So I'm knocking out the builds I've had parts lying around for. Yesterday a Muff, today a reverb! This uses a Rub-a-Dub board I got from gtr2 and uses the short brick version of the BTDR-2. There is still plenty of reverb on tap with the short brick, and has a very interesting modulated fluttery effect when at the extreme setting. All in all, sounds great!
I blew out the LED by accidentally forgetting to add a CLR for it. :-\ The strange thing is that I used a green diffused LED, but when it first turned on it glowed red, then orange, then not at all. Not planning well enough ahead, I had to drill for the in/out jacks pretty low and almost had to scrap the enclosure (I also found that I should be more careful center-punching these guys); lessons learned.
The inside of the lid (though a pedal built for myself) reads, "It is this space that births us into being." Significance? I heard my meditation instructor say this once, thought it sounded cool to write inside a reverb pedal. ;D

Cool. Is the using up parts why you used two strips of the single pin stuff for the IC socketing?
Might have to order a Rub-a-dub when they come in stock again.

Nah, I could never have too many single pin strip sockets! I had some DIP-8 sockets on order when I populated the board, so I used what I had.
I may order another next time Josh has them, as I'd like to build a long brick one for comparison.

Nice enclosure. The black sparkle is appropriate for a reverb.
Any chance for a clip of the short brick? ;)

Thanks guys!
nzCdog, that video hit the spot! :D
I'll see if I can get some clips up within the next couple of days. The enclosure is actually black sparkle or something like that from Mammoth.
