Dirtbaby - First build of 2015

[LaceSensor]

Hi

Populated the board yesterday, and got it boxed up today, so officially completed on the 1st January 2015
Its the Dirtbaby- I was lucky that someone gave up their PCB for me to try having missed the limited run

I think my PT chip isnt the cleanest; I have about 20 from Tayda that all suck a bit / motorboard on long(er) delay times.
I will try and get a legit clean sounding PT before I do any side by sides, but suffice to say it does cop the vibe of a real Memory Man
The modulation is particularly nice, and the Rate control is a welcome addition.
The only mods I made were to have a 100kb delay control, with a 220k resistor in parallel (for about 70k) allowing for longer delay times.
Oh, actually, I also used polarised caps for the 2.2uF; hopefully I got them the right way round - I just compared to the DEM schematic and went from there. The one connected to the depth control is definitely right anyway
I chose to wire it for true bypass.

For the graphics I just tried to ape the real deal again. Also, this time I went for a landscape orientation with top mounted jacks. Previously with the Dirtbags I had built them portrait; thanks for the inspiration from some other Dbag builds for that.

Here are the money shots:

Insanenly tidy and beautiful

thanks dude

Snap! Great build, tidy looks all around, the works! Goodness in a box!

[Hogharry]

The layout just looks perfect. Lovely build.

[chordball]

Looks nice! I'm anxious to hear some sound clips of this one.

[selfdestroyer]

Wow this looks great. Looks like it fit perfectly in the 1590BB. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

Been slowing down on the pedal front... but damn I need to build this one!

[Guybrush]

Great work on all fronts. Really impressive.

[catfud]

Wow, impressive build, also very much looking forward to hearing this.

[LaceSensor]

cheers

I might do a shorter delay time comparison
longer delay times my PT2399 doesnt sound so hot.

the filtering in general on this feels pretty minimal though ie there is a fair bit of noise, but again this might be exacerbated by dodgy pt chip...

Looks fantastic! Would love to hear a demo!

[GrindCustoms]

Nice one!

Very interested to hear that circuit too, Brian is totally owning the PT2399.

.....very nice.
