Members shaun126 Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Best New pedal day ever ! So, Im going to start playing around on this. If anyone would care to share any cool settings they enjoy, that would awesome. Regular delay settings, oddball modulation sounds...whatever. Lets start a collection of DMM settings !

I'll show you mine if you show me yours...I dunno, settings threads seem pretty common round these parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shaun126 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well I played with it for about 30 mins... I was a little afraid of the headroom/clipping issues Ive heard about. Maybe I got lucky but I had ZERO problems, the LED barely came on, and I had the input up pretty high. Obviously the modulation/delay combo on it is awesome. I have to say, I feel like the delay time sounds shorter than I expected. Playing it side by side with my Delayla it seems like the delay is a little longer on the Carl Martin. I might consider doing the delay time mod on it if I can come up with the cash. Surprisingly I think the tone of clean delay on the Delayla is BETTER than the DMM. I should say however in fairness, I have already found it's "sweetspot", im still experimenting with the knobs on the DMM. When I have found my preffered setting on the DMM, then we will see which unit I like better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 It is supposed to be like 550, but most of them supposedly need to be professionally calibrated, no chip replacement required. Of course you could do the super long delay time mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long delay time mod is what im considering looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gremson Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 I paid $150 for mine too, but that was right before the whole "discontinued" scare. Quite the score nowadays. Killer buy dude!Settings wise though, can anybody really stand to have the blend set much past 6:00? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shaun126 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, after playing it a bit, it seems the blend around 7:00 is where I prefer it. I still cant get past the delay time, I wish it was just a little bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it the issue is more to do with EHX not calibrating them to Howard's spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shaun126 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 As I understand it the issue is more to do with EHX not calibrating them to Howard's spec. Weird, thats not how i understood it when reading about it on Howard's site. NEED AN ALIGNMENT? Electronic products containing analog delay ICs, and a few other types of components, have internal trimpots for adjustment by a technician. For proper operation these must be correctly set, and this is done at the factory. In time - especially with the rough handling that guitar pedals are often subject to - these trimpots can become misadjusted, resulting in distortion, improper operation, or no operation at all. It is virtually impossible to correctly adjust all the trimpots - called "doing an alignment" - without using lab equipment and the proper procedure. An audio oscillator, oscilloscope, the schematic, and the test and alignment procedure for that particular pedal are required, as well as technical training and experience. Attempting an alignment without these essentials usually just makes the problem worse - and more costly to fix! The most common symptom indicating the need for an alignment is overdrive distortion occurring at too low a signal level. This can also result from weak batteries or an abnormally low power supply voltage, so make sure to check this before sending your pedal for repair.

Members SpectralJulian Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 550 ms is a lot of time for an analog delay that doesn't have tap tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 That's a cool pedal, and definitely a GREAT score in that condition for only $150 - CONGRATS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shaun126 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 550 ms is a lot of time for an analog delay that doesn't have tap tempo.Thats what they say.All im saying is it seems that the delayla (which claims to be 500ms) sounds a little longer with delay time maxed out. I had hoped the DMM would delay a little longer...thats all.Still a kickass pedal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 I have a 1978 model (blue/red with 4 knobs) which uses the old SAD1024 bbds, and the delay time is less than 400ms. The repeats are really dirty when playing clean. I just scored an older model of the black/red version with 5 knobs and the built-in power supply for $100, and I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I predict I'll have to send it to Howard for re-calibrating. Does anyone know what year EHX stopped designing them with the built in power?

Killer buy dude!Settings wise though, can anybody really stand to have the blend set much past 6:00? I find timing issues arise with the blend too far up, but you can get yourself totally lost with full blend. Of course it's best feature (sorry most unusable but enjoyable feature) self oscilliation!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
