Title: Well, it's Groundhog Day... again... Dirtbag Deluxe aka Groundhog dELay
Post by: jimmybjj on December 31, 2011, 05:35:58 PM
Here is my attempt at the dmm. I am pretty stinkin happy with it. I didn't have any issues what so ever, went together like paint by the numbers. I built the mn3005's from magazine vault (he no longer seems to have any) I'm getting about 500ms of delay time but haven't really spent any time trying to tune it in yet. The daughter board for 15v is mounted under the main board.  In the pics the "Alien Silver" powder coating looks mundane and bland. And as usual my pictures don't do justice to the finish, it is MUCH MORE sparkly and pops in person. The decals are from pulsar, they were a much more bright purple before they entered the over but i think they still look good.

Damn Jimmy that is one sexy pedal! I love that finish. It is good to see someone going away from the obvious DMM clone design, and with such great results too! Good job man.

Looks absolutely perfect. I like the 1 ohm resistor on the footswitch as well, nice little touch :)

I've seen people do that before--0 ohm resistor used as an isolated lead/jumper

Spectacular build. Love the big silver knobs. +1 to the clean or missing wiring!

thanks again for the compliments. The resistor on the switch is just a "0" ohm as stated, just a fancy wire :)
