Value For Money :
Excellent
Audience:
Anyone
Back in the 1980's, devices like the Decibel Eleven Loop Expander, would be very very expensive and only a few companies made this ; Axxes, Raxxess or by icon rack builders like Pete Cornish in the UK or Bob Bradshaw in Los Angeles .
You can use the all four loops to add foot pedals under MIDI control for certain programs, the loops are shielded, isolated so that none would interact with each other except when " called" upon by the MIDI controller.
It features a Class A Buffer, can control four foot pedals or you could use one of the loops ( loop #4 ) to change channels on a non MIDI amplifier .
I have a Behringer AM100 Acoustic Modeler in loop #1, a Boss GE-7 BAND EQ in loop #2 to simulate a nylon string guitar, a EHX Ravish Sitar Simulator in loop #3 and loop #4 is empty for now.
This device let's me do Acoustic simulation with great ease, now I can do Dokken's ; Into The Fire", " Alone Again ", Ozzy / Randy Rhoads ; Can't Kill Rock n Roll", "Revelation / Mother Earth, " Dairy Of A Madman ", " Megadeth's Holy Wars / Punishment Due " ," Bon Jovi's Dead Or Alive" or Metallica's ; " Fade to Black" or "One ". My Acoustic and special stand stays home now.
With the owners manual, you can set the MIDI Device Channel and the CC Message section to receive any changes you want to make on the device to exclude or add two or three Comands from your MIDI Controller .
It works best with 12 volts at 150 mA power and you can add foot pedals in your pedalboard or rack .
The Decibel Eleven Loop Expander costs much less than a RJM Mini Effects Gizmo and is equal in both sound and quality .
