    ditto x4 looper :)

    For the benefit of future people's research into this pedal, I just bought one and the answer to my above question is yes, the pedal does indeed take care of the timing for you when you bring one of the loops back in from having been dropped out. This pedal truly rocks.

    ditto x4 looper :)

    Thanks man. That's good news. I didn't quite ask the second half of the question right though. My bad. So, if I've recorded stuff to Loop 1 and some overdub layers to Loop 2, then drop Loop 2 out for a while before bringing it back in, is it my responsibility to bring it back in bang on time...

    ditto x4 looper :)

    Quick question: In 'sync' mode, does the Ditto quantize the two loop channels together? No quantize is possibly a deal-breaker for me. I know, practice makes perfect, but I wanna be playing music not messing around with pedals and worrying about my loops drifting out of time. Thanks man.

    Just got another call to play for free....sigh...

    It's so frustrating isn't it. I get it as well when people moan about the rates. They seem to think you just spring up through the floorboard and music comes out of your arse by magic. No idea about the practice, driving, equipment purchasing, loading, unloading, learning, setting up, marketing...

    Genz Benz head blown. Any electronics-savvy people got a spare minute?

    Good point. I'll post a warning thread for people to consider doing that!

    Genz Benz head blown. Any electronics-savvy people got a spare minute?

    At this point I'm an inch away from ordering another one altogether and just claiming this one on insurance. I'd be happy to sell the rudendant box to someone for basically nothing though, or probably free. Let me see what the insurance company says first. Roll on Monday... Sorry to stay away...

    Very sound advice Paul, thank you. I only thought he'd check the DI cable and the ground lift, not start flipping conspicuously red don't-shag-with-me switches he didn't understand! Really love this community. Amazing to think people from around the world I've never met are chiming in with...

    Well it is insured and that's what insurance is for. Obviously I'd prefer it if their insurance covered it but we'll see. Besides, in spite of his defensive reaction it was an honest mistake. He's a kid and was trying to help (not that I wanted or needed his help!) and we all know you have to...

    Thanks everyone for your responses, especially you agedhorse. I got very lucky that you noticed this thread. So it's likely destroyed then. Awesome. Luckily it's insured. That young numpty shouldn't be a sound tech. Sounds harsh but I'm gonna have to go back and tell his superior about it...

    Gigging all weekend so thought I'd gather some info here before I take the amp into the shop. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but I'm stuck using an iPhone and browsing is painful! On my gig tonight a well-intentioned but possibly clueless stage tech flipped the voltage switch on the...

    Genz Benz NX2-212T

    I've only ever played a Streamliner in a shop at low volume (through the original NeoX 212T) but I really didn't like it, personally. It was A/B'd with a STL 6.0 and an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 (which was easily the best sounding to my ears). Can't say whether the Stream's a gooden at gig volume...

    Genz Benz NX2-212T

    I just bagged an NX2-212T for £379 new from GAK for any UK peeps reading this. They still have plenty in stock, too. I'm downsizing my Berg NV610 and couldn't resist the price tag and weight. I was surprised though when I started gigging it that I prefer the sound of the NX2. Really gospel...

    Best Amp for Genz Benz NX2-212T

    I just bagged the NX2 for £379 as well and I actually prefer it to the Berg NV610 from which I'm downsizing. Tighter bottom end on my Dingwall SJ5 and much tastier highs for my tastes, let alone how easy it is to move. Anyway, I've been running both with a GB STL 9.0 for a couple of years and...

    How am I struggling to sell a Berg NV610 in the UK?!

    It's marked down to £700 in the actual thread. The only place I can find to get these new in the UK is from this German website: Link Removed which lists them as €1399 (£1197). £700 is 42% less than that price. I paid £1100 for mine and it's the most recent model of the NV610 which is...

    **BERGANTINO NV610 - £750 - UK ONLY**

    Thank you big time. Found a couple of people there who are (or were, at least) looking for one so fingers crossed someone'll be interested.
