Hardwire[Digitech] CR-7 Chorus review

[Chronicle]

Wouldn't it go through it anyways since it's true bypass?

Not when the effect is activated.

 

[B.C.]

I actually got to try these out before digitech released them. To set the record straight, Digitech did not design these pedals at all. The company was independently known as Hardwire Pedals. Digitech, before Hardwire Pedals released their product explained that it takes a lot of work and money to get new pedals on the market, and selling well. So they decided to let digitech buy them in exchange for the networking of the pedals.

Hm, sounds like a good deal. I can see potential for these guys.

 

[B.C.]

Hmmm well they certainly brought something new to the table. The switch relay thing could revolutionize non-TBP pedals.

EDIT: I'm confused on whether these are TBP or not after re-reading the thread.

+1

Yes, I believe they are.

So, hows the reverb on bass? You work at GC right Chronicle?

 

[cheapbasslovin]

The effect is in bypass mode whenever there is no power applied to it. Even if you have the effect engaged and then pull power from it, it will go into bypass mode without hitting the switch. If your using batteries and it dies while the effect is engaged, it will default to TBP.

Are we talking TBP or relay TBP?

With true bypass, if your power shuts off, your signal will still be going through the non powered circuit(Ie no sound) until you hit the switch. This is because the switch is purely mechanical.

However, with the relay TBP, when the power shuts off it automatically goes to bypass. This is because a relay is a voltage controlled switch. When you love your voltage, it switches.

This sound really interesting to me.

 

[Chronicle]

It's a relay TBP.

Yeah i work at GC...if you look next t my name...duh...

The reverb i haven't tried yet... i'm not a big fan of reverb on bass but i'm curious to hear the Reserve reverb.

One pretty cool thing about them is they have relay based TBP switching so when they lose power they go straight to bypass mode. I played one at GC and it was mostly pretty cool. Very versatile.

Come ooooonnnnn, pay attention.

 

[B.C.]

Come ooooonnnnn, pay attention.

Lol O I know it was relay. I was just taking the time to explain how it works........................Shows what I get for trying to enlighten you folks



Edit, I think I quoted the wrong one earlier. Sorry!

 

[OhThePeacock]

Hmmm I guess I've just never tried unplugging the power from my TBP pedals when they were engaged (imgine that.) I understand it now though.

 

[bassteban]

Lots of variety in there. I'm going to have to test out the delay/looper soon.

Lol yeah, me either, but it is a cool feature. The only problem is that if the power drops at a gig, it will more than likley drop the amp power too.

Your local GC store should have their Hardwire display up now or very soon. Ask your favorite Accessories salesman :]

When you love your voltage, it switches.

Hmm, maybe I should buy my voltage some roses, so it'll know I love it.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats what I get when I type that in the morning after my Calculus class and before a physics lab.

eh hm, *loose*

 

[santucci218]

I hope Hardwire Pedals comes out with more then just the initial 9...maybe...maybe Bass pedals!

I don't have a local GC.

that last part of the clip is really nice, that was a delay with the chorus right? and you were playing with the time knob?

That sounded nice.
