Are you sure that's not just your two separate decks not being clock synced?  Even if they are the same make and model they will likely not be synced.

Only other thought is that the FOH actually boosted the delay on the vox between sets.  That happens.

^^ then probably the FOH just turned up the delay on the vox. It's possible that the effect was more subtle to the actual audience than it is if you're just listening to the standalone SBD.

From where did you grab the soundboard signal? RCAs...1/4 inch?

XLR Matrix out > rca in (ua-5)

I dunno - I think the second set is the intended effect - the first set sounds like something is wrong in the vox, kinda on the low side...
