Does anybody find that this knob makes a hearable difference? I see in measurement that it adds distortion, but it's very difficult to hear at all in music signals. I played also with higher input of course.
I would like to have more range that it actually does something to the signal that matters.

that the saturation works in conjunction w/ the input gain ...

Yes it does. As said before I tried it also with higher iinput gain.

Also don't forget that it's a delay, so tonal changes will reveal themselves over time with longer tails. You'll find that once you let the delay breathe a little and give it time, the variations between the colours or between no saturation and lots of saturation will become very clear.

Ah that's possible. Good hint. I indeed used mostly very short delay times on dense material most of the time. A bit more extreme setting would be cool nevertheless.The unshushable Coktor wrote: Sun Mar 03, 2019 9:42 pm Also don't forget that it's a delay, so tonal changes will reveal themselves over time with longer tails.

This is one of my favorite aspects of Colour Copy. Let the tails ring! The degradation can get extreme...and that's a good thing to me

After using it like this it works quite nice. I missunderstood what saturation does on ColorCopy. It is just in the feedback path. The used color also makes a big difference how the distortion sounds.The unshushable Coktor wrote: Sun Mar 03, 2019 9:42 pm Also don't forget that it's a delay, so tonal changes will reveal themselves over time with longer tails.

My wish to have a bit more extreme knob settings to get faster to high saturation remains. But now I think of it more as a nice to have than an essential wish.
