Something like the Carbon Copy

[comradehoser]

What about the aion Elysium/Ibanez em-5 echo machine?

I don't know about delay times and not really modulated, but it is a 3-knob delay that sounds great

Otherwise, moonn dromtydning! Just kidding, it's not 125b, it's complicated, and skews to ambient/experimental. But it is super fun

I don’t know how anyone could leave the trimmers at noon and say it’s ok. I gave up on calibrating the DM-3 for the night. At one point I got the bias nice and clean, but didn’t have luck dialing out the clock noise. Then I got the clock noise out, but it was mis-biased. Eventually it became pointless because my ears were ringing with clock noise after I unplugged it.

I might need to come up with some software solution for oscillator + oscilloscope.

That clock noise sticking in your ears after a while is a real thing.

Something that made me feel better was pulling out my boss dm2-w and taking a hard listen to the clock noise from that and resetting my expectations. I got the noise from my DM-3 build slightly lower than my Boss pedal and I was plenty impressed with that.

I’m under the impression that some perceptible clock noise is just a fact of life for bbd delays. I haven’t played a carbon copy, but I’m pretty sure I’ve read threads where people complained about the noise.

Thanks that’s helpful. This is my first BBD delay build, and I’ve never owned one so I didn’t have something to compare.

I’m pretty sure that this is not helping my case- having the delay control leads crossing over the mix leads. I’ll try separating those.

Also, I noticed that the DM-3 had the same “fizzle” that I was concerned about with the seabed. The lowest m6 interval on the guitar (low E and 3rd fret A-string).

My full of shit thinking on this is that it may just be an artifact created by difference tones or the analog feedback path rather than noise from an IC.
