Hey,
So I just finished my Hydra delay. It sounds glorious.
I used A10k for the mix pot, and B50k for feedback (see below)
I wasn't satisfied with the fact that with only one head selected there was not much feedback available. And when two heads were active, the oscillation could become way too loud.
So I built a simple Electra circuit that I put in the feedback path. I used the values from the Lovepedal JTM but with 1N4001 for clipping diodes.
That allows me to push one head into oscillation, but also to limit the signal and add some slight grit when pushed. It also cuts bass a little in the feedback path, which I prefer (I love the darker positions, with the Age pot well engaged. Now it doesn't get muddy even with a lot of feedback).
All in all, it gives a slightly warmer and more "analog" feel to the repeats, which I really like.
I went for the classic look, inspired by other builds I saw here.
Thanks for nice PCB, programming, and for the cool faceplate too @PedalPCB !
Cheers
