help with OCTAGON MULTI EFFECT

[Matoni]

Hey all,
My only problem with this pedal is in the shimmer reverb setting (the main reason i built this pedal). THere is a very small almost delay between when I hit the strings and when the note gets heard through this setting on the pedal. Is this a chip problem or did I solder something wrong. Please let me know.

Thanks so much in advance for your help

If you mean a 5 to 10ms delay, then that's normal. Everything that goes thru the FV-1 gets delayed by some amount. If you put the MIX knob at noon, then you get 50% dry signal with no delay and 50% wet signal which will have some amount of delay that depends on the algorithm.

Did you build it exactly per the build docs?

I had the mix pot up too high. Thanks for your help!!

Well that was easy. My work here is done.
