Re: evolver delay

2003-08-27 by sirsimonjames

hi and thanks for your reply. Yes you are probably right, a stand 
alone delay unit would do the job better. And yesI did buy a synth 
and not a delay unit, but it was a synth that was sold partly on the 
quality of the feedback that it could create thats why I was 
wondering why the feedback from the delay fizzes out if pushed.

Anyway I'm still more than happy with the little blue box, it makes 
some amazing sounds.
