I have one that I use on a feedback loop using the VE, MX1, and either a camcorder or a bent video enhancer. If you can fine tune it and use the chroma/luma on the MX you can get some really nice rainbow trails out of it. I typically just mess around with the contrast, bright, and color until I get a smoother result. Pushed too far it turns into blocky mayhem pretty fast
Very cool, video. I bought one for cheap when I first started and it did not have the power supply. I wish someone smarter than me would make a diy psu. I'm glad you hit on the ridiculousness of it. Great gear overview.
Thanks for uploading these videos GHOST! I’ve recently gotten into wanting to mess around with analog vjing and your channel is definitely an inspiration! Just ordered some gear to get started and currently bidding on an iPad 2 lol. Can’t wait for more uploads!:)
Just got one of these for £9 including postage, so thanks for the video, it explained everything really well. Sadly mine didn't come with a power supply so I'm going to have to jury-rig something together to see if it works!
@@joebuddylisle Jesus, my comment was from NINE months ago! I have made a little progress. The difficult thing is generating the negative voltage, at a high enough current. Key search terms are "symmetrical power supply" and "dual power supply". There are some TPS5430 modules that look like they fit the bill.
@@joebuddylisle Hey Jo! Exact same story. Found the Equalizer quite cheap without a Power Supply. Did you guys find a solution? Would be very helpful, thank you!
thanks for this series! i enjoy watching these, bc im thinking about getting into video manipulation/ glitching and they give me a heads up en the gear; as you said, its hard to find info about this type of classic gear and its uses
Wow! What a great and informative video! Very fun as well. Definitely looking to pick one of these up now! Also subscribed to your channel! Looking forward to more fellow video glitcher!
Hello Cat full of GHOSTS, i been trying to replicate same effect using an edirol v8 but im not getting that rainbow trail in the feedback channel. COuld you help me to figure out why? when i go to feedback channel image ghstly dissapear but stays in black not a rainbow path like yours. Thanks
@@sebastianvilarino1373 nice. yes there are a lot of little things about PAL vs NTSC format that can give you different results, the video source you are using can also be a factor
this comment’s a year old so you’ve maybe found a solution by now but i believe this can be adjusted within the V4 settings by playing with vertical and horizontal locate ranges under Utility. experimenting with PinP and its options on the feedback channel could also be useful for this.
@@samuelguce happy to pass on useful info! I haven’t touched my v4 settings in a while to confirm, but if that doesn’t work then i guess the only explanation is that feedback must flow the opposite direction in Australia 🦘
@@tele_visiones that's a tough one, its kind of got to be one of the originals, because of the weird power plug and the multiple voltages that come out of the power supply.
