Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 28, 2009 Members Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'd like to kick things off with my brief stereo demo soundclip of the Space Station: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7557041 http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7562331 Related Stuff: Hurb's thread about it Harmony-Central Advert digitech xp series all in one!!!

Members finboy Posted April 28, 2009 Members Share Posted April 28, 2009 i love minethe whammy wah doesn't track as well as the whammy i or iv but it still does a decent job. the space station is worth the money itself the reverberator has some great reverbs, including an infinite setting iirc the modulation station probably has some good stuff but i've never bothered with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, the rotary speaker presets are really good, they're in stereo, and the treadle really emulates the lag time of the motor. It's one of the best rotary emulator stompboxes out there for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid volume drop I've forgotten what those modes are, but now you've got me curious. Are you using it in stereo as well? Maybe the volume drop would be less in stereo.

Members Bobby D Posted April 28, 2009 Members Share Posted April 28, 2009 the space station is a lot of fun, i picked one up in a pawn shop around 98 or so for $50, and made some noise with it for a few months before i flipped it for a profit. i'm not surprised these have risen in value, they are pretty unique..... does the ex7 cop a lot of the vibe of the space station?

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 28, 2009 does the ex7 cop a lot of the vibe of the space station? I think it only incorporates Preset 1, the Synth String Swell. I tried the EX7 when it was released, and IIRC the treadle didn't have much sweep to it.

Members ArrMatey Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 what are the first two modes you are using in the demo?To be honest, this is the most original pedal I have heard in a long time. Is this all just the pedal, nothing extra has been used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this all just the pedal, nothing extra has been used? Nothing extra - Just the Space Station. First preset is the sample&hold, which is preset 28 (? I think)Second preset is the Synth String Swell - preset 1. It is a very "original pedal." I put off buying one for a long time because it always bothered me that there was no way to adjust the parameters of the presets, other than what the treadle was assigned to. That still kind of bothers me; but there's still plenty of fun to be had with the presets as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hivedestruction Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 ha.. a couple years ago some dude offered me a space station for a DMM, and I thought he was just being a dick trying to offer me some {censored}ty digitech pedal.. In retrospect, if I would have known anything about the space station, I would have done the trade in a heartbeat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blakemore Effects Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 I've had my Space Station for about 3 years or so now. It's always on and off my board. I can never really find a use for it. I really need to start writing songs around it instead of trying to add it in. Also, not that I'm running my rig in stereo, it sounds like the Space Station may be ready to make it's glorious comeback in my rig. Thanks again for the clips, man.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks again for the clips, man. One of the things I love about hanging out at HCFX is that every so often somebody rejeuvenates my interest in a pedal that has sat in its box for awhile. You did that for me today, so thank you!

Bummer. You can almost buy 2 used DMMs for the price of Space Station these days. Not to rub it in or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members finboy Posted April 29, 2009 Members Share Posted April 29, 2009 the {censored}ty tracking on the xp100 can make some interesting wall of sound stuff. use the harmonize mode to harmonize a 4th up, i think it is mode 27, then run a big muff (i used a vintage distortion behringer). i tried it out in DAGDAD and playing chords sounds massive.

Wasn't it a poor seller originally? I mean, other than Meridith Brooks, I can't think of 1 high profile guitarist who used one when they were new.DSP mojo.

Same thing with Ross Childress from Collective Soul. I know they both had them, and I guess Kirk supposedly used it in "I Disappear" and Ross used it in "Run" but I couldn't tell you where, or even if that's true.
