Ok day two of wrapping up delay week. Another MBP build. And a doozy at that.
This is a hefty build, I won’t call it a challenge because it wasn’t but it was very finicky. And the biasing part was not pleasant but I finally got it dialed in and wow it’s crazy. The mod section I could do without as it’s wild both the Vib and Chrous send this pedal into low tide territory which is cool but not really what I’m after in a delay pedal. The delay is super lush and amazing but that feedback knob is so touchy just breathing on it and it’s off to crazy town. When it’s in the magic spot it truly is magical.
I would build another aquababy but I would not build another one of these. It’s very $$$ when you add all the chips and dedicated wall wart and and and. Don’t get me wrong, I’m stoked to have it I have always wanted one. But I think I’m more impressed with the simple DM2 over this wild horse…meat… wtf.
Another case of too excited to snap a finalized gut photo. The pre-wired pre mn3005s will have to do. I will try to get audio from the aquababy vs DMM this weekend.
Go build something.
