DRY/WET Fader
(continued)
Parallel Effects Loop Mode
By setting the Dry/Wet Fader at a mid-way point, the dry or thru signal
will be mixed with the effected signal. Typically a 12 o’clock position is
a good starting point.
The EFX Return Level should be adjusted so the effects processor adds
a typical effect level when the Dry/Wet Fader is in the 12 o’clock
position. Note the effects processor patch settings will also affect this
level; good noise / headroom practice must be considered when
developing patches.
In parallel mode the dry or thru signal is passed within the TCA-500C
and only the effected signal is returned by the effects processor. When
developing patches for parallel mode use, it is essential that the effects
processor is not allowed to pass an unaffected or straight through signal.
If this occurs, the true thru signal will mix with the latency delayed thru
signal and generate a modulated dry signal. This might in some
situations sound nice while setting up the patch, but in a live
performance or recording situation this often corrupts the general EQ,
messing up the natural sound of the instrument.
A well configured parallel effects loop, with a suitably configured delay
and reverb effect only being returned, enhances the natural sound of the
steel guitar and most other instruments. The T C Electronics G-Major/2
effects processor has some suitable routings with good control of both
the effect mix and effect level, for both delay and reverb. A number of
patches have been developed for this unit to be used with the
TCA-500C.
The ability to adjust the Dry/Wet Fader to control the effects level in a
live performance situation is another advantageous feature of parallel
mode.
