Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Hi there,
my 16 second delay is not functioning correctly today. i have not used it for acouple of weeks.
It works in bypass mode- but when out of bypass there is no signal coming through just a “hum”
Lights light up as they should. It is nothing straight forward like audio outputs are turned down.
Any thoughts?
If I need service i live 2 hours from toronto, is there anyone here in canada that services your stuff?It sounds like the input op-amp got fried and needs to be replaced. This is a common repair for the 16 Second reissue. This op-amp is called U2 on the board.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:I have a Nova Delay ND-1 which has a very sensitive tap tempo footswitch. I’ve noticed that the Deluxe Memory Boy’s is not as sensitive. For instance if I step on it twice really quickly, the delay time switches appropriately. But if I step on it two more times immediately afterwards, the delay time doesn’t always change as its supposed to. It’s almost like I have to wait a few seconds before inputting a new delay time via the footswitch. Anyone else notice this?The Deluxe Memory Boy averages the tap entries. It will stop averaging the tap entries after about 2 seconds since the last tap. It also throws out any tap times that are exceedingly long or short compared to the tap average. So if you tap twice at say 400 mS and then wait about a second and tap two more times at say 410 mS, it will average the four taps around 400mS, and throw away the 1 second tap time.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Update:I got a new flash card, formated it to 2880 spec. The 2880 does not read the card. After trying the new flash card, the original card that shipped with the 2880 will no longer read in the 2880 or in a PC CF card reader. So the unit is officially a paper weight.
I have found in another buried thread, a random post saying that EHX recommends “The San Disk Ultra II series” CF card. So I have ordered one of these, and will update this thread with my results.
It’s a serious downer that a great machine like the 2880 is laden with memory card issues. I am very disappointed, but will continue to try and solve this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What size is the new CF card that you bought? Did you format it for FAT16?
It does sound like your 2880 is defective, and the problem is more than just the CF card but the unit itself. If you cannot return/exchange it from where you bought it, you can send it in for a warranty repair. Contact Chip at poster@sovtek.com.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Hmm I see thanks! I will grab another CF card and try to test it out.Just out of curiosity, what is the ‘normal’ behavior for play/record when the 2880 is in EXT clock mode with quantize on: Does it require a midi start signal to play/record or should I be able to use the buttons on the unit, or both?
With EXT. CLOCK on, the 2880 will be looking for both a MIDI Clock signal and a start/stop command. If it receives the MIDI clock and a MIDI start command it will begin playback. If it is receiving MIDI clock and you press the play button it will also begin playback. But if there is no MIDI clock signal going into the 2880 and you press Play, nothing will happen.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorHey Poly,
I was sort of replying to all of the posts but your particular problem is very strange and is not normal. I still think it may have something to do with the CF Card, though I’m not 100% sure. If you can scrounge up another card it would be worth trying it.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorIt sounds like the CF Card is failing. We have been seeing this a lot lately. We might have bought a bad supply of CF Cards.
You can go up to 2GB on the CF card.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Oops, I think I found the solution. If I set the OMNI to ‘ON’, the V256 will receive the informations through all channels. But to do this, I have to make the first connection through the channel 16. Is it correct?That’s correct. Once you change to OMNI ON, the V256 should stay in that mode even after power cycling.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Hey all,I’ve got a Soldano tube preamp which I love. Can I plug this into a 22-Caliber amp at a low volume as a preamp, rather than a RAT, etc., to get the tone I want? How much input can a 22-Caliber handle? I’d buy one in a second, but don’t want to blow it up with too much input!
Thanks in advance,
Ernstinen
The Soldano tube preamp should work totally fine with the 22 Caliber. Does the output volume of the Soldano match the volume of a normal guitar? If so, the 22 Caliber will have no problem with it.

(besides the decay options of the new freeze) ?is it generating the drone the same way?
Although you can obtain similar types effects with the Infinite FSW on the Cathedral and the Freeze they work completely differently.
When you press the INFINITE FSW on the Cathedral it’s as if you instantly changed the Reverb’s decay time to infinity, which is like taking the REVERB knob and cranking it. But you can play over the infinite reverb wash, while holding its FSW, and not add to the reverb. When you release the INFINITE FSW you return the reverb’s decay time to what the REVERB knob is set to.
The Freeze does not use reverb, instead it samples the sound passing thru it at the moment you press down on the FSW and creates a very short, clean loop which sounds like you are sustaining your note or chord.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorWe have tested the DXMB with a 1Spot and Powerall, daisy chained to other pedals, and the DXMB worked fine.

I am wondering if you could have it freeze a chord or note and decay naturally while you play over it. Because that would be awesome.There are four decay rates available on the Freeze, from instantaneous in FAST mode, to three slow decay rates in SLOW mode. You select the SLOW decay rate during power up, by holding down the Footswitch while applying power to the pedal, the toggle switch then selects between medium, medium-slow and slow decay rates. When you release the footswitch the slow setting is saved and is remembered during power cycles.

If you play a bar chord on the guitar, then press down on the footswitch, that bar chord will sustain for as long as you hold down the footswitch on the FREEZE, or if you are in latching mode, the chord will sustain until you press the footswitch again.
It is the Freeze function from the HOG but without the Gliss.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Flick: unfortunately not, but i’d like to stick to tube amps
I couldn’t not ask and I forgot my smiley in that post
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:well it doesn’t look very goodand i’m not sure about the C1 either… we’ll see, i’m gonna try some amps during the holiday and then pick something… i fear i won’t be able to post here, because i’ll be ashamed that i started with AC15H1TV and ended up with something from bullshit-amps (insert what you don’t like)
Have you tried a 22 Caliber?
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorI recently bought a used (but in mint condition) AC15HTVH head and the V112HTV cabinet and it sounds amazing, I love it. I bought it from some guy on Craigslist that turned out to be the lead guitarist in Rammstein. He said it didn’t fit his style.
Before I bought the Heritage head and cabinet I went to a Guitar Center and first played the AC15C1 and I loved it and thought this is the amp for me. Then I played the AC15H1TV immediately after the AC15C1 and thought it sounded better! After a little going back and forth I thought the Heritage was worth the money. The H1TV has more of a vintage tone, it sounds like a classic amp to me, the C1 is a bit more modern sounding though more versatile.
Personally for me, I get all the different sounds such as distortion, reverb and tremolo from pedals, I don’t need those from the C1 so I went with the amp that sounded better just on its own.
I gigged with my Heritage head and cabinet for the first time this past weekend and it sounded so good!! A couple other guitarists used it for their sets and I thought they sounded great also. I moved up from a vintage 60’s silverface Princeton (was just not quite loud enough) and I am totally in love with the Heritage setup.
