What does -1 value for W/D knob mean?

Questions about producing? Ask them here.
I can hear the difference between -1 (dial knob all the way to left) and 1 (dial knob all the way to right) but would like to understand what a value of -1 means. Could it possibly be that the effect is fully applied but out of phase?

I just mean negative one
When you are at 1 the effect is fully invoked, then you can dampen effect by turning the dial anticlockwise. Lover that 0 you subtract effect
Your question made me realize that we have botched the label, It should be D/W :P
Ahh.. thanks. Now that's an interesting concept... subtracting the effect. I had to think about that one! :)
>Your question made me realize that we have botched the label, It should be D/W :P

Musikbear the label is perfect... amount of wet per unit dry. if it was D/W then at zero there should be full dry no wet, but D/W 0 would imply no dry only wet.
But you could rename the label "WET" and it would make more sense.

Nae, its not logical that All wet is in the 'dry side' imo.

If it was D|W it would make sense... W/D implies amount of wet per dry. Pulling it to -1 means negative wet for the constant amount of dry. Pulling it to 0 means no wet for constant amount of dry. Pulling it to +1 means positive wet for constant amount of dry.
If it was D/W, then pulling it to 0 should give you 0 dry 0 wet (or maybe equal dry and wet), right? 0 would mean nothing there.
The D of W/D isn't the 'dry side,' it's the denominator in the ratio of wet to dry.
Using D/W would not only be mathematically wrong, it would raise ambiguity about what 0 means.
An alternative, like I said, is replacing W/D with only WET, and 0 would mean 0 wet, 1 means 1 wet, -1 means subtracted wet. This essentially means the same thing as W/D logically but without the added confusion from the "/D".

I like WET only 👍

Interesting. Now it is starting to make sense. :P :lol:
I'm going into the negative with three different effects... Calf Vintage Delay, NastyDLAmkII (one of my favs), and Calf Reverb on SEGuitar and it's producing a clarity I don't think I could get elsewhere. Very nice feature, that negative value!
It could be removed soon.
