The Duellists a dual seabed delay

I'd like to start off with saying I would not recommend anyone else to do this LOL. It was a pain in the butt. As Ph1l stated, there is a better way more than likely with the FV-1 chip.
That being said, I love the circuit in parallel. It's simply two seabeds with a series and parallel switch . Parallel, which does give you more dry signal, works out great.
You cannot use true bypass in parallel mode. It feeds the I'll put it on to the input causing it to have a Runaway feedback loop. So I decided to just break the wet signal at the wiper of the level pot. This was already going to be wired so that I could Jam everything in there so it worked out fine. Except for the spaghetti LOL. I have never done so much wiring on a pedal. I tried to reduce wiring as much as possible.
The graphics is the American version of the poster of Ridley Scott's film the Duelists from 1978. It seemed appropriate to me and I really like the movie. 20260916_174339.jpg 20260916_174328.jpg 20260916_170216.jpg
 
I don't know my way around FV-1 hardly at all. But that is probably how it should be done. IF... you can have isolated repeat controls like this. It would be better to have one dry signal and two delay signal levels with separate rate and repeat controls.
One big circuit board that fit into this size enclosure would be great. And of course the ability to run parallel.
I am having fun cranking up a Gatordrive in front of it and setting a slap back and and huge stadium type delay in parallel!
