Thanks for the kind words! I used a ceramic cap labelled as 220pF that measured 245pF. I've got another board I've built at the same time as this one, for that I used another 220pF cap that measured 235pF. I measured a few caps to find ones that were close to 240pF, they seem to vary quite a bit. The delay pots measured 101K in this build and 98K in the other one. I also used a 10K linear pot for the feedback in both builds instead of the 10K log specified in the build doc, and it seems to function just fine over the sweep of the pot. The knobs are Davies 1400 clones from Small Bear, and there's just enough room for them to fit without the knob's pointers interfering with each other.
I don't know how many hours I spent putting these two together, maybe like 15 hours in total. I went kind of slow over the course of several days. Most of the time was spent working out how to fit everything in, and designing the decal. It's the first time I've used a fabbed board from madbean and I have to say I'm really impressed with the quality and the ease of soldering. And it sure beats etching my own board and drilling hundreds of holes!
I've gone kind of delay-crazy over the last few months, and I'm considering building another DirtBag to use the couple of V3205 chips I have just to compare how it sounds to the MN3005 versions. Based on the sound of the previous V3205 delay I built (the AD3208 from guitar gadgets) I reckon it'll sound pretty close to the 3005 version like Brian says.
