Just what I was looking for!It’s pretty close but not the same pedal (I don’t have the Boonar to compare too, only what I’ve heard of it online). There are some magic sounds with different combos of delay heads activated (I love 1, 2 & 4 and 1, 3 & 4 engaged).
Hydra Delay
Finished up my hydra build yesterday and it sounds great. I’ve only played it for a short period and it seems there are loads of delay sounds available in it that I need to explore. I got the FV-1 pre soldered. I also decided to live dangerously and not test it before I boxed it. Luckily I got...forum.pedalpcb.com
I added a momentary oscillation mod to mine which is okay but doesn’t work as well as it does on a PT2399 based delay. It works best with positions 2 + 4 engaged and works subtly with any other combos.
I also put pin 3 of the mix knob on a switch to always keep some dry signal mixed with the effect. This if from @jubal81
I’m not sure this is one that can be modded to be anymore like the Boonar as it’s all proprietary DSP. Still it’s definitely close enough IMO. Mine will never leave my board.
There is this build and sound report on YouTube. I don’t think it shows it off as well as it possibly could.
Let me know if you want me to do a quick recording of a few sounds it can do.
@JamieJ if you were to build it again would you do the momentary oscillation mod? Just got my board today and was thinking about doing a double pedal with the hydra and spatialist.... but it will be a little bit before I get to that.
That's a better way to demonstrate that pedal. (No reverb). I wasn't interested in it before but I am now. Will see how my first few projects go.
I had 5 minutes to put this together earlier so excuse the shoddy playing. It’s a strat > duocast > hydra > bass breaker 7.

Yeah my amp had got a bit of a hum to it which is annoying. I really want to upgrade it to a Princeton.@JamieJ - i'm used to the 'ol 60hz on all my equipment (and fridge, and dehumidifier, and fluorescent lights, etc), so at first I was thinking something's off on my end while watching your vid. You got that 50hz sound!
