The only thing I'll say with the blue knobber is that we did have some calibration bumpiness in the early days of the Tonal Recall blue knob release. We really got it down now so if you played a blue knob version now it'd probably be pretty different than your first blue knob experience.01010111 wrote:I had the blue one and sold it. The repeats on the original were way too quiet, and they all but disappeared when you hit it with some fuzz. The repeats on this one are much stronger. I can even do those cheesy, Floydian riffs with this now.
The other big thing it fixed for me was the feedback. It's a TON more useful now. The feedback doesn't get chirpy as easily, and it doesn't fade away as quickly. If you want to play around in the near-run-away feedback territory it behaves really nicely now. Can do some really fun swells and pads with it if you want to. The only delay I've had with smoother and more controllable feedback was the Malekko Ekko 600D.
Overall this is probably the best delay for my needs. It sounds beautiful, and it can give you oversaturated, lo-fi goodness if that's what you want. It's really hi-fi, but not quite as clear as my DMMTT550. It definitely has the best feature set of any delay I've had too. I'm really glad Joel fixed the delay levels and feedback, because I really liked this thing before but couldn't live with how weird the mix and regen knobs were.
That all said, I prefer the red knob for many of the reasons you mention and as of right now is my favorite Chase Bliss pedal and I'm very proud of it.
