Title: Drowning Reverb
Post by: selfdestroyer on October 13, 2014, 12:25:36 AM
Brian's MoodRing built to spec. This is a great sounding reverb with tons of control. I love how it can get some really cool drone noises and you can make it oscillate pretty easily if needed. From subtle to drenched, this verb is great.

Reverse etch on a 125B enclosure and painted metallic blue. Pretty straight forward build.

"Pretty straight forward build" for you is "pretty awesomeness" to me. Everything that ends up on that green shag looks great!

Looking really good, waves and fonts are nice.

To anyone who has built this, do you reckon you could do it with top mounted jacks using the Lumberg ones?

They're the jacks I normally use.

lovely build!
tight too.
..and always love the green shag pile. 8)


On a professional level, probably should pm you here as I try to keep my posts positive, but those are the Mammoth knobs right?...the ones with the plastic screw inserts?  The ones that "strip like a teen school dropout in vegas" as somoe memorably said? I got them from Mammoth once, used them extensively, they were my faves- and they had brass inserts, then bought a bunch, like a heap, but this time they were plastic, can only be set once without striping...was so disappointed. If anyone has a source for them I'd love to hear about it.

Looks completely awesome! I want to give this circuit a closer listen.

You do get those knobs from Mammoth, right, Cody? I've gotten them from there in the past but did not know about the plastic set screws. If that is for real I will likely avoid them too.

Wow, this one is great, too.  The artwork is fantastic.

I really appreciate your advice and I take criticism any way It comes since that's the way I learn. That is the situation I was in. I bought some a year ago and they were brass inserted but I got 15-20 of them a few months ago and they are all plastic inserted. I am not happy with them for sure but they will do for now. I would defiantly not use these for a customer build (if I did much of that lol)

Definitely a unique reverb and deserves a place in your effect arsenal for sure. I agree about the knobs for sure.

Your reverse etching is what made me attempt in the first place. Another stellar example.

I'm always amazed by (and jealous of) your builds - especially the etches.  Brilliant!

I can't wait until my move is over and I can have a workbench again.    :-\

Looks really good! One question, when the ring is one max is there any dry signal?
