have you considered

A St Vincent signature model

#1685

Honestly? No.

I have seriously considered the bloke from trivium’s signature model but cant for obvious reasons

Ugly af. Why are guitars so ugly?

What delay pedal should I buy?

Empress tape delay any good? There’s too much choice these days, used to run a Boss DM2 and that was fine.

This is my bae :heart:

I have the DM2 waza and love it, although it’s ended up getting used with synths more than guitar at the mo

#1691

I do really want this now - going to try one out

I’m quite taken with my EHX Cathedral. Great for layering endless reverb tails up into massive swirling droning sonic mulch.

I liked the TC electronics Alter Ego, it is basically there flashback delay but with all their analog and tape simulations (plus you can load standard digital delay sounds on it as well with the app).

reckon every single person here should get an HX stomp though, for the price of something that is a bit more than a high end delay you get something that realistically models a space echo, echoplex, dm-2, deluxe memory man, plus hundreds of other effects, 6 effects at once in the foot print of a medium size pedal

Saw this on Instagram earlier and thought of you.

@xylo to the thread and I guess maybe the likes of @McGarnagle, @Twinkletoes and @sheeldz?

Basically I have an old old Focusrite Saffire LE and it has generally worked fine for me but it only works on Firewire 400 (!!!) and my work laptop is the only device I have that can use that…and it’s broken so that’s that.

I feel a bit lost without even the option to record stuff so I was looking at some USB 3 audio interfaces. Ideally I’d get another 4-input like the Focusrite as it was occasionally useful but 2-inputs is fine.

It seems like the cheapest thing is Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD:

Like it’s cheaper than the other 2-input ones I can find that I liked the look of, and way cheaper than any other 4-input device so, er, what’s the catch? Is there any?

EDIT they have a 202 which is even cheaper as a version of this. I guess Behringer are just good? (My little mixing board I had from them years back was a beauty.)

I deeply miss my electric guitar and keyboard :frowning:

I think Behringer stuff is a little bit of a lottery. Some of their gear is as good as things almost twice the price but other stuff is shite. They’re certainly more consistent than they were.

I think part of the way they’re able to make things so cheap is that they tear down and copy things that other manufacturers have done, so there’s less R&D, then get it made really cheaply in China or wherever.

If anything is likely to let that down I’d have thought it would be the pre-amps, which seem to vary in quality from manufacturer to manufacturer. Chances are it’ll be perfectly acceptable for home recording, but not as good as focusrite.

Thanks a lot. In fact the 202 version of that is coming out at $149 so not much cheaper, although they do a really small 2in/2out for $69 AUD (nice).

#1701

I think I have that small one (the UMC22?) Unless you need more ins/outs it’s a perfectly decent piece of kit. I haven’t used anything more excitement to compare it against but I’m struggling to think of anything I’d want an interface to do that the budget Behringer doesn’t.

Think quality of preamps is a factor with interfaces, I know I noticed a difference between the kind of dull sounding m-audio one I had and the focusrite scarlet I have now, don’t know how behringer compare. The focusrite scarlet range has just released a third generation, so could probably find a 2nd gen one for a good price

I was abiht to say this. The third gen is fine, but I’ve heard great things about the 2in Scarlet models. I have a 2nd gen Solo.
