On the DC-3 Digital Dimension pedal. I noticed that the Effect Level control doesn't really kick up much effect until it reaches about 12 o'clock. Is this normal?
I don't know about that particular effect, but some effects do have the 12 o'clock position as being zero, turning to the right for a boost and to the left for a cut in level.
The pedal is supposed to be unmistakeably brilliant in stereo, but can't try it because do not have two amps at the moment. I'll bet that in stereo, 50/50 would come in lower at about 10am.
