Re: sync-ing non-midi loopers???/Quiet switches for Headrush!



jack,
    Good Idea!  They should stay perfectly in sync.  And the switches 
inside 
the Headrush are DPDT (push/push) so you even have extra lugs on each 
switch 
to do it.  Aaaaand one wall wart is plenty, just make up a pig-tailed 
Y-plug 
for one of them.  I use this all the time.  For instance, I have had two 
Korg 
X5DR's running off one wall wart for two years now and both my Headrushes 
are 
on another, etc.  Works fine.
    I use my Headrushes differently than you suggest however.  One's 'mix 
out' goes to the other's 'input'.  That ultimately gives me a 23 second 
loop 
with many, many, many layers, if I so choose.
    Btw: I have found much quieter switches for the Headrush too, if you 
do a 
lot of vocal or acoustic instrument looping in a very quiet room where the 
click of the switches is picked up by your mic(s).  Alcoswitch Part# 
MPG-106D.  SPDT.  They are not the 'combat strength' switches the 
originals 
are however.  I remounted the original switches on mine with rubber 
washers 
and that helped soften the click sufficiently for me.

good luck,
    'hawkeye'
