I'm sort of mad at myself for not picking up one of these or a Crystal Dagger. :/

There are more cadaverous reverbs up on the bay.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

It goes without saying that the Kezuroukai is dead on.  The selling point is the enclosure for me.  Ironically I've spent more time with this phaser than any other just because of that.  This and the Glass Hole are my faves by far.

On my live board I'm still using a Line6 MM4.  Doesn't sound as good, but close enough and with presets I get a large amount of "close enoughs".

agree man, totally.

Have you ever built the BYOC Phase Royal? Its a really cool phaser too. They will sell just the PCB usually if you contact them. Its got a pretty unique flavor to it.

I like that one, but I don't want to have to change modules. I'd like them to all be in one enclosure.

Has anyone here built the reverb? I just got one in the mail and I'm hoping I can at least find a gutshot as there are some connections that aren't obvious to me.

I havent. Does it use a Belton brick?

Another user here has and he was working on a trace of it too. See this thread https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=32463.msg311813#msg311813

I had the same problem and Drew helped out. Pay close attention to the expression jack and momentary switch wiring.

10 pin accutronics brick. I was only able to find it on reverb.

That wiring diagram is going to be a huge help. Thanks so much. Is it the Accutronics Digi-Log BTDR-3H?

Not sure if you got all of the internal DIP switches with your kit. Mine was missing one of the ones for the expression pedal assignment. They're strange little buggers and you definitely can't just drop in normal DIP switches in their place. Fairly straight forward build otherwise.
I've gotten new boards manufactured for two different layouts. Just need to find the time to test out a few component value changes and see how they work out.
Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions along the way. I've spent many hours studying and tracing this one!  ;D

It's an easy quick build, shouldn't take more than about 15 minutes.....
