Echo Base

[Mcknib]

This one's been in my pcb drawer for well over 7 years
For a single PT2399 delay it's sounds excellent added all the mods the runaway repeats footswitch is great for dub type sounds at medium delays all round a great little pedal, just a simple iron on toner transfer and a couple of clearcoats for the labelling I could have tidied a few things up cut the legs on that socketed resistor etc but hey ho looks good with the back on

Never mind, found it on MusicPCB. Too many PCBs that I need to own!!

Looks great! +1 on the knob choice and the backplate graphic.

How did you make the graphics btw?

Never mind, found it on MusicPCB. Too many PCBs that I need to own!!

The font for 'echo base' is tesla and alien league for everything else both are free fonts used gimp to edit etc then printed on toner transfer and ironed on basically etching without actually etching

The enclosure I just sanded with 180 then flat with 400 grit

It's a nice easy build lots of sounds with all the mods all worth doing the only mod I didn't do was the diode lift for humbuckers

The back graphic was just for the guy I did it for Lee at Greenmount studios I used to manage bands many moons ago he was the bass player in one called Middleman, I helped a little, he now runs his own recording studio the only one I think in the UK that still records on 2" tape

Middleman were total DIY did all their own vids etc and just didn't care about fame and fortune, primary talent wanted to sign them, they did a session at Maida Vale etc etc but it was all about the music and having fun even though they probably could have been massive they just preferred keeping their normality
