The layouts of each of these pt2399 delay projects are rather similar. I was wondering if someone could give some insight as to the differences between the two.
The BOMs for each can be found on the aion vector project page:

Cheers!
The Rebote is overall a cleaner delay. It's really well-implemented for the PT2399. The DBD is a bit noisier because it has less filtering but it is more filtered in the repeats for a tape like response (coming from the 2k/47n LP filter). You cannot go wrong with either but they are definitely different.
Ah good to know. And thanks for the response! I was hoping that the answer would make the decision a bit easier for me to choose, but both sound very appealing.
Both use the same crappy input stage design. Build the PT-80 or something else that was designed competently.
I built the Rebote Delay 2.5, I never had any delay pedal, but I think it isn't so bad.
I'd like to have a PT-80 but I use to build on stripboard and I think it is too complicated to have a veroboard layout.
I've already got the PCB for the other delay projects. I'll definitely look into the PT-80 for a future build, though.
