Can someone suggest a good delay project with a wet/dry control?

Hey folks.  I was hoping someone might know of a good delay effect that has a control for mixing in delay to the clean signal (like the boss DD series, for example).  I built the Cave Dweller, but it has a 'fixed' effect level.  I also built the Ersatz Verbeen and it does has a control to dial in dry signal (as opposed to dialing in wet) but it has seriously low output and attaching a booster daughterboard to the circuit just distorted it to crap.  My next idea was to rebuild a Cavedweller but add a Split-N-Blend daughterboard.  Might work.  Does anyone know of a good project with the dial-in-wet control I am looking for?  Thanks!

Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle.

ALL such projects will necessarily have to include a mixing stage for combining wet and dry.  Whether they make the combining fixed or variable is a designer decision, buy ultimately fixed level can be easily transformed into variable.

I've made a few Tonepad Rebote 2.5 units for myself, and they work dependably.  The Cave Dweller can be made to have mix/blend control, but if you need to have it planned out for you, the Rebote does that.  Same PT2399 engine underneath.

"a control for mixing in delay to the clean signal"

isn't that 'level' on a delay pedal? can't imagine using/making a delay pedal without that. are there really delay pedals without it? the cave dweller has a control for that, no? anyway, ECHO BASE is a winner, again PT2399, but a great use of that chip.

Hi,dude!
I built a Rebote 2 delay prototype around a month ago.I was amazed with the thing(probably because it is my first delay pedal,diy by that).I quite liked the sound of it-the repeats I think match quite closely to the original.Yeah there is a bit of noise on higher delay levels(typical thing for pt2399 delays) but it isn't really bothering(at least to me).
If you would like to give the rebote 2.5 a try.It's an overall improved version.They say it has better filtering a.k.a. less noise.
Cheers!
