Delay with a temporary switch?

[Dali]

Usually a Delay, has an ON/OFF switch that kill the delay if OFF.

Is there a delay at PedalPCB or an available modification that would add a "temporary input switch" that doesn't kill the delay when we set a long feedback for example?

For maximum flexibility maybe maybe it needs 3 switches:

1. Main ON/OFF
2. Input ON/OFF ( 1+2 ON is what you usually get with a single switch)
3. Momentary input when pressed even if the "2.Input is at OFF position"

Do I make sense?

If I understand correctly you're asking for a delay with a tails option (ie, you can turn the delay off and still hear the final repeats die out slowly, instead of stopping instantly)?

I wouldn't be surprised if that was possible with some of the delays available at PedalPCB. I did something similar with an Echo Base delay I built recently.

Do you have a demo of your creation or even something from some strangers that does what you describe?

At the very least, you will need a buffered bypass option (tails are not possible with true bypass), and you will have to be careful with noisy and/or self-oscillating circuits.

Here's an example of what I mean (the video should start at the right spot, but if not there are time stamps in the Youtube description):

I think what you're describing could be done pretty simply. For example, you could build the Seabed delay. You could wire a switch that breaks or connects the connection between IC1.1 pin1 and C5. (Keep the connection between IC1.1 pin1 and R4). You could simply leave C5 off the board and wire it hanging onto the switch. Breaking that connection would mean no input signal would go to the input of the pt2399.

So, you could use the regular stomp switch for main ON/OFF (#1 from your post). This is true bypass. Use a toggle or stomp switch to connect or disconnect IC1.1 pin1 to C5 for input ON/OFF (#2 from your post). Then a momentary stomp (#3 from your post) that is the same connection as #2, so that regardless of the state of #2, it connects IC1.1 pin1 to C5 when pressed. Hopefully I'm understanding what you're after correctly.

This is what benny referred to as buffered bypass. The 'buffer' when input to delay is switched off, is the signal going through IC1.1 and IC1.2.

It is shown here as the 'with tails' option. As described on this page, there is only one stomp switch, which is like #2 from your post. It acts like a regular on/off switch for the pedal, but even when it's 'off' the signal is still going through pedal, just no signal is going to the input of the pt2399.
