A-188-1D : A bit too noisy

5 years ago

This Doepfer BBD is a really nice unit.

I do both experimental and tonal music. In the first case it is a nice addition to any modular setup but if you are looking for a quiet delay this is not for you especially with standard music. You need a dedicated LPF to eliminate the clock noise at certain delay clock range. Yes it is normal but I find this unit noisier then average. Like all BBD if the LPF is pushed too far you will loose the high frequencies of the delay taps so the balance must be carefully set. I find best results with the Doepfer "Wasp" filter A-124. You can use it as part of the modular setup or as an outboard effects for your mixer
