Again, a pedal for my friends means a pedal done up. Tried some ideas with spray paint, and I discovered that the clear coat makes marker run, but the overall effect turned out okay I think. A bit busy in the design. I should have kept the pedal name between the two rows of knobs.
This one works in columns: left governs modulation provided by a wave form generator (XR2206): knobs are rate of modulation, extent of modulation wave expressed (mislabelled as mod volume), and square/sine wave switch. Middle column governs the delay, knobs are delay volume, time, and feedback/ repeats, with a wet/ dry switch. Right column is master volume and fuzz (which is I think is just a gain).
Foot switches from the right are bypass, fuzz, and momentary self-oscillation. I rewired the fuzz to bridge the modulation extent pot on pins one and three so that it governs modulation on/off. Much more useful than a fuzz switch since cutting fuzz drops the volume and you have to adjust the volume pot.
As usual, the Moonn off-board wiring is a bit messtacular what with the crossed board ins/outs, external grounds, and the all-offboard LEDs. I also misdrilled the enclosure a bit so the orientation is a bit canted, probably because my midline was off. 4 stars for that--although I'm not super clear on whether the stars are for the build experience, the PCB design, or the builder implementation.
Overall, one of my stated top five pedals. Evocative dreamlike delay and modulation fun times with lofi tinges. Highly recommended.
