Cave dweller question

[Matt]

Is their any way to kill the dry signal on the cave dweller?

I'm no expert, but you'd probably have to cut a trace....

^if that is true, couldn't you hook that trace up to a switch? Give you both options..

[jimilee]

Technically you could but then you have to have a way to solder wires to a trace. Wonder if you couldn't just add a switch to an existing path somewhere like at a resistor.(edit) now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure there is a mix knob mod somewhere here, I wonder if you could modify that with a switch

I searched "cave dweller mix" in the forum but I couldn't find anything.  Anyone know if and how this can be done?

Check this out: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=4836.0, that might help a little. Also, there is a mix mod in the docs, but that is only for the CDII. If you really want to be sure, contact Brian, he'll know!

I found the cave dweller II before but I hadn't found the link you posted so thank you for that!

Unfortunately, unless im reading that wrong, it doesn't seem like it will help.  Those mods control the level of the delayed notes not the dry signal. 

I'll have to contact Brian like you said and see if their is any way to eliminate the dry signal from the output.

Also, if you want another building, Rej has the De Profundis with a mix knob already. Also gpcb has got the paramix.

Also gpcb has got the paramix.

This is basically what I had in mind.  When I was building the cave dweller, I used a 47n cap instead of the 4.7n.  The repeats were very dark, which I liked but the dry signal was also really dark.  That I didn't like.  So I thought I could eliminate the dry signal from the output of the delay and use a mixer of some sort for the dry signal.

Grab an audio probe and probe the pins of the PT2399. One of them, I think pin 13 or 12, is JUST the delayed signal. You'd have to basically switch the output cap so it connects there instead of Pin 14.

12 it is.  Thank you sir!
