Recent build of the 1776 RADD. Gotta say I was really surprised at how much I like this pedal. I had concerns that I would not like the slight modulation inherent in these reverb bricks. Guess I've gotten spoiled by the reverb in my vintage Super Reverb and thought I might not like this. Boy was I wrong.
This thing sounds great. I read that some builds had oscillation issues using the 250kB duel gang pot for the decay so I subbed in a 100kb. Works perfect for me. Nice sweep and no issues. Honestly it sounds good at all settings. The tone control covers a nice range but doesn't get brittle.
Great pcb and an easy build. Artwork designed in Photoshop and acid etched then lacquered. NOS Rogan knobs. The board was designed for mounted pots but I wanted to use a different layout for the artwork.
Layering this on top of the Super's reverb and a touch of delay is a magical sound. Very happy with this.

sweet!
That looks AMAZING. Seriously one of the better looking I've seen. If I were to see one on a store shelf I would definitely plug it in and try it!
Right ON!! You completely knocked it out of the park! Wonderful art and etch. Gorgeous wiring. Very well done.
Wicked artwork and etch man, looks brilliant!
Oh man, I SO envy your resolve to shrinkwrap every pot lug... ;D
Just the icing on the cake!

That is one beautiful looking pedal. Absolutely stunning. Love those knobs!
That looks very cool. Kudos

can't wait to see more!
Great looking pedal in every way. The art work is awesome and that is an outstanding etch. I also love the textured surfaces you took the pictures on as they add a lot to the photos. Can't wait to see more of your builds.

That really is some great work! Beautiful!
Wow, an A+ in every way possible!
I have been mulling on which reverb circuit to build, and this is a pretty strong recommendation, so will have to further check this one out.
And thanks for including the info on the substitution.
The texture on that etch is stunning! And those knobs! Wow.
