Got my new Joyo "nascar" analog delay pedal- just a quick question-

[Erlend_G]

I only got two cables;

so i put the pedal between guitar and amp.

I seem to lose alot of the "intimacy" and tone i get, running directly guitar-amp.

I guess this is a normal thing, because the pedal got input/output buffers, and a different impedances.

But is this typical? Will it be cured, when i get another cable; and put it in the effects loop?

Pedal seems to work fine, solid built, and has a classic analog delay tone.

Thanks,
-Erl

There should be minimal difference between plugging straight into your amp and plugging a single pedal in front of an amp if the pedal is well designed. (By that I mean, has a good buffer, or is true bypass - not half-assed tone sucking bypass).

Well :/ I just "A/B" it - no pedal, or pedal between amp and guitar.

And think I could feel/hear a slight difference.

This might just be my mind playing tricks though.

But the pedal was under half the price, of a "MXR Carbon Copy"- that's said to be the best.

if you "think" you hear a difference, then i wouldnt worry about it. i have a carbon copy and i like it but i like duncans vapor trail better, i like the tone of the delays more i guess? i guess its nice to have options

how long is the second cable

if you have two 20 foot long cables it may make a difference just in that

I can hear a difference in cheaper 20 foot braided no brand cable
and the Monster or George Ls set I have
