lmbalcao Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Does any one use this pedal? The delay is good? Can the delay and the looper be used at the same time? Thanks! Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgie Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Rich is correct on all counts. No delay while looping, which is a bit of a shame, but at the end of the day it's got 3 independant modes, and in keeping with the size, only 2 footswitches, so turning on delay while looping wouldnt be possible.

burno70 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Rich, do you know if it's true bypass and if not - is it a tone sucker? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joegarcia Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Just bought an EHX Memory Man with Hazarai and it is amazing. It can do awesome delays with looping at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar South Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) I've got one too, the looping is more of a gimmick on that pedal though, very limited. The part I like about the looping is that because its stereo you can run 2 instruments through it and send each to their own individual amps so its pretty decent for just messing around with, I just wouldn't use it for live looping. As far as delays go though I've never played another pedal that even comes close to that one. Edited July 1, 2008 by Oscar South Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.sibs Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 How come the looping is a gimmick? what makes it worse than the headrush?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar South Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) The Headrush is basically a looper pedal with delay tacked on, the MMw/H is a delay pedal with looping tacked on. I've only used the Headrush once but its just much better suited to looping live than the MM, stuff like being able to change modes with your feet whereas with the MM you have to get on your knees and play with settings, and being able to remove all overdubs and return to you're original loop by hitting a footswitch, it also has a lot of support from experienced loop artists such as Steve Lawson and KT Tunstall too.

mr.sibs Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 cool thanks, my decision was between these two and i think im going to stick with the headrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Be warned though, while the delay on the Headrush is ok, its quite basic. It's got the standards like tap tempo, repeats (and a nice high frequency damp for faux-analog sounds) it's just a bare bones delay with not many features. Absolutely shines as a Looper though. Most easy and intuitive pedal I've used. Awesome for quick on the fly stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.sibs Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 to be honest im not a massive fan/user of delay anyway (although the memory man sounds did seem pretty cool) and im mainly interested in the looper bit, hopefully it will free me up live to do some other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
