Hydra 4-Head Delay

[KR Sound]

Well this guy turned out pretty cool and it’s definitely my favorite echo/delay I’ve made so far. Everything went together really smoothly and I based the graphics off of an old Hawk 5-head reel to reel echo unit.

I do have one issue- the bypassed signal has all the treble cut out. If I turn it on and set everything to zero except for the volume, it sounds like it should. Is there something I did wrong?

Nice graphic!
The thin lettering turned out great

Thanks! I wasn’t sure how it would work with the water slide paper, but it worked out perfectly.

Did you do the surface mount soldering? I have one sitting in a box that I haven't started. I bought it last year when they were not offering a pre-soldered version due to shortages. Wish I had waited. My iron died and then life has stopped me from building anything for months.

I did not do this one and bought it pre-soldered, but I’ve since purchased a surface mount practice kit and and am getting pretty decent at it. Hopefully you can get back at it soon.

I am so totally stealing that idea of black graphic around the switches!

Looks fantastic.

Very clean build.

Dude your graphics are the best I have seen, I love that look, I am going to have to look into this water slide thing now, I have avoided it for this entire time. But your build is awesome, minimal, and BAD ASS.
