Cross-posting my notes from Phase Alignment - #5 by jtexas here:
A workaround I’ve found is to add disabled blocks to either signal chain, which will add just enough delay to nudge the phase relationship.
I discovered this hack when I noticed that my sound got out of phase when I removed blocks. For this reason I currently have two disabled cab blocks in my 2nd signal chain.
This of course heavily limits my ability to use the device, as I can’t just add or remove blocks, without risking destroying the phase relationship.
I’ve tried gaining more control over the phase issue by using the “simple delay” block, however 7ms (+ probably the delay added by the block itself) are way too much
If better phase adjustment is added to the gain block, that would be cool.
However, this still doesn’t fix the problem of needing to adjust the phase relationship whenever you add or remove blocks.
It would therefore be great to add an in-phase mode, where the device ensures all signal paths are subject to the same amount of block-induced delay.
For now I’ve come to the conclusion that as a live unit I can only use one signal path, and will reserve the ability to use multiple amps for recordings, where the engineer can adjust the phase relationship precisely.
