QuoteThe good thing about digital effects is that the clock is often a very high frequency such that sum and difference are often well out of hearing range.

I wonder if it would drive a dog crazy, though. Or if it would clear out all of the insects in the general vicinity?  :icon_mrgreen:

I like the idea of eq shaping each delay differently. It's funny, but it seems like everyone here has thought about this, but nobody has actually done it. I would of thought that at least one person would have said, yea, "I do something like that, and this is how I do it." I guess that everybody who has thought about has also had the same thought I'm having now which is "maybe this is more trouble than its worth."

Anyways...great ideas...thanks.

I thik the reason why lots have thought about it but not done it is because that sort of nuance is generally lost on the beer-cup-in-hand crowd.  I'm not dissing them, just making note of the reality that the subtleties may simply be inaudible in the average club gig.  And as for the recording studio, I think most would prefer the nuance that true overdubs provides, and that modern recording technology makes so damn easy.

I'm not pooh-poohing your idea, just explaining why you can't simply walk into a place and buy one of these imaginary beasts right now despite a universe of other gadgets.  On the other hand, maybe someof our friends here who are more acquainted with the digital side have a word to say about that assumption on my part.  E.g., what about these assorted TC and Eventide floor pedals, or the various Digitech harmonizers?
