Yet Another Analog Delay

Only components that differ from the doc is R45- I went with 24k, and I used an NE571

FX loop is inserted between Lug 2 of the FDBK pot and the board

BLST shorts lug 2 & 3 of the FDBK pot, and puts a 10k in parallel with R45

Spent about an hour troubleshooting this before I realized I'd put a 79L15 in one of the regulator spots

Vid is without any calibration except to the clock trimmer. And, yeah, I still don't know what to do with delay pedals

Went together easily enough, and sounds great despite my bias against space and time based pedals

Awesome. The FX loop is a solid call.

Noice. How does it sound into a RAT?

Put a 3p momentary in the BLST switch position andwhen the pedal is disengaged you could have momentary on with BLST!
That would be a lot of cable flying around in that YAAD though. Could cause some noise.

So, thinking about this concept, I think it could be cool, but might work better with a reverb. My buddy's got a few ambient things he wants built, and he loves the blast switches, so I'll try it on at least one of those and report back

Could put a buffered bypass in and always feed the reverb input signal. Then when you step on the blast, you get head (vs tails)
Break it with an internal dpdt with straight input on the other side
Blast head/Blast tail
That would probably be cooler on a delay. Could do some call and response chaos.

Try putting a comparator fuzz in the feedback loop and play around with the choke control. Did something similar yesterday and the results were pretty wild!
