This was a special build for me. I few years back, Spotify turned me onto the band Plague Vendor and I became a big fan. I haven't been a fan of a band to this degree since I was in high school in the 90s. So, it's been a lot of fun. Anyways, I got the opportunity to meet the band after their show a few months back. Talking with the guitarist I offered to make him a pedal.
He currently uses a MXR Carbon Copy for a slap back delay on lead parts. He said that the CC was a little clean for his taste. Also, he used to use a boost at the same time but ditched it because it was difficult to turn both on at the same time. So, I thought a DM-2 with a boost would be a good alternative.
Luckily, I had two built up Aquaboys in my stash. I chose the JFET boost Barry had GPCB. I just had to move the feedback pot with some offboard wiring. Needed to shoehorn everything, but it worked. I might want to do a layout for a utility board at some point but this worked well. The graphic are no-film but I used a paint marker on the label to block in the white. Enclosure is mint green from Tayda.
