Since I swapped over from a Numark mixer which had a number quality different effects built into it & upgraded to a Allen Heath XONE23 mixer im stuck for getting a decent effects unit without breaking the bank.
I’m after something simple that can create a some tape dub echo mainly.
What do you use if any effects?
BTW I mainly use just x2 SL1210’s vinyl turntables so any pc software is useless on me!
I’ve bought & sold an old version of the pioneer bit of kit you see below, & currently have the Korg monotron which I’m going sell on as it’s not doing it for me.
I used to have a Boss SE-70 in the olden days, pretty much decided I was over using and sold it, all my mixes began to sound the same with overly long tape-delay segues
Not sure… what kind of effects are you after? Sure any rack mounted effects unit would do if your after reverbs and echos etc. Maybe get a pedal too so you can trigger from there. Won’t be any beat syncing though. The Pioneer RMX1000 seems to be the only serious contender but pricey at £600 or so.
I used to have an SE50 too which i used for guitar and keyboard effects. I think the reason they go for high prices is due to the vocoder effect it has.
The one that young Marco uses for djing that I’ve also got in the studio is the re20 space echo guitar pedal (sort of ported digital version of the space echo). It’s pretty cheap (ish) and has different effects on it from simple to messed up delays to just reverb and then you can snap (if you want) the delay in to time alongside the record playing. It’s good fun.
Bradley Zero used to use a Memory Man pedal at Canavans. worked pretty nicely with an E&S. tapping to get the timing is okay with me - too rigid is boring af. I’ve got zero interest in sounding like the Pioneer fx
I just had the signal going through the pedal then dialled down the wet delay so it wasn’t too much and it went over the sound ok. If that makes sense.
Yeah that would work. If you can get a jack to two jack splitter then you just need a lead. Job job. Then go from that into effects then take wet effect back to mixer. Though then you’d need more that two channels on your mixer but I guess most have that. (Excuse the Amazon screen grab).
