@cortex have your tried the multiplex?  It's filtered
Like an analog delay, I think it sounds great.  Also the hamlet+ is pretty great too.  Definitely both digital, but just great delays.  If you are looking for a DMM though, there really is nothing quite like it.

It's really up to Brian if he wants to do something like that.  I don't think that is what everyone is suggesting.  Just that there are a lot of reasons to be patient.

Problem is, if you get a lot of boards done, and there is a major problem, you've just lost a LOT of money, so it's better to get a proto board done first, THEN order the big batch.

Yeah and for chips that are not exactly easy to come by.  Even if the boards are perfect it could take some time to sell them. 

It will come.  The size of this thread alone shows how much demand there is.  I think Brian actually did a great thing switching to a 4x3008 layout as well.  Really well timed because 3008s have really become near impossible to get your hands on lately.

I have a DBD proto from last year(2x3008s) and it sounds awesome.  Brian knows this circuit well, I'm sure the next incarnation will be more than worth the wait.

I just finished populating my upper decker and I realized I only have mounted pots for it. 

This has me wondering if it is safe to solder to the solder side of the board.  I'm confident with the through hole parts, but I'm thinking I may just rip a trace clean off mounting the pots or even the wires on the underside.

I have always used the solder lug style with self etched pcbs in the past.  I've just been spoiled by Beans fine boards for a while now and it never even crossed my mind when ordering for this build. 

Any suggestions?

nice work man

That's awesome.  I just did an inventory and I'm starting to accumulate these.  What else is worth building with the 3008?

Looks like a rotary switch to me, too.
For a potentiometer it would point a bit below 0.

Edit: The manual confirms this.

I stand corrected.  A two position rotary... Why?  Are they more reliable than switches?

Ok maybe I'm blind,  is there a switch in that pic I posted?

I was looking an a newer DMM.  Seems they don't have a switch anymore.  I see what you guys are saying though.  The DBD has a switch just like the early DMM, and modulation control in a pot.

Ok so another question on the Dirtbag.  No, not when is going to be released.

On my current dirtbag(which is awesome) I have a switch for vibe/chorus.  Is it worth putting a pot here like the original?  If so what kind of pot assuming a linear pot, but which one 10k, 100k, 1M?

Yeah I did and crazy enough he acknowledged a mistake on his part and he will be send ing out the other two.  Good customer service is so hard to come by these days, I'm almost knocked over when I get it!

They do look NOS though rather than pulled from something, so maybe no need to worry about the dates... will see.

I already have a problem, the auction was 2 peices for $12:50, ordered 2 for $25.00 meaning 4 pieces, and guess what, I got two in the mail, not 4.  sigh.

Any BBDs I have gotten my hands on have been recycled.  The only matching ones I have are fake MN3005.
