Title: Zero Point Super Deluxe _ ZPSDX
Post by: destro on July 16, 2013, 04:00:00 PM
Hey folks. Cobbling this sucker together. It's up and running, but I am not sure if it sounds *right.* I know it simulates analog delat sound, but I am wondering if it is supposed to get as distorted on the 3rd or 4th repeat as mine does. Hopefully others who have built it can comment. Here is a sound clip for reference! I recorder 4 strums per mode. It is guitar into firewire solo device. Please chime in!!

What kind of pickups are you using? I haven't build my SPSDX yet, but I get distorted repeats like that on other PT2399 delays with high output pickups.

Well, i kind of thought of that. It's a Fender Toronado with original humbucker, which is pretty hot, and a p90 in the neck. Tried with both pickups, even lowered pickup volume and blasted output volume with same issue. I am wondering what will happen if I put a pedal in front of it.

Nope, that didn't help. Even if I play softly the last repeats get crackly....guess I should mention that I modded the feedback resistor r41 to 27k, but I did switch it back with same results.
