T60 Reverberator: A Brick-less, FV-1-Free Reverb Pedal

[Ripthorn]

Since I was having so much fun playing around with PT2399's this summer, I also thought it would be fun to do a DIY reverb pedal that didn't use a Belton brick or FV-1. I know designs with those are plentiful and common, but I'm a cheapskate and didn't want to spend around $20 for a single component. Instead, I designed this pedal with 4 PT2399's and controls for size, mix, dwell, and a mode switch. The mode switch is subtle, and has a slightly different effect depending on the setting of the size control (it changes the ratio of the two longest delay stages as the size changes).

Some may say that the brick uses 3 PT2399's so why should we care? Well, with this design, you can tweak parts to your heart's content. Make delay times different, change filtering, change modulation rate or depth, add switches for all kinds of crazy things, whatever! Of course, the brick patent drawing, as well as merlinb's Equinox II were heavy inspirations, so it's not totally original, but it is provided to the DIY community free for personal, non-commercial use. I also have full build documentation, how it works, schematics, board layout, etc. over at my webpage for the project at https://scientificguitarist.wixsite.com/home/t60-reverberator. Have fun building!
