Xotic blender and send/return needs

[eligit]

sorry i can't recommend anything....except to say that i think the xblender really comes into it's own with digital ambient effects.

do you really need to use it with distortion? having a "half distortion half clean" sound is kind of odd sounding.

the critical things seems to be digital effects like delay and reverb....which in many cases can be put into the SAME loop.

I agree with you that the digital conversions is the main problem, but (I play Jazz) also blending the clean sound with a very little bit of distortion is nice. Or (more experimental) blending the clean sound with a 10% of hard distortion can create some exciting sound.
Thanks

I agree on the x-blender for delays, chorus ...maybe flange with real time control .
For dist ...What about the Voodoo Labs sparkle drive for you ?.. There`s an onboard blend for distortion and clean
