Just Another Sea Urchin

[Ettore_M]

I'm really happy to present my "FINALLY" finished build! My Sea Urchin!

I've finished this thing like 4 or 5 months now. I've played with it hours and gigged it too. What a great pedal it is! And with the pulldown resistorBut I didn't get to etch its nameplate, until yesterday! So here it is, finally finished  :

Hope you like it! Feel free to post your comments! 

P.S.: As you will see in the photos, the clear finish is like wavy. Don't know how this happened. Maybe it was the cold of February.

Cool! I wolud give a try to the copper plate too...
How much is the max delay? 450 ms?

Yes, the copper plate is kind of cool! It definitely worths a try! Firstly, I was inspired by madbean himself and some others here on the forum, but I couldn't seem to find these coloured pcbs (black, blue, red, you know what I'm talking about..). So I tried the usual ones. They do the job just fine, but they are not as good as the coloured ones. Next time I might try to etch actual copper or allumiium nameplate. 

As for the the max delay time, I really don't know. I guess the same as the other PT2399 delays (Rebote, Echo Base). I think it's something like 600 or 700 ms.

Sorry for the late reply. I think 600 ms is about right. And in my Sea Urchin, it doesn't bother me that it's a little more noisy in "bigger times". You can reduce a little the Mix knob and lose some noise.. You can avoid all this with two PT2399s for bigger times!

Thanks a lot, Corey! But really the etch was not as detailed as I really wanted it to be, because I went to a photocopy shop to get my transfers printed, as I don't have a laser printer, and they didn't print them at high quality...
