Anyone tried the new cabintech delay module? It looks cool but it am pretty sure its out of my wheelhouse.

There’s a beta test thread here: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/digital-bbd-concept-looking-for-comments-and-beta-testers.18909/

Some serious health issues have derailed my big plans for these things for the moment, but my prototype build sounds phenomenal and I had a blast working with Mark at Cabintech. I found it very easy to work with, but I already had a few DIY utility modules on hand that meant I never had to mess with breadboarding.

Test fixture:

Top row: LFO freq, LFO depth, Feedback depth

Middle: Left channel (tap 4) stereo image soundstage pan, Master delay time, Right channel delay times for taps 1-3.

Bottom: Right channel dry mix, Taps 1-3 wet mix, Input gain.

They could have used a clock fanning chip for the clock rather than bus three components of it :D
All the control inputs are straight up analog, so doing stuff like that is pretty simple in many cases. For more specialized cases you can burn new code and flash it remotely, which is how we implemented the panning feature.
 
I can build with the best of them but when it comes to programing it's above my pay grade. I just thought it looked cool and was curious.

It comes with several excellent ready to go programs, you needn't mess with that aspect at all. I didn't do any actual programming, just loaded one new test one into my unit remotely via a USB appliance they sent me.

No programming required. If you have built a BBD delay then you already know how to use the 3680. We are putting together some sample circuits to help bootstrap the process and will make them available. Also getting ready to release new firmware with tap-tempo support; almost no effort to use it, just hook up a switch and it just works. Lots more details coming on that in the beta testing thread (see above).
