Yeah Mr. Grim, you’re right there!

Better they take their time to built the XO stereo polyflangemistressthingy and the XO stereo tap-pulsar!!!

fantastic idea! although i don’t know if it technically possible with audio or vhs cassettes. it would be great if it was!

important for me: size and price! and of course the possibility to tweak on the fly and sefloscillation madness!

Hey Loopman,

i don’t own a Cathedral, but i imagine it’s TRUE stereo, therefor the signal should stay seperate/stereo.
although – remember: if you use the effect AND the BLEND output, the stereo signal depends on your setting on the blend knob. a wet setting there will reduce the stereo effect! a more dryer setting will give you a better stereo image.

REMEMBER: the FH is not true stereo. you are only able to get a pseudo-stereo effect by sending a wet signal to one and the dry / or blended signal with a decent amount of dry signal to another speaker/amp.

try this – if you can – via headphones: effect output left, blended output right. then play something and move the blend knob from dry to wet slowly. you may hear the change in stereo field.
be aware, that this can sound pretty strange on headphones if the wet sound is at an extreme setting. this is mostly because the effected signal is much quieter than the dry signal. if you have a chance to balance that difference in volume, your stereo effect will sound really good.

This way, i am able to get a really realistic stereo thru-zero tape flange. on one channel the flanged effect will go over the top and nullify the signal, while on the other channel it’s still present. so the overall effect is a kind of a panned thru-zero tape flange! try this – amazing!

hope, this wasn’t to complicated!

to put it in a nutshell: just fool around!

amazing! i’m getting it today! what a great band!

Hi,

this issue is known as far as i know and its normal to analog delays – although most analog delay units don’t let the user choose delaytimes slower than the max. in the description, EHX done otherwise – which i think is very great! read the manual, it’s mentioned there, that the delay time knob maxes out at about 650ms and this way the delays will sound good. BUT – you are able to tap times up to (i think) 1500ms – the unit will still be able to produce a delayed signal, but the longer the delay time, the more distorted the delay signal. if you don’t want a distorted signal AND can live with delays max. 650ms (which is rather good for analog anyway), use the delay time dial for max delays. it’s easier than guessing and tapping.

for me, i like the option of longer distorted lo-fi delays, although i must confess that it’s barely useable for most situations!

hope, this helped.

hi,

i own the deluxe version of the memory boy and one tip i can give is – be very careful with dialling in modulation depth. it goes easily into very strange sounding modulations. start with turning the depth knob all the way to the left (counterclockwise) to turn the modulation off. then try to play with delay only – turn up the feedback and blend to hear your delayed signal louder.

here are the instructions on the website:

this said – i am very glad to have bought the deluxe version, because the delayed signal is ducked/gated first – depending on the gain of the input signal – louder input – more ducking. too much ducking imho, but i guess it’s to keep the delay signal cleaner – the chips would overload too easily if a highgain signal would “overdrive” the chipset. that’s my guess only.

anyway – in the deluxe version i can put a booster/eq in the effects loop and this way enhance the delayed signal – golden!

hope, this helped.

greetings to malaysia
