Hey folks. Built a GGG pt 80 a few months back (http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=129&category_id=7&vmcchk=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=45) and love it for the most part. My only complete is the level of warmth it introduces into my signal. So much of the top end is rolled off that its hard to use for a lot of applications. Was wondering if there was anywhere in the circuit where I could replace a capacitor or something to brighten up my tone? Thanks!

Digital delay is always a compromise, but this is well designed, and for guitar.

I'd re-re-recheck all resistors and capacitors, make sure a 1.5K and 15K or etc didn't get in the wrong holes.

Then:

On the PCB, next to the text "gadgets", is a 1K resistor.

Take one end of this resistor out of the PCB and see how it sounds.
