How It Works
Technical view
The current original-delay family does not yet implement cross-feedback or additional bloom stages. It adds one `echoOnly` feedback tap per side, with `time` setting the left and right delay lengths, `feedback` setting the comb feedback amount, and `tone` opening the damping cutoff inside each delay path. `mix` raises the echo layer over the dry stereo preview source before the shared DC-blocking, output-gain, and soft-limiting stage.

Signal Path
Compiled preview chain
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with the shared 19-sample right-channel offset before each channel receives its own simple echo-only feedback tap.

Preview source
An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with the shared 19-sample right-channel offset before each channel receives its own simple echo-only feedback tap.
Effect core
Independent left and right echo-only feedback taps added to the dry preview phrase.
Signal path
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
- internal picked-string demo phrase
- shared stereo spread with a short right-channel delay
- left echo-only feedback tap
- right echo-only feedback tap
- dry / echo sum
- DC blocker
- output gain trim
- final tanh limiter
Controls that matter
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
- mix: Crossfades or scales the current wet layer against the dry stereo preview source.
- output_gain_db: Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
- time: Sets the left and right echo delay lengths.
- feedback: Raises the feedback amount inside the echo-only delay taps.
- tone: Sets the damping cutoff inside the delay feedback paths.

Controls
Audible controls in this DSP
Crossfades or scales the current wet layer against the dry stereo preview source.
Higher settings make the processed layer more dominant relative to the dry phrase.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the underlying effect structure.
Sets the left and right echo delay lengths.
Higher settings make the repeats arrive later and feel more spacious.
Raises the feedback amount inside the echo-only delay taps.
Higher settings create more repeats and longer tails.
Sets the damping cutoff inside the delay feedback paths.
Higher settings keep the echoes brighter.
Analysis
Code-derived notes
Current implementation shares the exact same independent left/right echo architecture with Neon Melt and Ghost Rail. There is no cross-feedback or bloom reverb stage yet.
