Stamme[n] by Drolo (V2 info on page 15!)

[Ruiner]

I'm guessing you pick after you order maybe?

yep

Ok cool, thanks. Still want two.

[Seance]

Well maybe all the misses i've had trying to get one

"All the misses" is a strange phrase in the Ruiner lexicon since you have such a high number of ped-attempts.
Percentage-wise, surely it is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of successful pedal acquisitions?

Do you rue the pedal that got away more than the vast horde that you run ruin and roughshod over?









Congrats to all who snagged pedals. Clips, please? (Like immediately. Even before the pedal arrives. Give
us all a sound/YouTube clip of how you imagine the pedal to sound, then another one after it arrives.)

Always want what you can't have. I'm just usually good at getting in on these things but for some reason it's these and Montreal Assembly i keep missing out on! Cooper too but finally got those. Not actually mad, i know i'll get one but me want now.

[whoismarykelly]

I thought this was the first batch available to the public? I don't think any others have been for sale.

Im chomping at the bit for a Cooper Outward.

For Stamme[n] yes, this is the first public release.
But not so for the Molecular Disruption Device & Molecular Compactor.

Same

Got it. Stamme[n] thread so I thought we were talking about that specific pedal.

[Christophe]

I thought the e-mail said noon too... So next time!
I have a couple of questions about the freeze mode on the Stammen:
-With the Ehx freeze, a "frozen" chord sounds organ-like, very similar to your guitar sound, quite warm. It's very different with the MASF Raptio, where the freeze mode is more lo-fi, you lose some low-end, and it sounds as if a bit of white noise was added to your sound. It's ok, but it's not smooth, the frozen sound sticks out a bit.
-On the Raptio, the great thing is that you can keep on layering sounds in freeze mode, the last thing you freeze doesn't cancel the previous one completely (that is, if you stomp quickly). But this has a counterpart: you can't play a series of frozen chords (like say, a keyboard player), since the second chord is bound to "mingle" with the first one, etc..., and the harmony gets blurred.
So how does the Stammen compares to that? Is it a ehx or a Masf texture? And is there a full reset each time you stomp on it, or is it adding layers? (I'm asking cos it's hard to tell from vids)
Thanks guys.

Noon for David which is GMT+2.

I don't think you're adding layers with the Raptio. Its playing whatever layer is in the buffer and if you freeze a new layer its what was coming into the buffer when you hit the switch again.

[Christophe]

I have the Ratio. It seems like you have a certain amount of miliseconds for sampling, and you can "add" sounds until you reach the limit.
But, regardless of how it functions: if you freeze a chord, and then freeze another one right after that, something from the first chord is still there, blended with the new chord you froze. And this doesn't happen with the Ehx.

Just went and tested as I never use the hold mode on the Raptio and I see what you mean. It has decay like the long mode of the Freeze but when you let off the switch it mutes the wet signal while the Freeze lets it decay. But you can bring that decay back if you hit the switch again quickly. Its at about half the volume each time you bring it back.

Got it. Stamme[n] thread so I thought we were talking about that specific pedal.

Most of us are. But for Ruiner the conversation is often and usually about "all of them".

Hey! We were talking about the release announcement which covered all of them! .... but TBH I was wine drunk last night and thought this was a generic Drolo thread and not specific to Stammen

[manymanyhaha]

I spent about 10 minutes yesterday trying to figure out what GMT+2 meant for CST in the States and then forgot to set my alarm for 455am

I have not tried a raptio but since it too uses an FV1 I guess it operates in the same principle.
You have to see this effect basically as a very long reverb that feeds back in a closed loop. So when you release it, you still have the decaying reverb, which is probably what you mean with the different layers.
As far as sound goes, yes its different than the EHX one that operates differently with more horsepower, I presume they use some FFT analysis etc.
I tried to use some filters to make it less harsh. It also depends on what portion of the sound you freeze and its harmonic content. I tend to use this before any dirt for example as it sounds less synthetic

At my day job I work with a lot of people in different time zones so I am always googling time zone converter to know when a meeting takes place
I need to come up with a better way to indicate the time so that everyone understands it :-)
