Has anyone built a Catalinbread EchoRec and a DLSIII clon?

Hi!

I really like the way those pedals sound. I think the delay is awesome.

Has anyone tried to build any of these?


Thanks!

The Echorec is a digital - you won't be cloning that unless you get the code.

The Echorec uses the Spin FV-1, so if you got hold of one you could copy the code for the delays, the switching possibly uses a micro controller though and you almost certainly won't be able to copy the code from that, so you'd have to write your own to do the same thing or replicate it some other way. You'd need to buy some hardware to copy and write the code and you'd probably have to get boards made as the FV-1 is only available as an SMD part. All that's after you've traced the circuit out, made your own layout etc etc.

This is definitely one of those pedals that's not worth cloning even if you had the skills to do it, just buy one.
