Looks great! I'll be over in a minute

I just stumbled into this thread after some time away from building and my mind is blown. I knew I bought some SMT tools for a reason.

Very interested in the progress here, as I was looking up similar machines last week.

DIY pedal building has to be the only context in which the phrase

The additional delay...

can get my hopes up...

If it comes in at $100, I'll bite. $125 will make me wait until someone sells a used one. I've actually never owned a looper, so I am not sure if I would use one. Seems cool though.
I saw your thread over at BYOC P-Watts. How do you use your loopers? Is it a live thing, or do you use them for song writing? I have never figured the real use for them. If I am writing, I simply open up Garage Band and record a track, then work on the other parts.

Hey Patrick, I use a looper for a number of things:

- Live: for adding ambient reverse nonsense or a bit of a rhythm part
- Writing: helps me work on lead lines/solos and figure out accompaniment a bit
- Random noodling: I'll layer a ton of nonsense and see what happens, it's amazing how many songs ideas have come out of this

For me it's just a lot easier to turn on my amp and start jamming (my rig is setup all the time) than get the computer going and record, playback, etc. (though I do that too when I'm really in the thick of things).

That is awesome. I love the wonky reverse and delay functions of my RC20XL and Boomerang (I also currently have an RC300, but I don't think that's sticking around), but something so small is amazing!

I wonder when it will be DIYable?

I've built 2 of these in one enclosure and, to be honest, I don't find the difference between the 2 bricks (short and long) to be that astounding. I'm thinking of just wiring 1 board with 2 mix knobs to toggle between (giving 2 settings to quickly stomp between).

That said, having them both on at full mix is pretty fun...

Are there any other mods for this circuit (it's great as is! I'm just curious)?

I've had the same issue before in an apartment building: we could be playing acoustically at 5pm and they'd come knocking. In fact, it was so quiet that I could hear them leaving their apt. to come to ours, so I'd stop playing before they even got to me.

In the end, I'm with Madbean in the sense that people like this aren't reasonable in most cases. In my case it turns out my neighbours would still complain to my landlord even after we had fully complied with their wishes, but then he told me they also complained about EVERYTHING (windows condensate after a shower, etc.) and he wanted them gone. They moved out shortly after, thankfully!

We just bought a semi-detached home and definitely want to start on the right foot with our new, permanent neighbours, so I'm looking into sound absorption and amp placement too.

Good luck!

Very nice! I just bought a Neptune board and am loving the idea of that momentary switch!

Amazing. Great looking pedal inside and out!

The most I've been able to cram into a 1590a is one knob and LED bezel...bah!

My BYOC 250 is the first pedal I ever built and still my favourite OD.
