Dan Tyack wrote: This is because the Benaldo has an all analog dry path, the reverb or delay is mixed in along with the analog dry signal. To my ears it's a huge difference over a standard reverb/delay processor, where the signal goes into the digital domain. I was using a TC Electronics Nova pedal, which has great sounding reverb and delays, but the Benaldo sounded better to my ears. I'm using a setup that's very similar to the Benaldo these days: An Earth Drive with an Earthquaker reverb/delay pedal, which has an all analog dry path like the Benaldo.
