Hey guys,
last spring I bought a Joyo "Nascar" analog "bucket brigade" delay pedal.
I thought it sounded really nice from day 1.
But after a while, I started to notice that the first (or first two!) repeats were really "distorted" sounding, much more so, than the rest of the echoes...
This is regardless of how much input goes into it, what the "mix" is set to, or delay time.
It once "spun out of control" into feedback while I was messing with the knobs.
I wonder if my pedal is damaged/defective, or that I've just not noticed it's inherent sound until recently.
(I know analog delays are preferred by many (including me) for their "lo-fi" type of sound).
I apologize if my words are hard to understand / hard to understand what I'm asking about...
"Will/can an analog delay pedal fail in such a way, that only the first one (or two) repeats sound very distorted?"
The rest of the "echoes" sound nice, a bit "lo-fi", as expected.
It's of course, easiest to hear with a very clean tone.
The shop I bought it from, said I could return it for a new one. But if this is how it's supposed to sound (and has been sounding all the time),
I'll rest my case .
thanks,
