March 15, 2010 at 8:06 pm in reply to: The What Is The Current Draw For That EHX Pedal Thread #108544Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:I live in Japan and will be going to the USA soon. Plan to purchase a HOG there (very expensive here in Japan) and bring it back here. My question is: do I need a different power supply for the HOG to work in Japan? Can the HOG run off of a Pedal Power (Japanese version)? Thanks for your help.
I don’t know about the Pedal Power but the HOG needs about 250mA at 9VDC. The HOG’s US AC Adapter will probably work ok in Japan but you would be better off buying the Japanese version of that AC Adapter or using another power supply.
The polarity of the HOG’s power jack is center positive.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Yes it is regulated,
i do not check the polarity yet, but i am gonna do it.
Thanks for your answersIf it’s regulated (and the polarity is correct) it will be totally fine. Sometimes unregulated AC Adapters with high current ratings put out a higher output voltage than what they are rated for, if significantly less current is being drawn.

i have a 9V DC but it’s 670mA,
is it OK for the Memory Toy?Probably would be fine. Do you know if the output is regulated? Make sure the polarity is center negative.

I have a small list I have started to compile so I’ll find it and post the muffs I have measured so far.This sounds right to me.

Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Thanks for the answers on the current draw.I got the Memory Toy yesterday, and I love it. For now I am using the battery that it came with. I am going to put it on my pedal board that is now powered by a OneSpot, but that will be replaced soon by a powersupply with separate outlets (9VDC).
The manual says to only use an EHX powersupply (it didn’t come with one). I am curious why a third party PS would not work.
You can use the Memory Toy with a 1 Spot or just about any third party power supply that supplies at least 25 mA at 9VDC. The polarity is center negative.

best regardsWe made a software update to eliminate the 4 beat count-in. You may already have it on your 16 Second.
Try this:
1. Push the COARSE slider all the way to its top-most position.
2. Put the 16 Second into either LOOP mode, C or S.
3. While the 16 Second is stopped press RECORD to record a new loop as you would normally. The 16 Second will begin recording immediately. No count-in.
4. Press PLAY or RECORD to end the loop and it will end immediately upon pressing the FSW. Your loop length will be the time between the two FSW presses.If you try this and still get the count-in then you have the older software.
If you do not have this software, we are running a software upgrade program. Please contact info@sovtek.com for more information. The 16 Second’s software has to be updated in our factory, it is not user-upgradeable.

This is the first we are hearing about a volume problem on the Dr. Q. We have to look into it.

http://www.campbellsound.com/Definitely interested to hear your results with the 8 ohm cabinet. It should be fine.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:I also have problem trying to get it to receive MIDI.
Tried Midi Ch.16, also read thru the manual a few times, have also checked midi cables, etc… Seems like my pedal somehow will not respond to MIDI at all. Have tried sending it Notes, Midi CC, even tried every midi channel, still no joy. Everything else works except MIDI.Anyone knows any other ways to test or reset this ?
Cheers
Does your V256 work normally otherwise? Have you got it working with just the internal synth, changing pitch using the PITCH knob?
March 4, 2010 at 9:23 pm in reply to: 22 Caliber cutting out when playing over half on the dial #108182Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:I’ve been playing with my new 22 cal for a couple of weeks now but today, when I was showing it off and playing loud (about 60% on the dial) it started cutting off. It would drop to silent and then come back on, drop and come back on until the volume dropped to a certain level and then it’d come back on full time. Drive it hard again and it’d do the same thing.I plugged it into a variac w/ an ammeter on it just to see what was what and noticed that anytime the power draw got much above .6A (six tenths of an amp) the sound would cut out.
Other than that I love the pedal and would sure like to continue using it. Is mine defective? What will it take to get it fixed?
Help??
From what you are describing it sounds like the cabinet you are using is a 4 ohm cabinet.
When we first sold the 22 Caliber we said it could work down to 4 ohms but we were wrong. When plugged into a 4 ohm cabinet, as soon as the 22 Caliber starts to distort, it overheats and shuts itself off. This usually occurs at around 11 o’clock on the dial.
The minimum cabinet impedance should be 8 ohms. If you are using an 8 or 16 ohm cabinet then something may be wrong with your 22 Caliber.
