Memory Boy Volume Boost?

Post by Bassboar »

This is a problem that has been plaguing me for months.
When I engage my Memory Boy and my Behemoth II, I get an explosive volume jump.
It only happens when I use the Behemoth.
What in the hell is going on here?

Dunno but the deluxe I currently have does the same thing. The first one I bought didn't have the issue. I now turn the gain down and it's fine.

There could be a trimpot for volume inside that could be slightly boosting the signal which is accentuated by the extra gain. But I wouldn't go poking around with the trimpots unless you know which is which. So perhaps see if there is some info on that out there. I think there is because I remember adjusting the trimpots on mine when I had one and I researched it.

Or you could just put it before the Behemoth and it will sound cooler anyways ;)

I believe this is a common "problem" with analog delays. I wrote it in quotes because it's one thing I like about the analog delays I've had.
