So this was something I have been meaning to get around to for a while, sooo many issues I ran into, broken wires, tight fit, ideas that flat out didn't work, but I sorted everything out on the fly and it turned out good enough. I could go back and change a few things but I'm l kind of over messing with this one.

With the order switch the LEDs change color indicating what is first in the chain (blue first red second) so I could utilize the internal modulation algorithms on the Fv-1 of the spatialist, (I like modulation before delay) they are useable but not really anything that gets me excited. The oscillation mod on a 3pdt momentary through a dual gang 50k trimmed down to 25k (a 5k or 10k would have been the way to go) controls the speed and swell of the Hydra, you really need to have 2 heads running for it to ramp up nicely , a little noisy on engagement but the release is pretty epic... cool circuits , a lot of work to put them in one enclosure like this. Probably won't do that again. Didn't really turn out how I was wanting but not bad, soooo many knobs and switches so I dubbed it the Esotera. Umm yeah I'm even over writing about it.. but it's cool I'll keep it.

Excellent, certainly a lot of fiddly stuff to get this going! Lots of tweakability there in spades.
Great looks to boot, very nice!
I think the Hydra is a super delay, dig it.

Thanks guys! [mention]cooder [/mention] at fist I wasn't digging it trying to get a normal kind of delay sound. But after playing with it a bit I like it more... I definitely prefer it with cleaner type tones.

Jesus Christ, that's tight all the way around.

Not going to lie this build was a pain, I don't think I will do something like this again unless I got build docs, a schematic, and know I like the effects

Holy crap that's off the charts inside and out.  Killer graphics and that workmanship is stellar.

Looks really good! Did you use solid-core hookup wire?

Thank you, I did.  I would have lost my mind trying to do that with stranded wire

Next build you gotta do nothing but stranded now!

Holy crap that build is nice! That wire routing is super clean, and the graphics are just downright awesome. Nice work!
