So jealous. Would love to hear some clips.

[Holy Schnikes]

Fuck that's sexy! I'm am super interested in a 600D comparison, one of my favorite delays EVER! Adding mod would be fantastic!

Thoughts...

Well. Hahahahahaha... it's dark. No doubt about that! I've been close-matching my usual settings on the 600D and it's noticeably darker. It also seems to have a smoother, more compressed feeling than my 600. The way they repeat is very familiar and similar. Overall, the 616 plays through and repeats in a more "hi-fi" way, if that makes any sense. It doesn't seem to have as many lo-fi artifacts in the repeats, and they don't seem as present. The 600 feels more wide-open and dirty, like it could shit it's pants and start a fire at any minute... the 616 is a more controlled, stuff your puppy in a sack and hide it where you'll accidentally sit on it, kind of evil.

I'm not sure I'd find much use for the modulation, beyond the ultra-subtle - but full-range, crazy, transient 616 lo-fi (proper) sounds are a nice to have, I guess. I have a Maxon AD80 here as well... I'm going to jump that in the chain and see where it fares in darkness comparison.

Interesting...wonder how different from a regular 616 it is...

[DADGBD]

Wish I could tell you.

[Muse FTW]

If this had tap tempo I'd insta-buy.

[DADGBD]

If it were filled with diamonds and unicorns, I'd have THREE!!

I'm sure NOBODY CARES because it's red, but I got my 616 mkII today and I'm about to plug it in.

Fun.

Welp. The 616 mkII sounds great.

But would you dudes do me a favor? Turn your REGEN all the way up. Now turn your TIME all the way down. Now turn your guitar volume all the way up. Now turn off your pedal. Can you still hear the oscillation? I can.

I suppose I could put the 616 in a TB loop, but that's annoying. I'm sad about this.

That's no good but when would that be an issue??? Is that even a good setting??? When the Regen is down a hair does it stop??? I wanted to like this Meh-lekko but I prolly wont...

It's just distressing that there is any bleed at all. True, it's probably not a "good setting", but if you've got some good weird oscillation going, and then it's building, building, and then you quickly tap the pedal off with your foot, you're going to hear it under the silence of your guitar. Like if you're playing staccato chords or something, with silence in between... ahem. It's true, it's not going to make a huge difference, but any bleed is bad bleed.
