Let me clarify: i'm trying to reproduce the sound of my dd20's tape echo setting, which I used on a few songs on our album that we play regularly. it's kind of a 'ba-dump...ba-dump' sound from the multi-head modeling. (I think of it as a Neil Young-ish type thing but I don't know if i've ever heard it from anything he's done...just one of those things my brain does without logical explanation) For whatever reason I want to hear a more dark and knarly sound out of this specific delay. One thing i've noticed about the fatpants is that when you hit it with dirt it changes the character of breakup in a cool way...which kinda reminds me of some classic rock stuff that probably used an echoplex in the first place. Plus, these pt delays are plenty bright and clinical sounding as is compared to what I think a tape echo would sound like. I'm okay with it changing the dry sound because I use it on specific things only. I'll probably make a little bit of a compromise in how dark it is when I install it (probably a little too dark now)
i used this dd20 preset on the songs ravenswire and love as you should (we recorded it in wet/dry fashion so it's pretty low in the mix):

mjcyates: nice idea, I can see how that would be a handy switch
maysink: yes, I just plugged the box into the input of this delay and I really like it so far. It makes it sound less like a pt based delay and gives me a different texture.
I think it makes more sense to implement this circuit after the signal is split so it only effects the repeats but i'm not about to hack up the pcb now as i'm pretty busy for the next month and need to use it.
