Haunting isn't it.

That album was brilliant. The Manchester scene stopped HOL being a big band, they suddenly become out of fashion overnight.

Yes, I once tried the DC-3 digital dimension in a store and I must say that I really liked the sound. It sounds clear but not cold and and sterile.

Thanks for the replies. I have tested it in all modes and with alle the outputs. I have recorded a soundsample in the mono mode with output A. The first part is with the depthknob on 9 o'ÃƒÂ§lock, the second part is with the depth knob on 12 o"clock and the the third part is with the depth knob on 3 o"ÃƒÂ§lock. The rate knob is at 12 all the time.

Especially when notes ring out it sounds a bit too much out of tune to me. What do you think?

Sounds the same as this demo:

I just pulled mine out. Mine doesn't sound like that, but instead it always has a very loud LFO chorus sound with high chorus feedback always sounding, even if I'm not playing anything. I think mine's broken.

Opened it up, it does have a trim pot, just one. It didn't fix my problem, I either get a good chorus sound with that loud spinning sound, or a very weak and low volume barely audible chorus sound without that spinning thing being very audible either. Or either sound with a little bit of distortion in some trim pot positions.

You might get something else out of the trim pot maybe.

I do remember preferring mode I output B for mono back in the day. Output A in mode I sounds o.k. by itself too, but in mode II I think it's just the effected sound without the direct sound mixed in, thus unusable in mono.

I think that's the way the Jazz Chorus amps make the chorus, in stereo it sounds fine.Or maybe that was the vibrato on the JC-120, I don't remember, but I knew someone who had one.

Both modes on the CE-3 can be used in stereo I believe, mode I just does some kind of phase reversal.
