Re: [Harp-L] Re: delay for harp

Quite right Richard, I do use an RP355 with your patches and will continue to do so. For anyone who hasn't tried them, Richard has put a lot of work into these patches, they sound great, and his personal after-sales service is terrific

Sometimes though, depending on where I'm playing, I just feel like grabbing a tube amp and a bullet mic and one or two small pedals. The LW is great for this

Cheers
Mike

> "The circuit is centered around a chip that has a low noise rating at < -90dBV, low distortion, < 0.5% THD, 44k digital processing, and is capable of up to 300ms delay. The input is FET buffered for high impedance to provide proper loading for your favorite crystal or CM mic. The gain has been reduced to prevent solid state distortion and is balanced to have an overall gain of 1x so that the level is the same when bypassed. The warmth comes from the superior bass response, distortion-free performance, and the filtering, which provides the effect of a distancing echo by reducing the highs more on every repeat. This delay has an even better roll-off in high frequencies than the Boss analog delay."

Also try some of the delay models in the RP that aren't available on the Lone Wolf, e.g. the modulated delay, echoplex model, etc., etc.  Between the two devices, you've got a very wide range of delays to work with.
