PT2399 delay circuits have always served me well 
so far I’ve tried:
- Deep Blue Delay (Seabed)
- Magnetron (Magnetic Echo)
- Dark Rift (EQD Space Spiral)
- Aleph Null Tape Delay (effectslayouts mkI)
- DeadastronautFX Abductor II (4x PT2399)
I’ve always thought the Deep Blue was the unbeatable PT2399 option if you don’t want modulation, but I am a fiend for delays with modulation - and I reckon this Pelota 2 might be the winner for modulation out of all the PT2399ers I’ve tried so far.
This is my first Sheepylove build. the PCB layout is great, i like the unserious choice of fonts, and the faceplate design/option is fantastic w/ the integrated LED/indicator ‘lens’. super cool.
Easy build with nothing fancy required. only actives are TL072, LM358, PT2399 and an L78L05.
Highly recommend this project for anyone keen on a PT2399 delay, this one is probably my favourite so far.
i have no idea what the delay time range is on this, but it can go ridiculously long if you want it to. way longer than i would ever need.
in fact i think if i were to change / improve anything about this - i would either limit the maximum delay time (it's pretty degraded at super long times anyway), or some other way of making the delay time easier to dial in at faster rates, cos i did find it's a bit tricky to get the speed right when relying on visual cues with knob position/ (not that that really matters)
otherwise, great EQ balance, works well going into a lead channel, and absolutely excels at ambient cleans.
