Paul, I'm so sorry man. Like you said I know you will battle for your family so let that be your guide when shit is hitting the fan I'm assuming with chemo/rad. I sincerely wish you well.

There was a time when cryptocurrency wasn't considered "real money" because you couldn't loose it in your couch cushions. Aren't you glad you didn't invest? Those "idiots" who made millions off of it should have continued to hate on technology and I'm sure they regret the decision. They had no idea what they were excited about.

Dude I still don't understand it! I had a couple of guys explaining it to me and I kept asking questions and they kept answering them and I kept saying that doesn't really help or answer my question     Don't get me wrong. I know for a fact it's me. As soon as I can buy my 6 pack with some at Publix thought I'm in !!!

To this day I despise drum machines and will not purchase any music if I know in advance they are being used. The word 'soulless' comes to mind and you can hear the lack of it. I have never liked synth sounds. Hated it when I first heard it and hate it today. I suppose a disclaimer is that I tolerate it with some of the iconic folks, Stevie Wonder during his iconic 70's phase but still wish he would switch back to 'regular' keys in the middle of a song, Chick Corea etc... But I would never identify them as synth players when describing them. I guess my point is that while I agree we are on the extremes of emotions with this new tech I will go to my grave despising AI 'created music'. I know I can't stop it. I know it will do what it will do but at the end of the day none of that means I have to like it. I actually find it very sad.

For me there is no question AI will eventually destroy humanity over time. Hell civility has been getting destroyed presently and I equate the two on some level. When you lose one you lose the other. What I find is that some people embrace it as they are enamored with technology constantly moving forward and don't see the issue. Some just don't care one way or the other. Me, I care a hell of a lot but know that and $3 gets me a coffee so I just shrug my shoulders, keep doing what I'm doing (building analog stuff, buying CD's so an artist can at least get .50cents I guess) until I fade off into the sunset. I've always said for decades that because something is new it doesn't necessarily mean it's better. Regardless, I'll just keep plugging away enjoying my life.

Well that got it working. I had the SND RTN bassakwards. Thanks guys.

But now it noisy as all get outs. Everything works but it sounds like the ocean as it modulates. Need to figure that out now.

Jimilee, my bad man. I said input/output jack but I meant what is the in/out on the PCB. My choices I guess are RTN SND.

I've got a dead pedal and it may be a ground issue.

I did not order the footswitch pad so my question is where do I connect the tips of the input/output jacks? The old board had in/out but not the new one.

Told you it was a dumb question 

It's in mono although I've wired for stereo. I don't have any sound files. I'll try to record off the Iphone and then figure out how to load.

I'm still trolling and still building...a lot really. In fact why in the hell am I still building a lot. It doesn't make any sense. I don't need pedal number 170!

Just a bump for this chump.

Ok, so I built this and everything works but something is off OR maybe this is such a unique delay that I'm not understanding what the ideal sound is.

Before I post pics, voltages etc... I thought I'd start with a question first. It's hard to describe but for example as you play chords there is a huge swell up and down almost like you would set your modulation on any given pedal to extremes. Sounds trippy as hell and rather cool but no matter how I set either the trimmers or knobs it has this sound. Think WWWWOOOOoooooowwwwwwWWWOOOOoooooowwwwWWWWWOOOOOoooooWwwww.........   assuming that makes sense 

Is this what the pedal was designed to sound like? I found one good demo out there that kind of has that sound but not on the extreme of mine by no means.

One anomaly that I have is that for the khz check the lowest I could get is 111 Hz. No idea why. Checked the value of the trimmer and that's good. Maybe causing the issue?

I'm looking to upgrade my Fishman amp. The speaker just flabs out when I play loud at home. I've been scouring the webz but wanted a few opinions if any are to be had.

I don't gig. I just go into different rooms when I crank it up. Budget wise I'd say between $700-$1200 give or take.

Any thoughts? Boss Singer 60? AER 60?

Damn. It's hard to put into words what I owe them considering where it has and still is taking me in this hobby. I wondered why a lot of their stuff was out of stock for so long.

I have to admit I started reading this thread oblivious until I got a few posts down and said "wait a minunte............" 

Yep Lace, there are still a bunch of gremlins lurking on any given day or hour. I don't post as much because of this.

The tax thing is beyond words and just flat out wrong. A complete money grab light years beyond reasonable. Stating the obvious I live in a country that was born out of that excessiveness and I dare say it is just as bad or worse now than 200+ years ago for my European friends. It's hard to see a legitimate work around.
