Members ambient Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 "each lithium ion cell will last between 2-3 years, costs of a replacement cell will be $8"... hmmm... so in effect, it could die at any time?that's a bit of a shame, but the benefits of not having to worry about powering your pedals for a gig/rehearsal could make this technology a very useful tool.are Lithium Ion Cell's recyclable? thats red witch, not tc.

Members THAT4301 Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 they should make a big power supply to power a whole board with rechargeable power cells ... if that's possible Isolated? Or one battery for the lot? The latter already exists, although it's kinda overpriced. A rechargable power supply with isolated outs would be pretty big; you'd need seperate batteries and charging circuits for each output. If you wanted it to power something high current you'd need a big battery on at least one output, although you could put smaller ones on there for fuzzes and distortions.

You wouldn't need multiple batteries. You'd just need a transformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also worth noting that the Lo-Fi Junky guy has a 9v thing already built into it. Adding that would be great; wouldn't have to buy those power plates.

Members SpectralJulian Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 Haven't all of his pedals had 9v jacks for a few years now? I thought he stopped with the battery only crap awhile ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 That Vox looper isn't all that tempting to me at all, sadly. A couple of cool ideas I guess... but it didn't really sound all that good in that vid -- and the pricetag didnt really seem to suit it either. Meh, it sounds just as good as the sounds that he was playing into it. It's just like any other looper. Put it between a good amp and a good guitar, and I doubt you'd be complaining about the sound. Mic input is a nice feature too. @ 300 bucks I think I probably might rather get a used 2880, but if I could score a used one for 220 or so. I like to fold, mutilate, and bend loops so this looks right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THAT4301 Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 You wouldn't need multiple batteries. You'd just need a transformer. That would involve using an inverter, which is painfully inefficient when battery life is a concern; especially if you'd be trying to get by with a single battery! Plus, inverting, and then rectifying... You'd need spare volts on the battery, that's even more space. AC != DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nico/atd Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 Nico/ATD: Trogotronic. You seem like the type of guy who could use one. That is all Thanks! I'm pretty much set with weird noisy stuff though. I've only kept my Metasonix Tm's (1,3,5 and 6) and sold my Assblaster and most my DBA stuff (except the Reznor which sounds really cool).

I'm thinking more like the type of battery those battery powered tube amps use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AngryGoldfish Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 Yeah I agree 700-800 is a little much to me. I realize people will probably post the feature set and say it's justified but I just can't see it. Woah... I guess it's back to GASing for a Jamman Stereo.

I'm thinking more like the type of battery those battery powered tube amps use. OK but that doesn't change anything I said. Transformer isolation like that requires inverters which are inefficient and inconvinient. There's no such thing as an AC battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juri Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 Empress Multidrive. Anyone got more infos on this one? It's supposed to has a drive, a fuzz and an EQ!!! So in the day 3 highlights video there was a bit more info about this pedal. It looks like the dirts are not stacked but mixed. So you can apply fuzz to the low end and distortion to the highs.... that sounded like a pretty neat thing to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll reserve judgement when I hear it. It's a lot of knobs for a dirt pedal, albeit a 3 in 1 pedal, plus eq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
