Zeller 4 Posted September 23, 2014 I am using an hd500 into a Crate Powerblock for guitar and vocals, I was thinking about adding a pedal or two using the integrated fx loop and then I thought:The added D/A/D conversions will double the latency, will it be noticeable?What's the precise latency value?

BlueViolince 44 Posted September 23, 2014 Negligible. I notice more latency from my whammy 5 in the effects loop then from the effects loop itself. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeller 4 Posted September 23, 2014 thanks for the reply!I can't find the hd500 latency in ms nowhere, someone ever made measurements? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueViolince 44 Posted September 23, 2014 Are you using it as a recording interface? I use mine with the USB plugged into ableton live in addition to my fx loop, & I hardly noticed any latency whatsoever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeller 4 Posted September 25, 2014 yes, sometimes, but I'm more concerned about live performances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digital_Igloo 1,107 Posted September 25, 2014 Don't have a spec handy, but it should be negligible—only the latency of D/A/D conversion, which should be less than a millisecond. Sub-1.5 ms for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueViolince 44 Posted September 29, 2014 I only use my fx loop and ableton when playing live. No need for it in the studio. Again, no noticeable latency. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
