Title: Dreamtime delay
Post by: m-Kresol on January 20, 2019, 02:16:07 PM
Here's my latest build, madbean' Dreamtime FV-1 delay.
If you haven't built it, I highly recommend it. It's glorious. I never cared for modulation, but the slow tremolo modulation is crazy good.

Random space invader laser engraved onto a tayda powder coated enclosure. I tried some new jacks, which was a huge pain (11mm holes etc.) and the pcb just barely squeezed in despite thin wires.
I also had to make an extra small optical bypass board to fit the 1590a. it's basically a copy of THcustoms mini bypass, using 0603 parts. The difference is only that I have an extra resistor for the indicator LED and one for the optocoupler. I ordered a set of 40 pieces with V-scores from elecrow, but got 120 (they extended my 2x2 design to 5x6, no idea why). this will suffice for eternity.

Really impressive job Felix. I was just looking at the Dreamtime the other day. Nice work getting it to fit. How are you liking the sounds?

Very nice.  I've got one that needs boxing as well.  I'm excited about it.
