Title: HiFi Cave Dweller?
Post by: insomniac2295 on August 26, 2012, 07:50:20 PM
So the Cave Dweller is described as a "medium-fi" delay. Is there any way to make it more hifi like a digital delay? Thanks

No...there's just not enough going on in it to really bolster the fidelity. For that, I suggest either the "Sea Urchin" in the Extra Projects section, Rebote 2.5 or the Echo Base.

You are not really going to get much of a hi-fi type digital delay out of a PT2399-- it's frequency response is pretty low by guitar standards (which is why it is useful for doing analog modeled type stuff).

+1 on the echo base, pretty amazing pedal, and someone out there sells a great PCB.

I'm fairly new at this, but mine turned out really well(by my standards at least)

Off topic, but: That looks pretty good, aballen! Gutshots? Maybe a build report?

I did not mean to go OT, but the Echo Base was mentioned, and I wanted to say what a great design it is.

I'm not exactly proud of the gutshot.  Not that it is a mess, but I could have planned the mods a little better.  It would have been cleaner.

Has anyone got around to building the *bonus* dual cave dweller? I'm going by radioshack today to get some regulators. Then I'm gonna build it. Does it just double the delay time? I don't like hifi, I'm inlove w the old tape deck style echo. The more dark and degraded the better (hmm... Kinda like highschool)

You mean the cave dweller II?  I want to build one, but I have not had time to etch a board.  Is anyone selling them?  This is definately on my short list after the low rider.

ya that's the one. I'll etch you one if bean doesn't care. If about to etch myself one. I can just do 2 at once if you want?

I'll happily toss you a few bucks for postage and such.  Just get the ok first, and then PM me.

ight, hey Brian? What us with the C Dwell II? Does it use dual PT's for double delay time?
Title: Re: HiFi Cave Dweller?
Post by: aballen on August 29, 2012, 12:06:25 AM
There are definitely two in the schematic

Anyone out there know of a demo for the CDII? I would love to hear it! Also, does the 'DUB' edition have the same issue with "darkening" the overall sound like single version?

I wouldn't call it an issue, its a feature :D it makes the Cave Dweller..... well cavey
Title: Re: HiFi Cave Dweller?
Post by: wolfingsworth on September 03, 2012, 05:57:27 AM
That's a good point. I guess I'll just have to build one to see if I like it!

I have one etched. I'll try to post when it's done.
