Nice analog sounding delay, just what the doctor ordered. Came together well on a pedalpcb.com board.
Not sure if I will change the knobs at some point, at the moment those were the ones I had at hand, will check about alternatives when I do order some more bits in.

stunning artwork, great build, well done
That is one tidy build.
Great work! Looking very schmick as per usual. :)
Looks good! Go with brass knobs, to make it more steam punk.
I just built one of these last week, too. Cooder, how does the high-end roll-off sound to you? On mine I'm finding it surprisingly severe. Even with the tone control all the way up it still basically sounds very midrangey. Great for percussive stuff and some ambient but not for more conventional sounds. I'm just wondering whether it's the cheap tayda 2399 I used or if I made a mistake. I listened to a few vids on youtube but they all sound honk-y so I can't get a comparison.
Kind of OT, but either my ears aren't very good, or I've been extremely lucky with tayda pt2399's.
I can't hear any difference in any build that I've made w/them. But then, I'm not real picky about delays
as long as I can hear the delay signal and it's not too distorted. Even then, a gently distorting delay is nice.
Thanks guys!

It has a fairly analog flair sound wise I feel, which I do like. Certainly the signal degradation takes the high end away from other 'pristine' type of digital delays.
With Tone control in higher settings it reminds me of the Sea Urchin / Deep Blue delay which is also not super pristine by default. I find it overall useful as I dig that type of delay flair where the repeats 'sit under' the guitar signal. With tone rolled off on pedal that certainly becomes more so. Great for driven sounds IMO, however not the spacey pristine delay territory.
Hope that helps.

Sounds like a good idea, cheers.
