Finally got all the parts together for Madbean's Cavedweller. Swapped out the standard 50kB 'Time' pot for a 100kB, thus doubling the delay time. I fucking love this delay. It can go from subtle reverb to full on frozen clouds. I plan on ordering another pedals worth of parts to make another. Seriously one of my favorite digital delays that I've tried. It acts really, really analog which is awesome.
The screwed on plate is where I drilled a hole for an expression pedal input. And then I decided I liked it how it was.
Got a few of those BazzFuss circuits from culturejam (RADICAL dude!) and had it wired/ boxed up in 45 minutes from opening the envelope until testing it out (etched the box yesterday, so yeah. that took time). It's pretty awesome! Managed to comfortably fit it in a 1590A. Didn't have any A100K's so I used a B100K, but it still sounds great. Especially grindy in a blender!

Thanks man The pedals I build for myself keep getting more and more specific haha
I'm also building a delay at the moment! Mine is GOLD. So we are in the same boat for DELAY COLOR OFFENSIVENESS
I think it would be awesome if one of you also got some chorus color offensiveness going, i.e. not blue! I'm thinking hammered orange or hot pink sparkle. But I just built a blue one myself so can't say much!

MOOG KNOBS FOR THE WIN
That looks awesome. Love the knobs The Super Hard On drawing on the inside is funny too
After listening to Madbean's YouTube demo I will definitely be building one of these. How is that time knob mod working out for you? Is it easy to dial in the right tempo? Any noise issues at long delay times?
Time mod has worked out fine. I've not really used it in a super musical context yet, but it seems like you could dial it in pretty alright. I will mention that once engaged it really does cut some high end off distortion being fed through it. It oscillates really easily too, but I love that!
