Any chance we’ll be seeing the PCBs available for this (and the creamery?) by summertime?

And a daydream band delay algo of course!

The board is full stereo in/out, but that will depend on the algorithm. (Some could be mono in, stereo out)
By default the Mix potentiometer is a dual-ganged potentiometer that affects both channels simultaneously, but for my prototype build I wired in two separate pots for individual control over each side. This would allow a wet/dry stereo output.

Anyone know of a concentric potentiometer with the same footprint as a PCB mount dual gang pot?

Put me down as interested. Was looking at a Source Audio Ventris. Bit pricey though. Really just want a decent stereo reverb to go after my HX Stomp to get some better reverb effect. This might do the trick.
What does the FV-1 reverbs sound like? Any good?

FV-1 verbs are pretty good, if not a bit rudimentary. FV-1 delays and mod effects generally outshine the reverbs imo, but the verbs can be perfectly good too— just a bit less exciting yk? There are a few Keeley verbs that use the FV-1 if you wanna check out some demos— I think the different “studio” verbs (Abbey Verb, Memphis Sun, Vibe o Verb, Gold Star) are all FV-1 based.

Noise and distortion are very low with the FV-1, especially compared to the PT2399. As for the reverb's tone, it's down to the algorithm used. The FV-1's built-in reverb algorithm is passable.
GFI system skylar is a stereo reverb pedal with 4 of their best reverb algos. I have the Specular Tempus which I absolutely love but it’s expensive and possibly overkill for your needs.
Keeley hydra is cool too

Hi! is it there a chance to include an external tap tempo somehow? I know the PCB is finished but there could be some way to incluide a tap tempo in the FV-1 algorithms so we can use a free pot pin to attach a switch...??
It’s fairly simple to mod these circuits to allow for tap tempo on one of the control inputs. There’s some schematic and info in my fv-1 dev board post. It takes some extra code work to format the ctrl input to read the footswitch fast enough for tap tempo sw. but now I’ve got it working very smoothly.
FV-1 Development Board (w TAP SW)
I finally finished my FV-1 Dev board. It's been really fun seeing what some of the other folks on here are doing with the FV-1 boards, so here's my contribution. I have added a momentary switch for tap tempo (or other functions), and an LED controlled by the DACR output for monitoring tempo...
