If the old style large bricks don't have the modulation than Earthquake Devices Ghost Echo would certainly be different between their big box and small box models. Hmmm....

I've got a dead board but am salvaging the enclosure, jacks and pots. If anyone wants to take on the challenge of reversing it I will ship the board their way. It is mostly smt and double sided and is just too much of an undertaking for me at this time. 

From their site.

Features:
• Voice control to tailor The Depths to every set up and allow operation anywhere
in the signal chain and on a variety of instruments.
• Control over the low end throb
• Classic photocell construction - YEAH!!!!
• Adjustable volume to boost or cut the signal
• 9-18v Operation

Obviously I build the majority of my effects, but I might just have to fork over the cash for this one. Anyone have a clue about what it might be based off of?  Or a circuit capable of getting the same sounds?

Kilelr, that was the plan. You should check out my build report over in the monthly contest entry final submission thread. Get a 125BB enclosure!

fender toronado bridge humbucker into m-audio firewire solo into cubase. All clean. I did this demo so everyone can hear the filter types, ghost, path and modulation. And no delay audio demo is complete with out oscillation on the end. Anyway, this is about as basic as it gets playing wise, but the purpose is to highlight the sounds of the pedal. Hope it will convince someone to pull the trigger and build one!

I did adjust the feedback resistor, can't recall which resistor it is, but will detail it in build report soon to follow.

c26 was a 184 instead of a 104....found it after mangling the thing....build report coming soon....

Nope, that didn't help. Even if I play softly the last repeats get crackly....guess I should mention that I modded the feedback resistor r41 to 27k, but I did switch it back with same results.

Well, i kind of thought of that. It's a Fender Toronado with original humbucker, which is pretty hot, and a p90 in the neck. Tried with both pickups, even lowered pickup volume and blasted output volume with same issue. I am wondering what will happen if I put a pedal in front of it.

Hey folks. Cobbling this sucker together. It's up and running, but I am not sure if it sounds *right.* I know it simulates analog delat sound, but I am wondering if it is supposed to get as distorted on the 3rd or 4th repeat as mine does. Hopefully others who have built it can comment. Here is a sound clip for reference! I recorder 4 strums per mode. It is guitar into firewire solo device. Please chime in!!

I was wondering the same thing with regards to the 9vac on the weber.

As far as the 16vAC output goes, does it need to be filtered, smoothed, or anything like that, or can I just hook it up directly to/from the proper tranny output, and is 15vac going to be close enough for my 16vac blackstar?

Fixed!

V3205 with final solution mods sounds great! A little more trim tweaking and this baby is going to sound killer.

Well you guessed it, this is a post about v3205 repeat distortion/noise.  Not trying to beat a dead horse here, but I had some questions and wanted to document my experience to see if others have had the same.

I built from ground up with the final solution listed here:

http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=3366.0

I also installed a switch for the filter cap mod (.022/1uf.) I used a audio probe through headphones to adjust for least amount of noise. Kept balance in middle, didn't have to adjust gain pots to self oscillate. I get distortion or noise on my repeats, but honestly don't know if it is either or. Lowering the input into the pedal via volume knob on guitar or single coil vs humbucker helps. Also using the mod switch on the lower cap value helps a bit. There is an audible level difference (lower, cleaner) on the output of the bbd chips when selecting the lower value cap. there is still a healthy (volume/gain) increase when comparing  the input to output of the first BBD.

So....I saw this post from madbean earlier:

http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=3332.0

where he mentions removing r14 as solving a lot of the distortion issue. The final solution does not incorporate this and instead has adjustments to r17 and r16.  Does this have a similar effect as the removal of r14?

I liked the idea of needing to adjust the gain trims to taste, but as the pedal is now, they are totally counterclockwise and I get oscillation at 3 o'clock on feedback pot. Has this been other mn3205 builders experience with these mods?

Is that a pot labeled BALLS I see? 

If I recall correctly, the maestro phaser has a control with this label. Hmmm.....
