Soundtoys EchoBoy - Manual (Page 26)

The LEDs beneath the Input and Output knobs provide visual display of the input and output
signal levels. The yellow LED indicates that the signal is 6dB below clipping. The red LED
indicates maximum signal level, and possible clipping or distortion, which may or may not sound
so good depending on the current Echo Style, and what your ears like to hear.
It’s important to note that the Input and Output level only affects the echo signal and leaves the
dry signal unchanged. This approach may be slightly different than that of some other plug-ins
and we found this implementation to work best for EchoBoy.
Mix
The Mix knob defines the mix balance of dry signal to delayed signal. At 12 o’clock the mix
balance is 50/50. As the control is increased beyond 12 o’ clock the level of dry signal is
decreased until you have just delay. If you are using EchoBoy in line you’ll likely want to use the
mix to define the balance of dry to delay. If you are using Echo Boy in a mix bus you will likely
want to set the mix to 100% wet and use the send return levels to define mix of the delayed
signal.
The Mix control provides another means of controlling the relative level of effect to dry. This
allows you to balance individual delay presets and even out possible amplitude anomalies. As
they say, add Echo and Mix to taste!
Feedback
The Feedback knob allows you to feed a variable amount of the delay back into the input to
create multiple repeating echoes. Increasing the Feedback increases the number of repeats.
Depending on the Style selected this allows you to create tape-like echoes that decay over time,
