Ok pic from tonites gig, which was surprisingly pretty good and well mixed. And loud! :rawk:

and please don’t bash on with “fruscinate’d” crap :p

Micro Synth, POG, DMM, Worm, Tube Zipper, Big Muff Pi, and a Small Clone!  That’s a great selection of EHX :thumb:

So did you get your Micro Synth fixed? I’m assuming you wouldn’t have brought it to the gig if weren’t.

thanks!

not fixed yet. I just didn’t take it off my board. plus it looks good shame though, cause i would have used it. :(

i only came back from holiday 3 days ago and haven’t had that much time to open it up. I’ll have a look this week.

If shipping overseas wasn’t so damn cost-ineffective for us, I’d repair it for you; though it’s probably a good thing that you’re learning how to fix this stuff. The older EHX pedals can take a lot of beating, but they don’t hold together forever. I just bought a Bass Micro Synth on eBay BIN today with 3 broken sliders for a really good price (a little more than $100). I know that Small Bear sells the slider pots, so I’m going to try and tackle that project over the coming weeks.

lol. You sure are addicted.  Does the bass MS work well with guitar too?

yeah bloody shipping costs, and customs :facepalm:

i will try and see what the problem with the MS is this week.

are you keeping that BMS? Or just fixing it and flipping it?

I am addicted, but I’ve just begun collecting in the last couple of years, so I think the collection will dwindle over the coming years as I discover which pedals are essential to my sound (if such a thing even exists). I’ve already sold off a few things that I knew for sure were not my taste. I have a few more in mind.

One of the great things about these older EHX units is that they seem to hold their value really well on eBay.

Not to mention, I just get a lot of joy in restoring the really old beat up ones and learning about how they work. They’re like little puzzles to solve, and I feel so accomplished when I actually figure out how to fix them.

I play bass guitar also on all of my studio tracks, so I’d like to try it out. I’ve heard from a lot of owners that it sounds great on electric guitar as well.

If I don’t like it, I’ll give you a heads-up first, but it might be awhile before I let go of it :thumb:

Awesome!!

Although i wouldn’t gig with older ones that much. XO seem much more reliable now.

Your sound = (if such a thing even exists) Is 100% The EHX sound and that is why you need a job there

If the economy gets any worse, I’m going to need a new job :cry:  My school district is expecting close to $200,000,000 in budget cuts in the 2009-2010 school year; and the trend has always been to cut from media, technology, and the arts first.  :doh:

:thumb:  Cool, EHX educators unite! High School or College?

Actually, I currently work as a district level resource teacher, which means I manage the library management software for 182 schools, and I train all of the media specialists and textbook managers how to use it. I also train new teachers how to integrate technology into their classrooms. I used to work as a classroom teacher for all age groups, from 9 years old to 18 years old. I might end up back in the classroom, which is cool by me. I enjoy working directly with young people, and the pay is the same either way.

So i guess you can go on HCFX and EHX forums while on the computer?
