Title: Double Delay Decay aka DDD (size matters...)
Post by: GrindCustoms on September 23, 2012, 09:38:56 AM
Could have put a battery snap!  ;D

Took 2 hours of elbow grease to get that enclosure done.......

Channel A (Red) is CJ's Tweak Tone, with B100k Time pot with 270k and 100k resistor on a switch for stock and expanded repeat time. The long repeat time is really nice, does'nt get to distorted...just right...close to an analog....
Also have a «Dark» switch, stock 10nf cap and 68nf for the Dark side, wich is really cool to me. I did'nt had any 1 turn 10k trimpot so i stuck a 5K...........did'nt even played with it yet and i'm super satisfied by the sound of this delay.....my favorite PT powered so far!

Channel B (Black) is CJ's Neptune, with R17 replaced by a switch that have a 12K and 33K resistor instead of 18k stock. On short mode the repeats are really clean and defined, on Long mode.....well, it gets really nasty super lo-fi....dunno what time is....but it's damn long!

Cool. Especially i like the enclosure colouring/design. How did you do that? Two layers of different colours, then sand?

Mmmmmmmm, so much delay.

Looks like you got the new letter punches working, too! You might be able to get away with wiping some white paint in there to make them readable, though.

You made the dual delay after all! Looks beautiful. Did you wire them in series, or parallel?

I don't feel like putting white paint...., in person they're quite easy to read....but i may try something with paint thinner in a syringe to get them to bare metal....

They're in serie, double taptation is really cool, but i might do a parrallel one....just need to get some double ganged jacks....that's what i would need i think...?
