After almost two years, I'm proud to say I have finally boxed this amazing-sounding delay, despite the odd pulled-up solder pad or bridge (goofs I have not made often up to now)! I agree with wintersoldier; this hits very close to a top-shelf delay such as the Maxon AD-900. I went with something like vintage Boss aesthetics, using the graphic bio77 had shared with me for his 999 chorus as a base. I also tried vinyl sticker paper instead of waterslide decals and it is certainly easier to work with. I finally built an audio probe for this project, and the biasing seemed easy enough by ear. Getting the right frequency range on the 3102 with the clock trim and dialing out the clock noise with the cancel trims went well. On the BBD gain trimmer, I have to admit it's hard for me to hear any volume differences between the two 3205s. But I'm getting strong and clear repeats so will go with it! One thing I really like as well is how much range the mix/level pot has. Thank to Clinton and Dan for bringing this to life!

Well done man. Good looking build. The DM-3 might be my favorite analog delay… it’s definitely a hard one to beat.

Looks great!
Font choice for "Analog Echo" is on point.
