Great demo! Thank you!

[@chrislink73]

Love mine, super versatile pedal. The gesture and secondary functions make it really fun to play around with...plus it has MIDI!

[@MrHeshersNeighborhood]

Really cool demo.

[@DemosInTheDark]

thanks!

[@reynoldswrap36]

I bought one when they first came out. Loved the tones, but I felt like it had a digital latency that made it feel weird under the fingers

[@DemosInTheDark]

yeah? i didn't notice. lemme see if i can get it to do it.

[@Qwitsoender]

Did you use it into an amp, or into a pc? Did you use any other pedals with a digital dry-through, like an H9 or H90? I can believe that when stacking a few digital-dry pedals in a row, or running them into a pc or a digital modeller, all the latencies stack up, and eventually it’ll get noticeable. But running just the Chroma into an analog amp, I’ve not felt it to have any noticeable latency at all.

[@reynoldswrap36]

@@Qwitsoender Nope, straight into the pedal and then straight out to the amp. It seemed most prominent to me with the mix being 100% (which is how they recommend using it)

[@Qwitsoender]

@@reynoldswrap36I’ve not seen that recommendation and i have read the whole manual. And I haven’t experienced what you’re describing.
Maybe you were using some of the effects that have inherent latency, like the pitch shifter or the doubler.
Also, the dry signal that’s on the mix control is in phase with the non-time-based-fx, like the preamps and fuzzes, otherwise mixing in the clean with the drive would result in a hollow phase-problem sound, like a flanger or chorus that’s stuck in one place. This doesn’t happen, so the dry sound must have the same latency as the wet sound. This makes it extra weird that you say you could hear or feel more latency with the effect at full wet. I really think you were probably fixating on some of the fx that have inherent latency.

[@undercarriagetv]

Did you wind up keeping it? I heard absolutely unusable latency when he was on the pitch setting.. that may be a dealbreaker right there.

[@howdysamuel]

Was that a little dash of “Wiser Time” in there?

[@DemosInTheDark]

yeah i love that chord progression!
