I've recently built a delay pedal and have a couple problems I hope u guys can help me with.

1. When on the pedal boost my dry and wet signal. I'm thinking I just need to add a resistor somewhere but not sure where. Output to the switch maybe?

2. I like the true bypas but I don't like that it turns off my repeats when I switch it off. If I connect the output of the effect to the bypass side of my switch would that let me repeats carry out even when I turn the pedal off?


Thanks guys!

Which delay pedal?

No, that will keep the effect on in effect and bypass mode. You need to add another switch for "repeat tails"


Thanks guys!
I just designed a new fuzz circuit! It almost sounds a little different than the last fifty fuzz circuits I designed! ;)

It's a pt2399 based lofi delay.

I just want to cut the volume of the entire pedal only when it's on. I'm using a 3pdt tru bypass switch.

I was assuming that if I didn't give the pedal input but gave it output when off it would have trails. How else would I do that?

Thanks Armd!

Which pt2399 based lofi design? If you post a schematic or a link to one....we can help.

Here is a link to the "Small Time" one of Merlin's creations.

I believe that this design leaves the "tails" feature on all of the time. Read this thread and you will come across switching the tails in and out.
