Who was after a TC D-Two?

Gassage

I know of one for £100 or so.

...although @Cirrus never did give his dissenting opinion

I presume this is it, from an older thread, with @Gassage's response:

I really like it as a studio delay but I had trouble integrating it into my rack rig when I had one for a while. Just couldn't seem to get the relative dry/ wet levels right and it seemed a bit flat. No doubt I was doing something wrong.

I know- the 2290 needs really setting up properly and the D2 is the same- there's individual vol levels for direct, delay, panning delay, ducking delay and you need to set each one spot on.

Ha, don't even remember that older post of mine!

Yeah, I mean, it's a while now since I had one. I remember it wasn't just a question of getting the settings right, there was something in the sound of the unit that bored me as part of a guitar rig - the repeats sounded flat, 2 dimensional, and that's what I guess I meant by relative wet/dry levels - with something like a EH analogue delay, or even a digital delay I liked like the DD-20, TC Nova Repeater, Line 6 Echo Pro from my rack days, you could have subtle repeats or loud repeats and they did what you wanted of them. With the D-two quiet repeats just vanished and loud repeats were a washout.

I concede that I didn't look into impedance related issues - though my signal was buffered, perhaps there was some issue of the input or output loading that didn't work in my setup, though as I say when I replaced it with an Echo Pro there was no issue.

It's a feel thing, maaaaaaaan. You squares just wouldn't understand.

As a studio delay for vocals, general mix duties, it was fine. But in a guitar rig I guess for my personal taste I want something more coloured/juicy.

Not quite an actual LOL, but definitely an amused snort.
