Another thing I have noticed is the modulation doesn't seem to be a sine wave but more squarish... It goes up quick, it stays up for a while, it goes down quick, it stays down for a while, repeat

Anybody else notice this?

Sure, thanks. I was just hoping to define the line between expected noise and excessive noise and whether either of those included the oscillation sounds rather than just hiss.

You are correct and I forgot to mention that detail... It's really only on the longest delay times when the switch is to the left. I have not tried it on a battery but I am on a PedalPower2+. Don't get me wrong, the noise is manageable, I just wanted to making sure the levelnof it was by design. Glad to hear I am not alone

I built the Choral Reef and it sounds pretty good. I know there is some hiss associated with longer delay times. When my Width knob goes past noon the hiss starts and then seems to go past acceptable at about 3oclock. At that point the hiss is too loud and there is also slightly audible oscillation, especially the more the feedback is cranked. Is this considered normal or has anybody else had the same experience?

How do you even get it in the case with the wire and cap hanging off the edge of the board?

I took mine apart and found the issue was just that one of the footswitch connectors was touching the middle lug of the output jack... It's alive now. Whew

Ok, sorry... I haven't built one of the new boards yet. I built my Choral reef last night as well and it too is all jacked up. I just get crakles and pops when turn knobs

It looks like your 47uf cap is in the wrong spot on the right side of your switch board.

Sounds like you need to get an auto center punch.

Your OPA2134 looks funny. You sure it's legit?

Looks like the domain name registration expired. Probably an accident.. I hope.

Anybody ever order off eBay or Alibaba and not get a fake?

I filtered ebay to US only locations and there was one for $15 from a US based parts place. I messaged them and they said they guarantee the part is new, genuine, and is the actual part pictured in the listing. The picture didn't look like a new part, more like a pull, so I did not buy it. It's the only one I've seen like that so far.

It's not just at full rotation, it's the whole left side if the dial. It gets a little less noticable the closer you get to the middle due to the clean being mixed in.

I actually like gatey, voltage starved sort of sounds, but I don't care for this particular flavor.

I've been watching Reverb as well and haven't seen any.
