Uggg.  Now I have to order a Reverb brick and do this project.  I have a bunch of projects on my plate, right now.  But, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Good luck! I checked Small Bear, Pedal Parts Plus, Tayda, Mouser, and Mammoth and could only find one BTDR-2. Literally only one unit—and a "short" decay at that.
Try eBay, that's where I found mine.  The pricing is the same as Mammoth or SB and it showed up in a few days.

Man every time I see your board I have a split second freakout about those yellow axial caps. My brain instantly defaults to "those are Vactrols. Why don't I have vactrols for my board? What did I forget?!?!"

My brain is a silly thing at times.

Hah, I had forgotten to order 1uf ceramics so I had to scavenge those from a local shop which only had those two monsters.  They just barely fit but at least they look rad.

I can vouch for that, Recycle 2 will do the trick. 

Thanks everyone for the comments!  I will actually paint this once NY thaws out and I can work in my garage again.

All set!  I popped in a 3pdt and ran a wire up to the recycle pot's 2nd lug, then put the other 3pdt lug to ground.   No more signal bleed and I can mix in as much feedback goodness as I want. 

Thanks again!

Awesome, I'll give that a shot tomorrow.

So this is my first post, I snagged a pile of boards from here last spring, but I never had the time to finish any.  Fortunately I had a week off and we got three feet (FEET) of snow last night, so I made this. 

I hedged my bets and put this in a 1590XX, I'm not patient enough with offboard wiring to work that tightly in a BB.  I also moved the chaos pot outside but found that there's a ton of signal path bleed when it's turned up.  Not sure what's going on there but I'm not too concerned.  I will paint this in the springtime once it's warm enough for paint to cure. 

Sounds great!  It's a perfect pedal for shoegaze.  Many thanks to Chris for an awesome project.
