Title: OTS and a Xotic X-Blender?
Post by: archelo on March 19, 2012, 12:33:32 AM
Has anyone tried to use an Xotic X-Blender in the passive loop of an OTS? Will it work as a loop buffer like the Klein, Verbrator, etc? Im curious to hear some feedback on the possibility that this unit may work well in this capacity. Thanks!

No it will not work the same as a Dumbleator type device (like the klein,Verberator Quinn-Q-loop, Bludotone Loop-A-Lator, Glaswerks Matchbox)

 It only lets you mix in time based effects in Parallel as apposed to the regular serial operation of the OTS's passive loop.

It doesn't contain a buffer to match impedance levels lost by using line level time based effects in a passive loop.

 You still need a Dumbleator if you're going to use the X-Blender.

 It will let you mix in effects but much the signal will be lost in the process without some kind of buffer (Dumbleator).
