The best answer.

I like to keep my goodbye24 right after most of my dirt and my ct5 near the end of my chain. Put mode 1 (which is what the gb24 is) through my modulation and then I can put the chaos through the ct5.

The patchulator is the bridge to transcend the signal chain that ties you down. :zen:

Any tricks to taming mode 1? I've been using mode 3 a ton for shifting loops in between songs and behind single note parts, but haven't been able to make mode 1 work for me

I like to think of mode 1 first and foremost as a delay. It's easier to dial in with the pitch at unison, which gives a fairly predictable delay/reverse delay depending on which direction the knob is set.

The feedback knob is where things get tricky. If the pitch is set anywhere other than unison the buffer length (delay time) will get progressively shorter or longer until those repeats fade away entirely. At higher feedback settings, I like keeping the delay lower and vice versa.

When in doubt, bring the mix back a little bit to keep your dry signal in focus.
Everything makes sense when you look at it from another way.

I use mine as a 3-head looper (mode 3) late in my chain almost exclusively. my sets rely a lot on looping and loop manipulation so that works for me.
