    Just got the SMMH and love it. Great job EHX! One thing though:

    On multitap, on the 1 sec + Rev function, you are supposed to be able to get “up to” 6 seconds playback. Right now all I can get is about 2.5 seconds. Am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks.

    Welcome to the board. Where does it say you can get up to 6 seconds playback? It says up to 3 seconds everywhere in the manual.

    Wait sorry, you are referring to the multi-tap reverse. My bad. It should play back the last 6 seconds from the moment you step on the switch. How do you have your repeats set and all that?

    Hey thanks!

    Yes, I’m talking about the multi-tap rev function. I had tried setting the knobs to all sorts of settings and never seem to get more than 3 seconds of playback once I step on the switch to start the reverse playback. The manual makes it sound as if you should be able to get six seconds. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hmm, yeah I guess I’ve never counted but now I’m curious. I’ll try some things when I get home.

    OK so I tried this. I can not get more than 3 seconds on the 1sec+reverse regardless of settings for delay time, repeats, and decay. It never bothered me before. I still don’t think it bothers me, but it definitely does not play back 6 seconds.

    i don’t think mine plays back more than a second, but i have the delay time set super super short – maybe that has something to do with it? try increasing the echo length, see if you can get more time in reverse.

    Hey John, thanks for looking into it. I’ve tried tweaking the knobs every way I can think of to no avail.

    Ghost, thanks too for checking it out.
    I thought that was the case, I’m glad it wasn’t just my pedal. I wonder if any of the official EHX folk could chime into let us know what the deal is. The manual definitely boasts 6 seconds. The thing that bums me out about it (it is still a very cool pedal) is that 3 seconds is just short enough to not be very useful. I love in John Scofield’s soloing where he plays a line and runs it in reverse. Or it would be so useful in a longer reverse chord swell. 3 seconds is just barely gets you into it before it cuts out. I wonder what the deal is? This was actually one of the reasons I bought the pedal. I loved the looping function on the DL4 and always wanted to be able to just play and have it playback in reverse immediately. I thought this one would do it. It does I guess but 3 seconds is just short enough to not do it for me.

    Anyway, thanks for the welcome and checking into it. I appreciate it!
