All user reviews for the Rocktron Patch Mate

Not much to say than the previous notice, except:
- There is an alternative: rjm effect gizmo that has a buffer, but no stereo loops or hush panel. the switchblade that can change the order of loops, but a bit expensive (to be taken with humor) and the MXS-8 technology buzz, so confidential that I have not really managed to get info.
- I have two and I have not mentioned the hum with the hush (mine are powered by a powerstation with rocktron stabilized and isolated outputs)
- Downside: the phantom power to the pedals have to buy a midi pin 7. Apart from the rocktron, available only 9m to 30 euros from our Teutonic friends, no alternative.
- Over time, the encoders (especially to select the parameter value, right) take a game and therefore it affects the accuracy (that being said ... it is mainly used for titles and setting the hush, not often ...). ditto for the switchers, which can penetrate (welded perpendicular to the chassis). a shot clip was enough to solve the problem. Point to watch as part of an occasion.
- For those coming in to dig up a sound, it's a great value.

I am very surprised that no one post an opinion on this stuff. When you know how it is taken guitarists ... Then I glue myself because he deserves at least one good review!

it begins with a description!

there is a patch (looper) / switcher. engros is a device that makes it possible to true bypass effects, preamp, etc. ... and then manage the switch type open / closed.
availing oneself of it 9 loops / switches with in / send / return / out o "send" and "out" switch can be used. that the loops are not link allows the linker in order that we DSIR, however once that is done the order is fixed.
availing oneself of it more a "dixime loop" with just an in / out and do this loop is that hush intgr activate the machine.
Everything is programmable and controllable noon (not need a super programmable pedalboard all programs are grs even by the machine), even the hush of rgalge is programmable! which means that on a preset I hush my treshol with a 45, for example, on February 1 preset treshold 53, and three preset not hush.
128 programs each DIFFERENT s owner name (displayed on the screen in front).
noon of January 16 channels
Brief but very simple cient!

conection level (out of loops and hush):
MIDI IN (5 or 7 pins) / out / thru
9V 1A AC power in (you need a power supply for Rocktron or line6 pod)
fantom power: in fact is connected between a power supply on this, it does not feed patchmate but the juice passes through the 7 pin midi cable to power a pdalier noon by example (the all-access to Rocktron can bnficier example)

one defect signal when the hush is fitting (pressed or not) he tends to add a hum on the overdrive channel of my roadster, just switch it to adjust and that's all good is no longer heard.

outside the hush, the device does not generate unwanted noise, no latency between two presets, a slight change qd plop you do not play (but we mean more if it's right in the game)

size is something specific on: all loops and hush may also be useful in either mono or stereo !!!!! my knowledge this is the only product on the market of this type that allows (domage no longer manufactured and its successor has no hush and operates in mono ...). brief this rack can be used for config stereos rack without sacrificing loop unlike other competing products.

in my case I used Pramper choose either of my head is a Triax, then I swing or not in my multi purpose, and I Rebalance everything has to finish in the hush in the power of my Days head.
ej loops for other uses as switches, it allows me to control all options of my roadster.

we ended up questionaire:

I have used it for three months
Do I prefer: the possibility to switch to stereo one day, the hush programmable
I like it: the hum because the hush (-1 if only because it is well hum disappears RULES)
-I have on my board a PDAL axess Grx4 electronics, quality sound at all like it: transparent!
-If we consider that the equivalent at the competitors returned to direct at least 700 Used (GCX / GCP), as it must in voodoolab pdalier programmable, I pay my patchmate 300, the report price is unbeatable quality. In addition to the race condition, it has a `hush, and the loops are Stros There are 9 against 8 or less among all others!
-With exprrience? Frankly I was tracking it for years and every time I passed under the nose. is the product of this type the most complete! Obviously I would do this choice!

in the end I put only 9 because of the damn hum con on the hush, I could put 10 because you get make it disappear. But when we have this stuff and everything is perfect on it, the only defect raises the svrit ... and then it serves Rocktron they did that arrter not its production!
