A quick look and the soldering of the in/out/power wires at the top of the board looks very loose. I would make sure there's enough solder to fill the holes and also double check that nothing is possibly touching each other. In general, you'll want to reflow and ensure all solder joints look...

I guess neither one bother me then, as I like messing with the feedback on this. At one point I tried adding some clipping diodes to ground on a toggle switch, which made it gnarlier, but never bothered including that as a mod

Good to know! I have so many delays to build (always more in the queue). For what it's worth, while I agree about the gain on the Space Is fun, I don't mind the Belton sound at all

There are other pedals that do a similar sound (distorted reverb) that don't make your dry signal dark too though (also this has a bright/dark setting for the reverb). My understanding from folks who know more than I do about electronics is that this circuit is just under-designed and sort of...

I feel like it's kind of the opposite---It's got this niche street cred for noise dudes who love to have one on their boards, but builders scratch their heads at why it's so popular. Whatever the case, as someone who used to ride a scooter and misses it, I'm all for whatever makes you happy

Haven't built much lately, so I'm still making my way through the backlog, including last year's Moonn order. I was excited by the Space Is Fun, but I should have read more about the Reverberation Machine first, as I was underwhelmed in the end by how dark and noisy this thing is (not Moonn's...

I'd never tried one of these silicone-tipped suckers before, so on the strength of this thread I grabbed a cheap version from Aliexpress (and some extra tubing) and it works so much better than my old one. Makes me want to desolder things!

Totally fair! There are times when I get it into a sweet spot and love what it does, but Belton Bricks are too expensive to get up here, so I'm precious about what gets to use one. Ha

Nice! Looks great. I haven't populated my Echo Dream board, but the Reverberation machine left me a bit cold with how muddy and noisy it can be, but maybe I'll explore it a little more before tossing it in the pile of un-boxed circuits My goal with buying them was to do a combo build like this...

Aside from some super brief SMD stuff, I've only ever used the non-powered, spring-loaded solder suckers. Am I missing out?

Very excited to build one of these! So many great features in one box

Your demo had already convinced me, but now I'm extra convinced. Ha

Oh this is very cool. Arg. Don't want to build ANOTHER delay, but can I resist?

Ha. Same I built a Reverberation Machine from Moonn, but it's was underwhelming (very muddy circuit and the gain is bleh). I've also got a Gravitation Reverb that's populated but not boxed up, as it's not grabbing me either. Maybe adding a dirt board after it would help? For what it's worth...

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
