CPU overload on tape delay

[lauke-lux]

Experienced a unit freeze with tape delay yesterday night. Changed from sweep delay to tape delay, tweeked around a bit and then pushed up the feedback too much -> Output overload LED on and message indicating too much CPU load, unit got instable and freezed. Tried the recall button but had to power off and on the unit to be able to get control of the engine again. Could not reproduce the phenomena.

This also happened to me last night. I was using two tape delays, both with feedback on full. The unit froze and I'm worried to use this setting live now!

nb, you only have to go slightly over 100% for the delay to go into self-oscillation...i certainly wouldn't put it any higher than 110%, personally. i do think some sort of volume limiting or protection would be good to stop the delay freezing the unit.

There should be overload limiting but apparently not. I'll make sure it gets added to the next update.
