Title: Reiterator Analog Delay
Post by: aflynt on June 21, 2011, 04:01:43 AM
Reiterator Analog Delay. Dual Aqua Boy boards built into a Pedal Parts Plus Psycho Green Vein 1790NS. I used the Cool Audio chips. I set the right side up for shorter slapback and the left side for a longer ambient delay. It sounds great. I love the way the echos dissipate and liquify into the background.

Dude, that's totally rad! I want one!

Thanks! I'm really liking the board mounted pots too.

That's awesome, I love how you did the ground wire!

That is awesome man...  8) Pleeeeze do a demo, I'd love to hear this in action

I like the grounding bus, very clean  work.

Thanks all! :)

I got the grounding bus idea from something Jack Orman posted somewhere. I was looking for a better way to do grounding on these dual pedal builds with lots of connections. I was connecting them all to the input jack before and things were just getting really spaghetti like. This way worked out really well. You just have to plan for some space for the bus wire when you do the enclosure layout.

P.S. - I'll try to do a demo vid sometime in the next few days.

That's awesome! I bet that thing sounds out of this world. I could totally use something like this with the option of going between short and long delays. Or combining them for crazy delay patterns. Great job!

That is a beautiful build. Great job!

Here's that video demo I promised:



Yeah... I need spend less time building pedals and practice more.  :-[

That is an impressive sounding delay. I was waiting for the part with both delays on and so glad you added it in the end. So much flexibility and it appears like it has enough delay time for what I need.

Yeah. The thing totally rocks. I've been using an MXR Carbon Copy, but this sounds so much more alive. The effect is almost reverb-like. With the mix all the way up like I have it at the end of the clip it sounds similar to the reverse delay from the Boss PS-2, but much less tinny.

"Daddy can we record knightrider???" lolz
Cool sounds man... those chops aint so rusty either, thanks for the demo! :)

I keep listening to your demo cause its just soo good! You should seriously post it in the audio/video demo section. I've heard people use the bounce back from a delay pedal to get crazy synchoronous patterns. I'm talking about what your doing at 2:28. Never heard anyone do it like that..I gotta figure that out!

love the pedal!

@bigmuffwizz,

It's like

I was actually attempting to rip off this:



I ustacould do it!

That's one fantastic sounding pedal.  What do the two smaller PCBs at the bottom do?

Yeah. Kudos to Madbean for such a fantastic sounding project!

The two smaller PCBs are Jack Orman's True Bypass PC Boards. It's a microprocessor controlled relay, triggered by a momentary switch. I'm a bit spoiled with them in all my builds now. There's generally much less mechanical noise when switching compared to a plain old 3PDT. The disadvantages are that they are more expensive overall and complicate wiring a bit.

I see, I haven't heard of those before.  I also noticed you used other madbeanpedals in the demo, which I really appreciate.  Were those before or after the Aquaboy (CE-2, Zendrive, Klon)?  Did you ever run into any issues with not having enough headroom using it together with other pedals (I assume the Aquaboy is running at 9V)?

Aaron can still chime in here, but I found that the lack of headroom is not really noticeable running only one v3205

I used a Serendipity with JRC4558D, a Sunking, and a Tonepad CE-2 all before the delay in the signal chain. The Aquaboys are running at 9V. I haven't noticed any problems with headroom, but I haven't tried it with a Rangemaster yet. In fact, it's a lot cleaner sounding than I thought it would be. Compared to my MXR Carbon Copy the repeats are darker and more diffused, but not really any more distorted.
