Effects Chain: Timefactor before Space or Space before Timefactor?

[guyskankrye]

Right now I'm using my Space AFTER my Timefactor in my chain and it seems that the "Shimmer" effect eats up my stereo delays before it hits my amps.  I haven't tried putting the Space before my Timefactor but I'm thinking this may fix my problem.  Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi guyskankrye,

I would keep the same order, and just turn the wet/dry mix on Shimmer to have more "dry" signal so the delays sound out on top of the shimmer reverb effect.   You should also try turning the mids down on Shimmer (contour knob).

On the Space I have the mix set at about 35.  Should I go lower?

It's certainly worth a try, especially on the input of a guitar amp, which tends to squash dynamic range.
