Anyone use a EHX SMMH

I don't have any current GAS other than maybe a stereo memory man w/ hazari. My analog delays are covered and I was something that can go 100% wet on reverse. Also the loop ability isn't too bad, it's short, but I already have an RC-20, I also like the idea of presets on every setting :idk: Anyone use/have one? What are your thoughts?

I had one and it was sooo rad. The looper is aight.. The way you start/stop the loop is kindof annoying though.. I'd rather click a switch to start then click again to stop. But it's not that big of a deal I guess.

The fact that you can use all of the other functions while looping makes it pretty awesome though. It's really amazing for ambient stuff and crazy noises. Not the greatest standalone delay ever though.

Yea, I figured it wasnt the best stand alone, but I have a Freakshow Digilog that I love for analog delays, and I also have an MXR which I'm not currently using, but I am digging the SMMH more than a DD-7 or Flashback/alter ego atm.

Not only it can do the best reverse i've been able to own, but also the reverse mode can do a VERY deep ambient reverb :)

plus there is a lot of other shenanigans like... extreme settings on flangered mod delay that sound like aliens

buy it, it's pretty cool... i kinda miss it

I'm in no rush I'm gonna shop around for a good price on one second hand but it's gonna be my next pedal I believe.

I want my old one back if that says anything. But I think it's a tie between it and my Headrush 2.

Agreed. The reverse function is the best and why I kept it for so long... I sold it a long time ago but I always want to get another one. Looping is fun to do on your own but not practical in a badn setting unless you're droning or into Explosions in the sky like stuff. Other delay modes are pretty awesome as well. I highly recommend it.

I dig mine for sure. The reverse stuff is awesome, and I really like the filter on it. The looper's pretty great too.

I had one for quite a while and loved it, totally agree with everyone else in that it doesn't sound the best as a standalone delay but the cool functions are awesome.

have the Headrush 1, pretty great delay for rythmic delays, although it doesnt seem to work well with my big muff, but perhaps thats just my muff or the fact that its the E1 and not the E2. :wha?: :snax:
Been gassing for a SMMH for the reverse function, but $$$. :idk:

I love mine! The reverse function is sweet. It's a pedal that I don't plan on replacing. Also love that it has stereo outs, which I use for my two-amp set-up. Like others have mentioned, using loop mode could be streamlined better but it's still useful. Overall it's a great creative tool.

It's the one pedal that hasn't ever left my board. I ordered it when they first came out, and I've loved it since.

Awesome delays, awesome reverse, great for reverb, can do a convincing ring mod, decent modulation, and the looping has been indispensable.

I've literally considered having a second one for dual Hazari madness.

GET YOU ONE.

I used to own one but I ended up returning it because there seemed to be a perceived volume drop/tone loss especially in loop mode. Did anyone else experience this or am I just kinda being a dumbass?
