Picked one of these up today, any tips?
The "auto flange" setting seems a lot more subtle than I expected, am I missing something? Do I need to run it in stereo for the flange magic?
Prompted a gig-board revamp:
Bottom three pedals usually run in an fx loop but, thanks to the Bright Onion gadget (top right), here they're all running straight into the front of a tweed amp for testing...sounds awesome!
I was running a Secret Preamp for loop boost...it was actually very effective but a bit coarse.
I was using the Keeley '30ms' for a slapback effect...that's now employed for reverb
What does the Deco give me?
What do you reckon?
There are similarities: both are fairly gentle, not dark, and tend to make whatever you put into them sound better.
Deco will start to limit more if you wind up the Saturation.
I occasionally mention it from time to time (lol) but I'm a big White Stripes fan, I feel like putting the Saturation side of the Deco/ADT at the end of my guitar signal path should be good at simulating the kind of saturated recorded sound of say the Elephant and White Blood Cells albums type tones where they were recorded pretty hot directly to actual reel to reel tape, so the actual gain of the amp itself isn't that high but there's that crunch and compression to the overall sound. Am I barking up the right tree?

Danny mentioned a secondary filtering function?
Is the saturation thing using diodes or transistors?
Should I just buy one?
The left hand side does tape saturation - it's somewhere between a preamp, a compressor, and if you turn the saturation up, it does a lovely overdrive. If I could, I'd have the left hand side in a box on its own.
The right hand side is another tape emulator, but this time it does tape chorus / tape flange / slapback / tape echo, and some sounds in between those like double tracking and vibrato.
You can run the two sides into a single amp in mono or into separate amps in stereo.
