Dark Rift Delay

Finished this about a few weeks ago but just didn't feel like doing a report. But, I'm bored so you get a build report!

Let me preface that I have very little experience with these weird modulation type circuits. So this may be pretty tame for some of the guys builds I see here. Not sure how usuable it may be but this pedal blew my mind. There is a lot of weird fun to be had here. I'm still trying to figure out what is happening. But all I know is I love it.

Like some other reports, there is a bit of noise on the repeats. I haven't tried out any of the suggested fixes yet but it is something I will be trying.

Other than that it sounds great and is a lot of fun.

Turn the depth pot ccw and you just have a normal delay pedal. This one can do the weird and the normal. Great build!

Is the output jack not connected? or is that the output ground? or am i missing something?

the output jack can ground itself to the enclosure, ground wire not entirely necessary

Swapping in different PT2399s cleared this up for me. They're cheap enough that you can buy a bunch and audition them.

I keep one on my board and it pretty much lives with the depth knob at 0 and the repeats + time knobs fairly low as a normal slapback delay. But all you have to do is twist the depth knob to activate the woobly-doobly (technical term)... and this one can get pretty out-there.

Good idea, thanks. I do have at least half a dozen PT2399s in my drawer so I'll have to try that.
