Here's one of the things I've been working on lately - it's an Analog delay that I'm calling the R2Dlay. Started as a customer's custom order, now it's turning into a short run.

Pretty pleased with myself. Sounds glorious. Check it out.



(No, those aren't really MN3005's - they're Fakes that actually are MN3008s)

Speaking of off topic,

Whiskers or clean shaven?

I'm a full-bearder myself.

Soul Patch guy myself

The Soul Patch is just a failure to commit.

Now that's a silly question. The only answer is bearded.

Charles Spurgeon, one of the most quoted men of all time, said,

"Growing a beard is a habit most natural, scriptural, manly and beneficial."

I've also heard it said, that the only reason to shave one's beard is for the pleasure of growing it once more.

I think CFL is by far the most exciting football to watch. I wish I still had Cable to watch TSN.

And since there's no hockey... Any thoughts on the lockout?

Jacob

What can we talk about next?

Jacob

Since we've already covered across the pond swearing differences and beer, let's take it in an entirely different direction.  I'm going with CFL football, and how the Riders will tank it as usual this year.

As an Argos fan, I'll agree with you. However, I think BC is coming up with the Cup this year. Should be an exciting Playoffs though.

Being in Saskatchewan is a different exprience for CFL football. It's totally rad to see people who care so much about it. I joined a pool with some riders and stamps fans this year, and it's been a lot of fun because I've followed the Season more closely than I have in the past.

CFL football is the only way to go.

Glad you got it fixed.

Jacob

Can you show us a picture of your jack wiring?  Sound like you have the tip and ring lugs switched if its a stereo jack.

Josh

That's what I thought of too.

Jacob

Oh, and the schem/layout looks alright. I should also note that you can easily use 1uF caps instead of 10uF, and often, film caps are good to use in that place as well.

I would say that while your layout looks workable, I would likely do it differently.

Jacob

Pretty much any value between 10K and 10M will work. I personally use 1M on mine. 10M was a part of the original design someone else included, and I believe I mention that in the build docs (sorry if not).

Jacob

That schematic is pretty much the basis for about %90 of the PT2399 based DIY and production delays out there. If put in series with short delay times, I believe it can give you what approximates a spring reverb.

Are you sure you can't get parts for your own Reverb? Smallbear sells the popular Belton Reverb Bricks, and 1776 Effects (which have their forum hosted here, and are run by another member, GTR2) have a great, small format, DIY reverb project. Both Smallbear and 1776 will deliver to Mexico, I'm sure.

That is precisely the amp I want to build.

Jacob

Yeah, use the out of the headphone amp to go into the splitter. That would work fine.

Jacob

Sure, that sounds fine.

One benefit to using an input buffer would be to control the gain, or add an eq/tone stack. Aside from that, you can daisy chain this output buffers to your hearts content.

Jacob

I did look at the schem you posted, and while it might work, I don't think it's the best solution. Essentially the problem is that none of the outputs are isolated from each other. I think you should have an output buffer for each output. If you were just splitting once, and you don't need it to sound good, than it might work.

As for the headphone amp, it's sort of the same idea. What you actually should be using as a guide is this: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=1798.msg13480#msg13480

This is a low parts count simple buffer. Split as many times as you want, and add as many of the buffers as you want outputs.
