I play a lot with a delay/looper).
One of the worst examples of this I've heard of was pipe organs in a very large church. The organist console sits at the opposite end of the church from the pipes, perhaps 100 feet away from some pipes, leading to extremely large delays. I read one account where low notes had a 300ms delay from pressing the pedal. Jerry
