Ideally I believe they should be in parallel not series. Not sure how the Zoom handles this. Tried programming a POD XT and the delays were clearly in series and it sounded too much !
You need to dial the echos down a bit to get decent results due to the way the delays are added together at the output. I discussed this with Charlie Hall a few years back and we agreed on this.
I have the G3x. I realised that when using several delays to try and get a multi-tap -- the full direct and echo from the earlier delay is fed to the following. This prevents the configuration of a full multi tap.
I did email Zoom on this as I felt it a real shortcoming. No answer.
I have set up effects which are ok and others have commented favourably on the sound. I suppose some would note that the delays are not Quite!! as it were,
It's a pity really as sorting this - I feel - would put the icing on the cake.
