So I've always had trouble getting delays to sound right in my chain...yeah when i would stop playing you'd hear the trails, but was always amazed at how delays sound with other guys patches/rigs and could never dial it in right. I'm sure my reverb approach is in a similar rut, i dont use a ton, but now want to explore it...
BUT FIRST....
Let me ask if i'm dong it "right". I know, I know....its personal taste, but like I said, i've been unhappy with my delays so far, they have been serviceable, but not mind blowing like everyone elses.
So, I've read that if I put my delay on a parallel line. For instance, my signal is always set up on line 2 of the 'grid'. I occasionally run a dual amp above to line 1, and run dual cabs added to line 3. so I thought I would try moving my delay down to line 3 and insert a blank shunt on line 2...i adjusted the amp level to compensate for the additional volume. I also added some diffusion, 14% to the delay, and it really did seem to add some perceived reverb to the tails. Anyway, now the breakthrough, I decided on a whim to try running the mix at 100% and adjusting the level down to where i wanted it to sit....wow....it seemed to have the tails and allowed original signal to breathe much better.
Am i doing that right as per the 'norm'?
