Members puddinstone Posted April 6, 2006 Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 I'm think about getting one to control tremolo speed. I'm working on a smaller second board that has all the stuff I use the most (vol pedal, Barber Tone press, maybe an overdrive, 1 delay, reverb and trem) and I want to see if I'll have room for it on the board. FYI: The second board will have effects that I use less. (DD-20, DD-5, ELH DMM, ELH Full Double Tracking, Whammy, and in the future ELH 16 sec delay, POG, Frequency Analyzer....etc) This board will only come out for one of the bands I'm in and will stay at home for the other 3 steady gigs I have. I'm getting tired of loading up a 40x20 ata full of pedals at least 4 times a week. From the looks of the pedal board pics...I bet some of you guys can relate...

Members phishmarisol Posted April 6, 2006 Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 I was JUST looking at one of these...not sure but looks to be the size of a big EB volume pedal...look at it on the musictoyz site next to that red llamma...it dwarfs it.

Members GuyaGuy Posted April 6, 2006 Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 i wish that the 3rd hand could be slipped on/off the knob lickety-split so you can change it to another pedal on the fly. but apparently it takes a bit of set-up time. prolly just a na djustment screw or something but not anything you'd wanna do live between songs.

Members puddinstone Posted April 6, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 I was just reading the reviews...not so great. Does anybody know if they have been upgraded or if the issues have been addressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would be great...Or you could just do what they talk about on Musictoyz...get alot of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members loosegroove Posted April 6, 2006 Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 Or maybe get one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachary vex Posted April 6, 2006 Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 i looked at and tested an early version of this thing and unless it has been completely re-designed, i don't see how it could possibly work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BmoreTele Posted April 6, 2006 Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 You would probably be better off getting an expression pedal jack added to your current tremolo pedal or going with the Cusack Tap-a-Whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members puddinstone Posted April 6, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2006 I had a Cusack....it's on Ebay right now. It's a great trem but it doesn't line up with what you tap. It's the right tempo but the top or bottom of the wave isn't on the beat. It's like it's staggered. I've had it about 2 months and I could never get it to work for me. I hate to see it go...I had such high explectations which it met except that the whole tap tempo thing which is the reason I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cusackmusic Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 You make a good point with the linning up thing. I didn't know where most people would want it lined up (Top, Bottom, Middle) so I guessed. It's not difficult to change that. Maybe I could make the Option pot change where the wave starts? Just a thought... Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members puddinstone Posted April 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 I personally like the top of the wave (height of volume) on the beat. I'm sure this would be different...or at least more difficult on the more complex wave forms. But that's my 2 cents. Can this be modded on mine...or a new version of the pedal put out that has the "Top" on the beat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cusackmusic Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 I can change just the non-complex waveforms. It would be just a software change, so I could do it on the pedal you have. It just might take me a week or two go get around to doing it. If that's something you'd like to try, let me know... Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cusackmusic Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 Maybe we should take a poll, to see where everyone would prefer the wave to line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
