Delete thread feature
We should have a delete thread feature, for stupid posts like this one. Originally, it was a eqd time shadow wishlist request before I knew that the circuit is impossible, and I also have a microcosm request as well. It would be nice to delete that because it is an unreasonable and unrealistic...

is it impossible?

maybe it is more possible to do this new version?

oh hey! this one is only$200 instead of $800 or whatever the first edition was hahahaha
Time Shadows Subharmonic Multi-Delay Resonator — EarthQuaker Devices
This joint collaboration between EarthQuaker Devices and Death By Audio is a three mode delay pedal with an envelope controlled sub-octave filter delay, a dual delay where each repeat simultaneously shifts up and down with each regeneration, and a multi-delay regenerating filter. It features user as

If anything it's harder because I'm guessing the preset functionality uses a separate chip from the FV-1.
(and it's still equally illegal to dump and copy the code in the original pedal, but writing an FV-1 program from scratch with similar functionality and sound is doable by someone smarter than me)

At least now it is more financially feasible for someone buy one and open it and see what’s going on inside.
I'm merely making a backup.
This is all hypothetical and I'm not suggesting anyone should rip someone's fv-1 code.
I know it's absolutely immoral to copy fv-1 code. It's certainly illegal to profit from it and at minimum a darker shade of grey to distribute it freely. But, there's no terms of service or license to (most) pedals.
What about an instance where someone owns a pedal and ports it's code over to a diy build? I have a few fv-1 based effects that I use 1 preset on that I'd love to combine to a 3 present build. Or copies it to hear it outside of the original circuitry in order to develop a similar program for diy use? With fv-1 builds that have other processing occuring in the box, I'm hard pressed to see how one could mimic it without doing something similar.
I don't mean to cause a stir or derail this thread but where does the level of ownership stop?

Pretty much guaranteed it is, same platform as their other recent 4-knob-with-presets FV-1 pedals (Spatial Delivery V3, Aurelius, Ledges)
Probably just digipots then?

Turns out the 4-knob version of the EQD-DBA Time Shadows is a bit more than just their vanilla FV-1 platform. The 4-knob version adds a PIC16F1776 controller to memorize six unique user-programmable presets - recalling the TIME, SPAN, FILTER, EQD/DBA toggle and expression insert assignments. I don't have a 3-knob version available, but I'm confident it is virtually the same as the 4-knob version, but without any programmable presets.
Should easy enough to pull the EEPROM and copy the algorithm(s). Tracing the rest of it and getting at the PIC code presents a greater challenge.
