HI
I built one of these, barely hear any real change in the rotation of the DWELL control.
Can you comment on how you find it?

I mean it sounds good but its a bit of a one trick pony in that respect.

cheers

Something may be wrong with yours. Mine has full range controls and is just as versatile a fender outboard unit.

It all works there just not much difference in the dwell

All the other controls do quite a lot

I've watched some videos of original units ands its probably correct
Seems the other controls especially the blend has the biggest impact on the sound output of the unit

to be fair watching OPs video its clear you need the blend below 9 oclock to really bring the reverb back from splashiness
So I think mine is working as expected, FTW

Yeah its super splashy and I have the smaller tank also. For me i keep the level around 12 or 1 oclock and then every other control almost off. I will eventually look into mods to lessen the verb when I have more time.

Hrm. Mine is super splashy and drippy when cranked (I play surf so that's a plus), but I can can dial it all the way out, and get a subtle built-in type reverb below noon.
I used the long tank.

Mine can get splashy really above 10 o'clock or so on the dwell knob but I think I really depends on the amp settings that its running into. On my blackface set clean with headroom to spare to will be less splashy I find. Run it into my tweed that is naturally more mid focused, compressed and lower headroom and it gets dripping faster. And I'm like dan in that I keep the volume around 12-1 o'clock.

Great build and it sounds great.!

I do have a nit to pic about describing reverb "drip". I see the term used alot but it's one of those things that you have to hear to really know what it is and that "it is a very mysterious and powerful device ...and it's mystery is only exceeded by it's power."

Let's all become one with the Drip...

wondering we all did differently then. Can you confirm the potentiometer values you used for the various controls, especially the DWELL?

thanks

HI

I found out I made an error, hence the dwell control wasnt working right

I had R10 as 390r not 392k
Changed to right value, boom, working perfect.

cheers
