Eclipse DDL dulls original guitar signal? Audio degradation.

[evennibor]

Does anyone know how to get around the fact that when I play guitar through the Eclipse, the original sound is fairly transparent EXCEPT when I play through a delay block i.e. 189 Vintage DDL. The sound is not as bright, or snappy or hairy as the original/bypassed guitar signal. Is that just the way it is with this unit? Or am I setting levels wrong? I don't have the same degradation of audio when I play through Dual Gates or Dual Comp or any other Block I have tried. It only seems to be the delays….Can some one confirm or help me with this?

Thank you.

Hi

Vintage Delay is a much requested old style digital delay algorithm, reproducing late '70s/early '80s DDLs with reduced bit quantization. This allows for a filtered sound, thanks for feedback path placed hi_and_low_cut filters. If you prefer pristine transparent sound, please use other delay algorithms. This is for the vintage analog/digital delay fan!

might be a good idea to set the mix parameters in the Levels menu (not in the Main section…in the Parameters section) to about 35% and set the send value in the delay block to 100. this will let some dry signal through so you'll retain your high end

Hey that works! Thanks so much simeon! What a relief.
