I can feel my eyes burning already...

Welp, I'm sold.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I'll probably end up building the Chasm, as I've had my eye on it for awhile and every demo I've heard of it has sounded awesome, not to mention all of your glowing reviews! I'll probably take a stab at one of PedalPCB's FV-1 projects in the near future as well, if for no other reason than to know what it's capable of. As cool as a standalone spring reverb unit would be, I'd greatly prefer something in pedal form than a large separate unit. Besides, I prefer the more ambient, washy style of reverb anyway.

I totally missed this project ... is there a chance that PCBs will be sold through Madbean?

God I hope so, you're not alone in only finding out about this now that it's too late. I'd love to take a stab at building that thing, it looks epic!

Hi everyone! I've been getting pretty involved with building my own pedals over the past 6 months or so, to the point where I've built enough to consider building a board to hold all my various creations. Anyway, the one thing I'm really missing at this point is a good, solid reverb (and a delay, but I'm working on that); my amp's onboard digital reverb really just doesn't cut it and seems to be there more as a token feature than anything truly useful (it IS just a Bugera, after all). There seem to be a good variety of projects out there, most based around either some flavor of the Belton brick or the Spin FV-1; I'm open to either (or something else, if such a project exists). Anyone got any personal favorites?

Looks great, dude! Still got any boards available? I'd be willing to take one off your hands!

That's basically how the Boss DC-2 works; it splits the signal into 2 separate delay lines that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other (when one is at maximum delay, the other is at minimum) and then recombines them along with the dry signal to produce the "motionless" chorus it's known for. Interestingly, it also allows one to get through-zero flanging out of it  by cutting the dry signal, as the 2 delay lines will pass each other in time. I have no idea if the idea would work in a proper flanging setup with really short delay times and feedback, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Wow, that thing is a beast, and yet the wiring is so clean even with all those jacks!! VERY nicely done.
