Dave, the echo heard on your Midnight demo works well I agree!
It's just that the setting you refer to ("0" + Yellow=9) seems to me to be a single tap echo pattern (according to Ecca's doc earlier in the thread). What I'm hearing in your demo doesn't seem like a single tap echo. Could be it has something to do with the Yellow pots "translation" to the Meazzi selector switch it mimics. Anyway - can you confirm your Midnight setting is a multi tap pattern, or better yet - which pattern/setting it is?

Oh and - FYI I don't have the etap kit or plan to pt, just follow with interest and curious about what your Midnight echo is ;)

I can only report my findings Erik - it's certainly the '0' setting on this machine as I described, just been playing with it again in the studio, it's a good piece of kit. :thumbup:

I think with regards to Midnight that track is subjected to heavy reverb as well as the echo used that gives it it's final character and the reverb is not any old reverb either !

Hi Ecca,

Tried to send a pm to you but it will not leave the outbox and I cannot see any way of "nudging" it. Anyone any ideas?

All the best,

Nick
