Delay Modulation Boards

[Timko]

I'm finishing up my Sagan Delay, and plan on ordering one of MB's new Reverb PCBs for 1590G enclosures to include in the same box (because it's tiny).  I am planning on also including a modulation board.  I used one of 1776's boards in my Multiplex Delay (which sounds great BTW), but I was curious if there are any other options out there for modulation.  I haven't managed to find one, but wanted to see if anyone suggested others to look into.

I know that GCFX has one (see link)

I have one of the 1776 Modulation boards kicking around (I think). If you want I can take a look for it an send it your way. Just Pm me and let me know.

I used the Grind Customs PLFO mentioned above for my Sagan Delay. It works great.

If you wanted to go crazy, you could look at the schematic for the 4ms Tremulus Lune, which is similar to most of the LFO boards out there, but with more pots. I'm not sure if modulation on delay needs that many controls, but it might be worth experimenting with.

Ah yes, I forgot about the PLFO from GC.  That's also a great option.  I am placing an order with them as soon as they are have the Colorsound Superbender available, so I may pick this up as well!  Thanks for the suggestion.

The standard modulation seems to be the speed and depth controls.  The Multiplex has the unique echo bend feature on a stomp switch that's really cool too.  Without going bonkers with modulation (which I think should be subtle) like on the Lune, are there other types of modulations that are occasionally used?

During the proto of the Sagan Delay I too used a PLFO from GCFX and I also tried a 1776 Modulation board. Both worked great.

There is also this etchable one that was floating around

I recently built a multiplex echo and turned the r7 into a 1M pot on the modulation board. This gave me a lot of fine tuning abilities. The modulation sound excellent when it is dialed way back.

I'm looking to use the PLFO from Grind Customs.  Did anyone opt for any of the wave shape controls on this, or just the depth and speed controls?

I did mine straight from the BOM.

The build doc said you can jumper the shape together, add a switch, or use a pot.  I assume you jumped the sine wave pad to the middle pad, and not the square wave?

Correct
