One of my  New Year's Resolutions was to have fun building one pedal a month for the contests.  I've historically only built pedals that I really wanted or custom builds for others. When the pressure isn't on to build something that isn't going directly to the pedal board, one can be so much more creative and really enjoy the hobby!

Can't wait to see what January's guidelines are going to be!

Did seeing the guts unveil how the modulation is being introduced into the circuit? There has been discussion of whether the short bricks have it verse the long. Would be another nice thing to have control over.

Besides the most excellent current lover I won in the pif, I got 100 of those smt j201....damn they're tiny!!

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.
