Couldn't resist and ended up buying my own copy from a local record store too...guess I need to source more parts. Ha

My friend bought the latest A Place To Bury Strangers vinyl, the cover to which is a PCB to build a crazy synthesizer/audio mangler, and asked me to build it for him. I had most of the parts on hand, but thanks to an excellent list from @BrainDrain it was easy to track down the rest. Took a...

Nice! Just build up one of these for a friend too (demo here)! Didn't really want one for myself, but then I had a few extra days with his and it was a lot of fun. Might have to track it down after all

Nice job persevering through the build! For what it's worth, I was a bit underwhelmed by this circuit too (so much so that I've yet to box it up). Maybe it's all the hype this pedal got that means expectations are too high?

When I'm really unsure if I'll end up boxing something up I solder all pots and switches as straight as possible (or use a cardboard template---starting to test 3D-printing templates too) then measure carefully when it comes time to drill any holes. That said, if I'm being honest, testing...

Oh nice! I do love my Low Tide mini. Might have to try this if I can muster the courage to open it back up

That's very good to know, thanks! Been curious about this as an alternative to the DBA Reverberation Machine, but have to be cautious with my limited stock of precious Belton Bricks. Ha

Nice job! They look great. I'm curious about the Beholder---all the demos I've heard sound gnarly (which isn't bad), but can you tame it and get a more conventional reverb out of it too (ie, dial out the fuzz if you want)?

Ooo thanks. I had just been reading about this one. Will have to watch some videos

Always love a pedal with switchable knob settings when there's room, so kudos on that @jcpst! Not sure if I'll end up keeping mine or salvaging the brick for something else yet. Are there any good dirty reverb alternatives?

Yeah, I don't expect anything DBA to be high fidelity or normal, just fun and weird. This fits that bill. I only have a medium Belton brick at the moment (so expensive to get one to/in Canada right now) and have been playing with the quad op amp, but it seems to work as it should and will be...

Nice job! I've definitely been halfway through a build before realizing I had measured things wrong and nothing would fit. Ha Just testing my own build of this circuit and had to troubleshoot no power to the brick (got it sorted). Still deciding if it's ready to box up, as I'm not sure I like...

I've just started helping my friend source the parts, as the parts kit was pretty expensive to order from them. Pretty straightforward so far, but not sure what his plans are to "finish" it just yet

I don't see a downside, so why not?

Oh great! So it worked well for you then? I'll have to see if that's an option when I go to place my next order
