Well, I had this project "staged" in my workbench (drilled, pots install, parts all pulled) and was planning to whittle away at it between today and tomorrow.
I went out during my lunch break and soldered the FV-1. Then at 2:30pm my internet went out. Wasn't restored until just about 30 minutes ago.
So I was pretty much dead in the water with work. Everything I do, including all the cloud based tools we use are useless if the internet was down.
I won't say I was too disappointed to have to cancel a couple of meetings
I went and finished my DMD-2 build instead.
So I'm still trying out some different delays to see which one might be the best for my buddies acoustic rig that he asked me to build him.
I was eying and waffling on the DMD-2 then @Betty Wont pushed me over the edge. Anyone that has hand wired over 5000 pedals I'm gonna listen to
Great build, pretty easy despite a moderately high parts count. I think this may be the most 1u E caps I've ever put on a single board.
The cheek clencher is always soldering that FV-1. This is my 3rd one and it went pretty smooth and looks the cleanest of all the ones I've done so far. I think I'm getting the hang of it. I bit of my OCD kicking on making sure all the e caps lined up correctly.
Not sure the DMD-2 is the right one for my buddy but it's a great sounding delay. I was testing it side by side with the Magnetron, which sounds warmer and has less modulation control. Then I was running the Magnetron into the DMD-2 and getting some cool dual delay sounds. I'm not sure the Magnetron is right one either but I'm leaning that way, I'm thinking I might build the Cataclysm to check out. Maybe the D3Lay as well. (So much for not not building anymore digital delays hahaha..or overdrives...what I thinking?)
