Hydra Delay

[SYLV9ST9R]

My Hydra build.
Nothing fancy but happy with it since I soldered the FV-1 myself
I was going to bang my head because everything was firing up but I didn't get any effected signal... until I put the L78L33 in

I recycled a black enclosure from another pedal I rehoused (because of a bad clear coat batch that crackled like crazy) and sanded it down to a smooth, yet industrial looking aluminum look. I left the baseplate black as it matches nicely with the faceplate.
I added a relay bypass (it's a bit crowded in there) and changed the Mix pot from a B50K to a A50K because I saw a lot of folks here liked it.
All and all a top quality effect, but we'll see how it fits in my playing as I have already a few delay options I like.

Awesome build man.
I have a few questions, how did you get that faceplate done?

This one is offered on the PedalPCB site, but there are numerous shops that can do it. AmplifyFUN makes some great ones.

Wow, that thing is loaded.
It looks great. I hope it gives your other delays a run for their money..
