Maker: Disaster Area

Model: micro.clock Tap Tempo Controller

Condition: New

 

Description:

The Disaster Area micro.clock is an intelligent tap tempo and clock source for your pedalboard.  Synchronize two tap-tempo compatible pedals plus control one additional device with tap tempo, MIDI, or control voltage.

The micro.clock leverages our advanced SMARTClock technology in a tiny package – just 3.6″ x 1.5″ x 1.6″ (93 x 38 x 42mm.)

Tap the footswitch to set the master clock tempo.  The micro.clock will then send taps to your devices to lock them in to your music.

Selectable subdivisions let you tap in quarter-notes and set your devices to dotted-eighths, eight-notes, or triplets!

Tap the knob to view or change the subdivisions or output settings for each output, then hold the knob to save the current settings to a preset.

Hold the footswitch down to advance to the next preset.  You can even set the number of accessible presets so that you only use what you need.

Each tempo preset allows you to specify a tempo in BPM or milliseconds, as well as subdivisions or toggle settings for each of the three outputs.  You can also set the micro.clock to send a MIDI Program Change to an external MIDI device.

Have a pedal that needs an odd or unusual configuration for tempo control?  The micro.clock works with devices that accept a normally-open or normally-closed footswitch, and can even send 0-3.3V control voltage that works with pedals with expression control of delay / tempo.  Check with your pedal builder for details on their expression options!

Compatibility – Tap Outputs

The SMARTClock Gen3 is compatible with virtually every pedal or effects unit equipped with a remote tap tempo input jack.  In toggle mode, the SMARTClock outputs can work as a “fixed expression” control with many devices.  Please note that some devices may require the use of a TRS / stereo cable or to have the SMARTClock’s pull-up resistors enabled for certain functions.

        Couldn't get the zipper button open!
        Special Size: Midweight, Size: 38W x 30L, Color: Dark Midnight Wash
        Returned. They are probably a good product but I have arthritis in my thumbs and it was excruciating to try to undo the button above the fly. I seemed like like the button hole was too small. Maybe a gorilla finished final assembly?

        Suprisingly great jeans.
        Special Size: Midweight, Size: 29W x 32L, Color: Grey Wash
        Love the fit and style of these. The waste is abnormally small, I purchased a 29 but also 30 would have been better. The rest of the fit is great, color is great, good mix between stretchy and stiff.

        Too baggy! (UPDATE): Bought this style of jeans again and they fit great!
        Size: 31W x 30L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
        These jeans are too baggy for my liking. Edit: I purchased more jeans of this style recently again and for some reason they fit a lot better to my liking than before when I first left the initial review for this. I have updated my review from 3 stars to 4 stars now. I purchased the black, grey, dark wash and tinted medium blue, and all 4 had a good fit on me. My original review stated that it was too baggy but the 4 jeans I just bought had a fitted look which is what i prefer, not too baggy and not to slim/skinny. I want to point out that the fit varies from the color choices. For example, the black, grey and dark wash jeans, i went with a size 32x30 because 31x30 for those colors were too tight/slim on me and for the tinted medium blue, i downsize to 31x30 because 32x30 for this color is too baggy. So buy the size you usually wear and if it's too slim or baggy then send it back and size up or down. Buying jeans on Amazon, i feel that you will have to buy a few different sizes and see which one fits you the best and then go from there. Edit (3/7/26): sizing is very inconsistent. So my previous edit above stated that the jeans I recently purchased fit great on me, and that's true, so I decided to buy another jean, same color and same size, this time the jean fit way too small/tight. I feel like amazon needs to do better quality control on these jeans. How does 2 pairs of the same jeans/color/size have such an inconsistent in size/fitting to it!

        Great fitting jeans just as nice as any name brand you can buy !
        Size: 34W x 28L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
        So I have been on a weight loss journey and the Amazon jeans have been my go to. For one to me they are just as nice as any of the name brands. They fit well are comfortable and honestly they are all I have purchased for a few years now. I’m also super short and this is one of the few brands I can find in a 29 length and that also saves me money since I don’t have to take them to a tailor to be modified. Material is nice to the touch nice thickness and has all the pockets you would expect in a blue jeans. Again great value for the money and this is about my 5th pair of these in various colors. I highly recommend give them a try and you will be hooked !
