New Strymon - Deco...slapback echo/tape saturation thing

[amorphous]

yes. run it stereo all the time....

wide stereo puts deck A (ref deck) out one side and deck b (flange->delay) out the other side.

I personally don't use that setting, I use their 'standard' stereo signal path as I find it sounds better for my guitar rig. I do use the stereo in from my Pi-phase as well...

I was using it in a COMPLETE stereo signal path and noticed some "bleed" - so I emailed Strymon and Hugo gave me a clear answer:

With the Deco, you can get low level bleed between the two channels with the Tape Saturation effect engaged, especially higher saturation settings. You can also get audio from one channel to repeat from another depending on the Sum Type and if the pedal is set to Wide-Stereo mode.

With Wide-Stereo mode OFF:
SUM and INVERT types - audio is kept discreetly stereo
BOUNCE type - RIGHT Channel of the lag deck is phase-inverted and bounced to the LEFT Channel

With Wide-Stereo mode ON:
All Sum types - With stereo input, the signal is summed to mono and sent to the Reference Deck which outputs from the LEFT OUTPUT and the Lag Deck (repeats) which outputs from the Right Output.

Cool, thanks. That mostly makes sense to me. Guess I'll just have to try one out if I can!
