Where can I find the BTDR-2H (long) IC called for in the BOM? This is for the IC2 component on the pcb. I checked small bear and tayda, to no avail. All I can seem to find are SMD reverb IC's. Thank you.

Thank you for your replies! I don't see the IC2 spot on the PCB. I am confused. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you zgrav. That's it. I assume the component lays on to of the diode and P2399. Should I put something in between them? You rock.

The brick mounts to the back side of the pcb with the potentiometers. I personally prefer the Short Decay brick in this circuit. The Belton brick has built in modulation that is exacerbated by the longer decay times. I find the modulation less desirable. Also, the Short Decay brick is more spring reverb and less ambient chamber sounding. If that's your thing.

Thank you Betty. Where would I find the short brick? Found a medium...

Thank you so much for your assistance! I may try all three. This is my 20th or so build, and my first modulation effect. I learned a lot from you all!I get mine at Small Bear. Very reputable source.Belton BTDR-2H Reverb Modules

I got mine (medium) on sale from Amplified Parts, which is the same company as "Antique Electronic Supply" that Benny_Profane linked to with the URL "tubesandmore".
Really, it should just rebrand as one coherent company with a matching URL.
I got "Medium" because that's what the BOM from another PCB supplier said to get; Said "only", which at the time being green and very new to pedal-building, I believed it even though I immediately wanted to experiment and try the long. Same PCB supplier said you must keep the dual-gang pot a dual-gang... so when I get around to finally building the damn thing I'm going to experiment with separate pots.
Definitely will be getting a long and a short version of the brick in future, maybe a couple as there's some hacks over at MadBean to take out the modulation... dicey, might ruin your €x₱€₦$iv€ brick, not recommended if you've only the one brick.
I'll also be mucking around with extending the PT2399's delay times, modulation, tap-tempo...

It’s super confusing isn’t it? I don’t understand it either.

On a bittersweet "note." I am making three of these in honor of a fallen friend. Two are going to his family. I ordered Long, Med, and Short. Thank you guys for the help!
