I like the simplicity of the seabed. Time, level and feedback. I know nothing about Daisyseed.not much about FV-1. I would be awesome to have a custom board designed for a dual delay with a built in series/parallel switch. Not sure if there is enough interest for a circuit layout designer to...

Anybody already make a dual Seabed delay already? I was thinking after a gig last week that I would like two delay pedals on my gig pedal board. One for a good slapback, the other for longer, more saturated delay. I could just make another magnetron. But then I thought about making a dual delay...

I'm glad you figured it out. It's pretty cool circuit. I use it on stage for a couple of songs where I like to get that real late 60 sound. When I'm building the board I find two matched capacitors for the mid cut. I try to get him as close as possible and measure the value of those components...

Did you buy a Deep Trip Pagebender? I have one. It's pretty awesome. The circuit I ended up with does the sound of the page Bender but gets nasty like the hellbender. I have circuit boards and a bom available

Hey man that looks really cool! I haven't been around much but I've been reading. Dealing with family health issues can be all consuming. Yeah I really dig this circuit a lot. I feel like there's all kinds of classic rock tones to be had. It achieves the things I was looking for. It does the...

Cool enclosure! I got sidetracked by finding my mom a retirement community and getting the old log cabin ready for sale, but I need to get back on track and finish this pedal!

It's runnin' now. Not sure how socket goes bad but, it works now.

Yeah there's two sides to every coin. A lot of people say the less things you solder the better the less connections there are the better. And that is definitely true to some aspect. However as an electrician who is a service technician, I know that serviceability means a lot. I always socket...

Thank you very much. That's what I thought. I sold all the ones I had previously built (like a dummy). I should know better and always keep one so I can stare and compare to see what I've done wrong. I'm just having a hard time figuring out on this one. Everything else is kosher, just doesn't...

So this is about the fifth pendulum I've built and this is the first one that I've had any issues. Basically I would say the voltage does not look right to me between R12 and R11 going to pin 12 on ic2.4. I would imagine it's a voltage divider and I should be seeing about 4.5v, instead it's...

Thank you very much for sharing this info! Great stuff!

Even though I love the germanium sound, I avoid the search for the germanium transistors. If I can find low gain silicon to take its place, that's the path I'm going to take. That's just me. You can build this circuit with Q2 and Q3 at 100 hfe and it will sound good. KSY 62B? Interesting! I...

Oh cool! On the one I built I used bc549c on Q1 and Q4 (flipped around for proper pinout), and some 2N3903 for Q2 and Q3. Hfe of 70 and 80 approx. I had sc9018 transistors on the breadboard for these two as they were what I had at the time with a low Hfe of around 100. It is slightly easier to...

Well, somebody with a bass needs to build one!

It is two layers of trace. The pots and components are all on the same side which seemed strange. Come to think of it you're absolutely correct. The hellbender and the page Bender are very similar. Much more so than the BOG is. I noticed after looking at it again, that they use the zero...
