Title: Cave Dweller Baby Build
Post by: gtr2 on April 29, 2012, 01:07:26 AM
Build 4 of 4 and it's my favorite  ;)  Done with baby builds for a little while.  Haven't done this many pedals in rapid fire before.  Tired...

Cave Dweller...enjoy!

Those are awesome builds, and they look great inside and out.  Maybe even more so inside.  Are those the SmallBear low-profile jacks?  If so, how did you like them?

The jacks are these from the build doc.  http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=NRJ4HFvirtualkey56810000virtualkey550-10284

A little cheaper.  I didn't use the washers with them FWIW.

Thanks!  Luckily I'm making a Mouser order this week.  And a SmallBear order.  "O how boring life would be...ordering from only one supplier!" ;)

I'm hoping to build one of these soon, how does it sound?

Unsuspectedly good!

You can get the echoes to really "float" back in the mix similar to an old echoplex.  At longer delay times the repeats are a bit noisy, but that's to be expected!  I can't wait for the dub version to be fabbed!
