Title: Box of Hall
Post by: jonnygreentrees on November 13, 2016, 06:30:23 PM
My friend actually built this (I'm helping him get into building pedals) but I did the artwork and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Built on the FuzzDog PCB

very cool, I've never messed with a box of hall, how does it sound?

actually sounds really nice and springy. As long as the fact you can't adjust the decay time doesn't bother you I'd definitely recommend it

I imagine you can kind of fake that with the mix knob.

Very cool look you've got going there. Cool of you to bring others into the addiction ;)

you can actually substitute the btdr-2h for the 3h with variable decay lengths. Pins 1-6 are the same on both and pins 7, 8 and 9, 10 on the 3H are for the decay stereo pot. The only thing is that it's not that easy to fit in usually. If I ever attempted it, I guess the best way to do it, is to bend pins 7-10 straight, mount pins 1-6 to the board as you always would and solder the pot to the straightened pins.
