Aquaboy vs Man O War

[slowpogo]

I've built the Man O War DX and the Total Recall delays and love them both.

I was interested in building the Aquaboy Deluxe too but at first glance the PCB looks extremely similar to the Man O War. How are they different? They seem to have the same feature set so I assume it comes down to a slightly different voicing.

Can anyone compare and contrast these two delays and if I have one do you really think the other is worth building?

The only thing that matters is, you haven't built it yet. Bwahahahaha But seriously, I have no idea, you'd have to look up the original pedals and read the docs.

I once owned a DM2 and from what I recall it's on the darker and grittier side of analog delay. But the PCB topologies are so similar between these two, if not labeled I would assume the Aquaboy was the Man O War...all the chips, pots, switch are in the same place. I know that's potentially a superficial similarity but that makes it feel like a redundant build. I'll probably do it anyway

If you check out the build doc for the Man O War, Brian does a little breakdown of what is different about it from the DM2 and the MM.
