Members Jack Luminous Posted October 28, 2005 Members Posted October 28, 2005 Pimpin' !! So how are you liking that Mesa midi-matrix ?? Does it murder the tone or is it fairly transparent ?? Also, if you don't mind, could you detail the specs on yours (number of loops, mono/stereo, signal splitter etc) because I can't seem to find precise infos on those... Originally posted by Polygamy16
Members heath Posted October 28, 2005 Members Posted October 28, 2005 Here is a illustrator'ed version of my rack since I dont have pics of it made yet. Of course since I made this I have picked up a midi controller as well for the digitech processor.

Also, if you don't mind, could you detail the specs on yours (number of loops, mono/stereo, signal splitter etc) because I can't seem to find precise infos on those... The amp has 8 switches, 6 loops, stereo outs(in which case you'd only get 3 loops, it's sort of tricky but it's legit). ..it allows for amp/preamp switching and is quite the transparent unit. . .it's sort of dated by today's standard's but it does everything I need it to do (and then some) so I'm happy. What I do is control all the functions of my mark IV(about 5 switches) and then I take the direct out of my mark iv and put it into the midi matrix and control 2 extra mesa 2x12 cabs wired to a mesa 50/50. . .not to mention incorp/bypass effects in the loop. . .To answer your question, thinking about it, yes you can use it as a signal splitter(4 routers). . .that's what I do to send signals to the two sides of the mesa 50/50 think of the midi matrix as a unit that does a lot of things and does it well. . .it doesn't skimp on switches, loops or outs. For some people, a lot of things might go unrealized but looking at what my alternatives would be, it's saved me a lot of additional hardware. My MAIN gripe(and I haven't read about it anywhere else) is that the internal memory is maintained by those quarter sized watch batteries. Perhaps mine has a glitch or something but I have to replace those things about every 8 months or so which becomes a bitch(having to remove the unit from rack and then open the case) I'm thinking there's a fault with mine because I haven't read anybody else having the same experience. . .although, I remember seeing on ebay a guy selling the unit with the disclaimer "unit doesn't not retain settings" Obviously he didn't know how to fix it(a simple 3 dollar fix every 8 months or so) and wrote the unit off as faulty. . .damn, I wanted to snatch it up, replace the battery and sell it for a few bills more (shoulda coulda woulda) anyways, I hope that helps a bit. . .it's a good unit that can be picked up for a pretty good price especially if you find a frustrated musician that's tired of the unit not retaining memory:-) Then again, then that problem becomes yours every year

Members came2play Posted November 19, 2005 Members Posted November 19, 2005 Originally posted by Jack Luminous Nice setup, bro !! It takes an Holdsworth's slut to recognize another one Could you review briefly the DG1000 ?? I think I want one !! I just saw your post about the DG1000 of losttranslator's. I've been keepin' my eyes open for one & I don't know if you saw my post from a couple days ago, but I scored a DG1000 on ebay for $269.00 shipped! I think that's a decent deal considering they were 1k new. I had a DG Stomp & the only reason I gave it up was the switching hassle. I could have just midi'd in to switch patches but didn't consider that at the time. Now I have a great outboard processor & combined with the 1000, I think it'll make a killer rig option.
