I've seen that thread but it doesn't say how it runs through though.I wish they had one of those scans for Roope's set up too!

Yes, you're right. I remember now that my tech who fixed my gp1000 told me this aswell.

What was the solution to the problem? I remember it had a lot of buzz/noise.

Well, if you use some common sense and google, you can easily figure it out.
Wireless has 1 output
GP1000 has 1 input and 2 outputs
One output of the GP1000 goes to the RSP2400. Overdrive/Distortion/EQ/whatever always goes in front of effects (but alexi doesn't use FX).
The intellifex splits the signal into a stereo (double) signal that goes into the poweramp. Then a double speakercable goes to the cabinet into this.

Roope's rack is the same thing, only instead of the intellifex a Alesis Quadraverb.

I've asked a couple times before, but my post always goes ignored... probably because no one DOES know... BUT does anyone know of anyone who has, knows, or can translate that scan? I'm really interested what they say about Roope's setup.

Sorry I don't speak Japanese. Japanese friends anyone?

[Stonecoldsoul07]

I didn't mean the Japanese scan I meant the american illustrated scan like on the previous page.
The alesis pisses me off because there isn't a channel/program that doesn't have effects so if you wanted to split to stereo you would have to use chorus or reverb.

Well, there is a button called "bypass". You can try that.

Alright, what happens if there are some lose contacts in your guitar/amplifier. You can solve that very easily, you know. But you want to spend 400$ on a unit, and when you start playing that noise is still there.

But anyway, lets get ontopic.

Haha dude. I can't fucking explain their time vector processing shit. I don't give a fuck how it works as long as it does work.

Screwed up contacts/cold solder joints/something fucked are a different issue then some white noise that's coming out of your high gain amp.

I like that kind of mentality.

[Stonecoldsoul07]

What are the differences and similarities between the mm-04 and je-1000.which switch is which on both?
do they sound exactly the same?

[ShadowchildCOBHC]

id test it if i had the JE1000 cause i only have the MM-04

[Stonecoldsoul07]

I have a je-1000 but not an mm-04.
I think on the je-1000 switch 1 is high,2=mid,3=low.The trim gain pot added a bit more bass.

how does it work on the mm-04?

[ShadowchildCOBHC]

well theres a instruction manual on ESPs japan website on what frequencys to help you out but i used alexis recommended settings,but im sorta in a daze cause ive tried to gain pot and put it to full and i cant really hear the difference but does the gain pots difference work only when the amp is at high volume levels,but back to your question stonecold the MM-04 has 4 switch pots and one gain pot or level pot,

here it is,

The MM-04 and the JE1000 are 100% the same. The mm04 has 4 switches, but the fourth one doesn't have a function.

The dipswitches dont work how you are saying. The dipswitches control the low-pass filter. A low pass filter means that frequencies above a certain frequency don't pass.
If you want some more detailed info about this, then ask.

Some people may have noticed that the unit still affects the sound when the gain switch is off. That's because the JE1000 is not a "true-bypass" unit.

Gain pot
II
II
O <- switch
II
II
V
signal -> ==EQ=========(BJT)=== > signal output.

Imagine, the signal is always going in and out the JE1000. If you disable the gain, your signal will still go through your EQ and BJT. And thats why a JE1000 always effects the sound.

[Stonecoldsoul07]

Thanks for that.
Does the je-1000 switch 1,2,3 work in the same order as the MM-04's 2,3,4, or is it reverse,4,3,2?

The spring thing is Roope's Idea so there will be less tension when you push/pull the whammy bar or something like that.

maybe someday should try it

[GuitariSteve]

I tried. I doesn't change anything to me. Maybe the other strings are less detuned while you bend a string but I don't think so.

[<-Warheart->]

I tried it too, makes no difference at all.

[dave100]

Someone from the JCF owns this i think, i was browsing and out came this pic. Best picture i have seen showing the green pins. (Was never Alexi's)

Its awesome,although I think Alexi's guitars pins were darker.
