Title: The Double Dweller (no, not the Dual Dweller)
Post by: GermanCdn on February 01, 2013, 07:04:44 AM
So this was a necessity is the mother of invention type build.  I'd built up the Cave Dweller circuit, was rocking it before I boxed it, and was really enjoying the whole dark delay vibe it had going.  Problem is, I don't share the love for 1590A builds, I find them to be more stress than I'd like, and I didn't have any 1590B's kicking around either.  The circuit was going to look awfully lonely in a 125B all by itself.

Solution - throw two separate time knobs on a 4PDT.  FIlls the space, and gives you options.

I have D1 set for short slapback/faux reverb times, and D2 set for longer delay times.  Really easy mod with a 4PDT (dear Tayda, please restock, I've only got two left) and a couple of LEDs, strategically placed on the same side as their respective knobs so I don't have to remember what colour means what (getting old is a bitch).

Not much more left to say, nice little pedal, easy mods, less space on the pedal board.  Winning all around.

This is a superb idea. The purple sparklyness is excellent as well!

I need this, as of now I have a dweller and a multiplex on my board. I live the long delays of the cave dweller

Nice job!

You could have done the Time pot swap and LED indicators with a DPDT switch. One pole to switch out between lug 3/2 of the Time pots, and the other pole to switch between LEDs. All the other connections can be hard wired.

But your way works just fine, obviously.  :)
