Title: The Man with Two Brains**Now with Demo**
Post by: Guitarmageddon on August 18, 2012, 01:52:11 AM
I've always loved multi-tap delay so this seemed like a good idea.
It's CJ's TweakTone and MB's Sea Urchin housed together.
They're quite similar, but different enough to pair really well.

I used a 70K pot on the TT to get a little extra delay time, other than that they're stock.
I can get some luxurious swells of echo when they're both on. :D

And a little Demo.

That is hands down the coolest enclosure etching(? how did you do that ?) i've seen!

Nice job! 
and if there's ever a problem with the pedal.. I bet it's the purple wire!

Really cool looking pedal!

Great build Ben! :)

The purple wire is genuine Swiking hookup cable, it can withstand the rage of Thor!! Haha!

Well thanks,
I use laser printer toner and a homebrew HCl/Hydrogen Peroxide mix.
Box is painted with a few different colors of the cheapest rattle paint I can find, it's all pretty DIY ;D

...and I'll never say a harsh word about my purple viking wire. 8)

Digging the unorthodox-yet-symmetrical knob layout, too.

I haven't seen that movie in years.  It might be time for a reviewing (although my old VHS copy is gone).

Cool build, too.  I really like the Sea Urchin circuit.  One of my favorites, actually.
