This is from memory, so this might be kind of vague, but...
I keep the feedback or number of repeats very low (<10%); damping <10%; and I set the delay time to 1:1 (input-to-output). You can vary this by up to ~5:1 or 1:5 as I recall, but only the 1:1 sounds good to me. You can also set the delay time in terms of in msec instead of the relative ratio. I think you might want to go ~250-300 msec here. OR - just set the delay time on the tap temp button.
That's the best I can do without the unit and manual in from of me right now. Just keep tweaking - it's a great unit!

I'm getting ready to put a stereo rig together Steve. I intend to make that piece part of it, so I'm gonna have to figure out how to work it.
I don't find the manual to be very helpful. I think it's one of those manuals written in Japanese then translated to English. I find those and manuals printed in England (believe it or not) to be very hard to use.
I had a Spirit mixer a while back (English product), that manual and the one for my old MGB-GT are really hard to understand. Makes one wonder if they really speak English.
Regards,
HH

Thanks for your input guys ... I agree with Harry about the manual. It was written in engineer speak and the design targeted for recording studio engineers.
I've spoken with Lexicon support about how a video tutorial would be such a great help.
The reality being as it is, however, it is difficult to understand and use without a computer engineering background.
My problem has been that I use it as a
4-band parametric EQ and reverb, which takes up alot of interpolation space. When I try to add a "delay" also, it will not load the program for lack of space by displaying an "Error" message. I guess I need a separate
rackmount equalizer.
I'll try your settings Steve and will write down some of mine when I get a chance.
Thank-you!

Hi Everyone,
The lexicon is a great unit and it is painful to see one not being utilized. I have a great program if you have midi capability to see all the parameters on the screen at once and the setup of the program makes the layout of the unit easier to understand. The program is shareware and all are welcome to it.
Let me know.
