Published on 12/06/13 at 06:27Hello,
Above all, you should know that the looper Electro-Harmonix 45000 is the new version of the Electro-Harmonix 2880. This is the same looper, but ultra-supercharged!
So everything that has been said positive about 2880 is valid for the 45,000.
It is therefore https://fr.audiofanzine.com/delay-guitare/electro-harmonix/2880/avis/r.73996.html read before reading this review of the 45000.
The link on the manufacturer's website here: https://www.ehx.com/products/45000
Reminder of the topo and specs:
"Building on EHX's legacy looper, the 45,000 combined the familiar controls of a multi-track digital recorder with state-of-the-art features making it feasible to create complex multi-track loops Quickly and easily.
Each loop HAS oven mono tracks and one stereo mixdown track. The non-compressed 45000 records, 44.1 kHz / 16-bit CD quality audio directly to a removable SDHC card (4 to 32GB). Each card holds up to 100 individual loops Accessed with the optional Foot Controller 45000 (sold separately).
Loop speed is adjustable over a two octave range, and reverse recording and playback are aussi possible. For extra convenience, a built-in metronome to a separate Monitor Out and a Headphone Out aussi are included.
Includes a 4GB card Delivering up to 125 minutes of recording time
Import. Wav audio files from PC or Mac
Auxiliary Input mixes MP3 players with the loop output
Stereo mixdown track frees tracks for re-use
Overdub or punch in / out recording
Quantize or non-quantize (free running) modes
MIDI Clock Sync as master or slave
Most parameters are MIDI controllable user
Enables USB backup / restore with PC or MAC
Standard 9.6VDC 200mA power supply included "
WHAT'S NEW ON 45000 COMPARED TO 2880:
================================================== ===
- THAT'S IT, THEY DID IT! : You can make intro / verse / chorus / bridge / outro ... this looper becomes multi-loop (100) AND multi-track (4 + 2)! ...
"If the 45000 is playing back a loop and loop you exchange numbers, the Foot Controller Will blink the new loop number indicating indication That You ares currently playing back a different loop. 45000 The Will Change to the new number once the loop current loop HAS played icts out to end the point. " : Voila, so in short, what was missing most in 2880 was resolved verses / choruses / bridges of different duration (each a loop), it is in the pocket ... playing a verse, a foot support on one and at the end of verse chorus it goes ... -1 Is returned in verse, yet we pass -1 to bridge etc ... or live on the verse or chorus button with a midi pedal ... the top, and all whatever the length of each sequence ... 100 loops on a single SD, and SD as you want ... need to juggle CF on stage
- Change loop via MIDI pedal, very versatile and well built, PC or CC: HAPPINESS! => It goes directly to the desired the single push of a button, super powerful for the verses / chorus / bridge loop! ... (Irrespective of the duration of each of them, so)
- Always about noon, in the manual, they do not show step technique that I recommended for recording loops MIDI sync slave with Quantize, it's nice, so we had grasped the optimal way to use the my stuff ...
- A whole lot of rhythm are included in the looper (and downloadable blackjack for those who have a looper another brand, hehe!)
- SD card instead of CF card 4 32GB comes with a 4GB on my own, but probably more on your, they increase gradually as time passes
- Import / export audio files to a PC (you could do before, but had some concerns reading by 2880 imported files from the net), so: we can recover a backtrack on a kind http:// www.guitarbackingtrack.com/ without guitar and playing his guitar part over it, it's cool, it's official and it's documented: it takes 44.1kHz WAV and 16-bit.
- New MIDI sync mode: Press "EXT.CLOCK" now has three states instead of two, which should solve the few problems that some MIDI sync sometimes meet with new ways. "Full Ext Clock Mode" and "Beat Sync Ext. Clock Mode"
- Monitor out: same headphone with the same knob setting, but line level AND MONO mixed two tracks (which can be handy for getting out on a bike ...)
- Crank: we won management loops and more, but you lose REVERSE, OCTAVE and especially NEW LOOP
- The SD card slot is hotplug: one can, on stage, for example, change the SD card without turning off the machine, you just have stopped reading before (ditto 2880)
So basically, what was missing in 2880 is there, present on the 45000! ...

Rhythm loops are a free download here: https://www.ehx.com/assets/ehx-45000-drum-loops-v1.zip
SOUND QUALITY
The converters are of a quality to die for! The sound is just PERFECT! ...
With an excellent headphone, it is impossible to detect any loss of quality between the input signal and the output is to say ... It is far, far away from the quality of other loopers that I have ...
The two outputs are always separated, as in 2880, so we can put two different amps output scratch if desired (a clear Fender and Marshall saturated example) and assign four mono tracks on an amp or other ...
OVERALL OPINION
Conclusion: the arrival of multi-loop (100 loops 4 +2 chacunes tracks on an SD card), combined with the unprecedented power of midday control 45000 (as 2880, you can drive ALL midi above, all but the headphone level and the entry level pre-amps) make a machine with immense opportunities without any competition, provided the racorder an external midi pedal
PS: the worries that snow rightly in its opinion below are largely resolved with the pedal twelve o'clock
