I postulate that it is not.


Sounds like how all the demos of the old Digitech intelligent harmonizers focus on getting a shimmer sound, replete with U2 obsessive foolishness.

Has anyone used pickups from the Creamery in the UK? Specifically, I have been looking at the Burns Sonic 60 replacement pickups for the Jaguar (my jag has the two dragster humbuckers). They look pretty neat but are a 132 pounds.

I wish I still had my old yamaha flying samurai (it got stolen years ago).

If you don't need a direct Jag replacement, Adeson is supposed to be good and is comparatively (though not absolutely) cheap: http://www.adeson.co.uk/Classic.html

i had one for a couple of years and sold it last christmas. it worked well for what i used it for, dark, broody, reverby things with a hint of chorus wobble. it self-oscillates nicely too if you are into that. can go totally spaceship if you want it to. it does pretty much (90-95% minimum) everything the eh does for no money. in a mix (with distortion, fuzz, reverb, etc) i think you'd be working hard to tell the difference.

i think it's a bit darker sounding than the original, which i liked. have only played with an original (recent eh, not vintage eh) dmm for a while but i remember it being brighter. the darker thing suited me better. looking at it the other way around, if the behringer was hundreds of dollars and the eh cheap, i'd buy the cheaper eh and probably try to mod it to make it darker anyway. but i don't really use chorus so i let it go.

one thing i didn't like about it was that the pots had plastic shafts. i don't like that in any pedals. if it's on the floor on a darkly lit stage i want metal shaft every time. mine never broke because i''m generally careful, but if i'd kept it i would have swapped them out for metal shaft. an easy mod. five pots cost nothing, plus half an hour to solder. and the knobs were ugly so i replaced with the moogy ones i use on my builds. don't like the original eh ones either.
it looks good. tank-like case. dmm layout. had i kept it i may have sanded it down to steel and laquered it. am into that moogy aesthetic.
it's so cheap for what it essentially is. buy a used one and try it. if it doesn't work for you, you can easily sell it on and lose nothing.

btw, have you got a link to the posts you mention? am curious to read what he is saying. are you sure it's really him and not some eh shill or forum fanboy?

Hmm, sounds like it might be closer to the Deluxe Memory Boy than to the Deluxe Memory Man, probably using the same new chips which seem to be darker sounding.

Whats a solid medium to bright analog delay?

I really like the quality of the repeats on the Malekko 616 but the buffer messed with my dirt that I put after the delay. the el Cap and my boss delays don't really cop that brighter analog sound.

Fuck, I paid like $70 a couple of years ago.
Doesn't sound as dark as the DMB nor as bright as the DMM.

Small Echo Array? Seemed like it could get bright in the demos. I've thought about replacing my El Cap with one because I mostly just use the multi head mode anyways

Edit: Never mind, it doesn't have a tone control

SEA isn't analogue either.
Most analogue delays are pretty dark to filter out the noise from the bbds.
The only delay I've playef that fits the bill is the skeleton prince in limbo. Crazy powerful tone control and the clearest delays I've heard on an analogue delay. Hit the duder up in the shark tank.

I've gone through a couple of El Capistans. I think that I really, really prefer the Brigadier over it. I just wish it didn't come in that tacky green colour.
