hello dirk,

well, i'm not sure, but after reading your answer
i think some of this could be normal behaviour.
the dry/wet control is a linear crossfade and not
an "equal power" crossfade, so you have a level drop
at the center position, this is normal. the bbd output
is not of the same loudness than the input signal
(or dry signal), but that is also normal. almost all
modules alter the loudness in some ways.
thats why i suggested that you compare the level of
your bbd module with the output of a filter (which
usually alters the signal loudness too).

strange is that the lowest level on your bbd
is not when the mix knob is in center position,
and that the output is inverted.

dieter, maybe you can chime in and help us

best wishes

ingo
