來自單顆效果器魔人Zachary Vex的多發信件。 Hello! It's done the Lo-fi Loop Junky (T.M.)! I started on this one over 3 years ago and kept putting it away, but I sat down seriously this year and finished the design. It's a 20 second analog looping sampler, with vibrato on the loop, and a lovely guitar preamp for your direct sound that uses a very unique bootstrap circuit. I kept with my traditions of low power and true-bypass and such, and managed to squeeze my most complicated circuit yet into a tiny box again, the size of a Fuzz Factory (T.M.). You're probably wondering why I'm putting those (T.M.) thingies in this letter hmm, so am I. 8^) I have shipped the first 50 units to stores around the United States, including (not in any particular order): True Tone, Tonefrenzy.com, Atomic Instruments, Rainbow Music, Elderly Instruments, Edtronics, Music-Go-Round in Texas and Oklahoma, Boston Guitarworks, Sylvan Music, Make滱 Music, Guitar Oasis, 30th Street Guitars, Musictoyz.com, Action, Bananas at Large, Rudy's Music Stop, Mesa-Boogie Store, Steve's Music, Twin Town (they have serial number 000), and Century Music. Information about these dealers can be found on my website here: http://zvex.com/dealers.html Here's a list of features: -20 seconds record capability (stops recording after 20 seconds) -Immediate playback after record with click-free looping -Lo-fidelity sound... 2.6kHz playback response, 256 bit equivalent resolution -Analog storage in digital memory without a-to-d conversion (!) -Near infinite input impedance using novel bootstrap approach for direct sound -Vibrato depth and speed controls that move around about a semitone maximum -Safety switch for record preservation -Saves last loop indefinitely without battery power -Sleep mode for low power usage! 2mA in bypass, 12 mA while looping or recording. -48 hours continuous looping from one alkaline 9V! (Included) -Smells nice! -LED indicates record mode and blinks at the end of play loop before repeat -Instant playback after record (a few milliseconds of process time, negligible) -Ultra-loud playback if necessary -Record level knob allows overdriven analog sampling and aliasing artifacts -True-bypass switch restarts loop from top instantly -No learning curve! Completely intuitive! I've just put up a picture of the unit on my site, along with the instructions (click on the picture on the site). For a larger picture, click on the picture on the instruction sheet page. I hope to put up some sound samples in a few days of the Lo-fi Loop Junky and other products. Please, because my mailing list is enormous now, go there and read about the details (if this product interests you) before writing to me with questions, or else I'll be buried with replies! Thanks, and thanks for signing up to my list! Zachary Vex http://zvex.com/
