Title: Blockhead?
Post by: Haberdasher on May 20, 2010, 12:42:34 AM
Just wondering what to expect.  I really want to build a delay but I don't know whether to start planning for an Aqua or the Block.

Anything you can tell us?

Well, the project keeps evolving so I haven't really locked down the design. At first, I wanted to strip down a Rebote, add modulation and Tap Tempo using the PTAP stuff. But, there are already several well done designs like this. So, I've been knocking my head around some newer ideas, like an analog/digital hybrid or a parallel digital delay kind of thing (there has been some discussion of this recently on DIYstompboxes to emulate tape echo).

Of course, any feature requests that people make I will take into consideration.

Something like this (http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Keeley-Modded-Boss-DD3-Digital-Delay-Guitar-Effects-Pedal?sku=423033) would be cool.  Of course I have no idea if that is doable....but it has the "anolog" switch & a loop.  Pretty neat.

if you had a DIY delay with tap tempo it would be incredible!!!
