I can say in my case the mod did add a strange sounding click artifact during the repeats. If you are using it in a live situation it wouldn't be noticeable, but it definitely was during a recording session.
I just adjusted the trimpots inside. Now the delay time is longer. But at long settings there is a high pitched noise. Maybe clocknoise? How do I get rid of that?
Yeah it almost sounds like aliasing! In my experience you can't get rid of it, other than by adjusting the trim pot clockwise slightly until it goes away. But this will also shorten your max delay time. I guess you just have to find a happy medium :)
Yep, like Patient Hands said, the only way to get rid of it is to dial it back. I think this comes from stressing some other component of the circuit, that it wasn't originally tuned for; making it really tricky to find the actual source. This circuit could do the longer delay without any frequency issues, but that would require a little more work & time that Behringer didn't figure into their profit scheme. They're on that tight of margins to sell these pedals as cheaply as they do.
Like after you spent all day creating a thriving village of 900 then an invading modern army of ten thousand wipes you out down to six then the Lions and Hyenas wipe you out into extinction.. I hated that game because of that.🤣
I'm a working audio engineer in NYC; my ears are tuned up fairly well. There is absolutely zero sonic difference, outside of typical micro-phonic changes from hand positioning, between these two examples. If you understood the mechanics of what he's doing with the mod, you would understand that he's not changing any component that could change the tone significantly. You're presenting audio-bias, it's all in your head; you're hearing what you want to hear. I also have to point out; "ruined" is a fairly harsh term considering you were phonetically hallucinating the degradation in the first place. Edit: So I came back a month later after somebody liked the comment, & I wanted to listen to it again for reference. This time, the audio @2:13 & 2:32 actually sounded BETTER to me, lmao, & that's because of my own personal bias from disagreeing with, & then investing in an argument against the OP. That's how audio-bias works; just like regular bias, but we rarely recognize it. For the record, there is still absolutely no difference in the tone; I stand by my original assessment. -Cheers
@@JeighNeither Ii's weird that you cannot hear the deterioration in the sound. I heard it easily without even looking at the video. There's a really clear and audible aliasing-like sound in the top end when using longer delay times. It reminds me of the aliasing the Memory Boy has, and it's really audible on the last repetitions. I think it's voltage related. The guy from JHS talked about it in a Memory Man video. From a working sound engineer also.
