cool reverb apart from switch spdt 'pop' issue

[quad]

Thank you.   A couple of things left to take care of. First off, I've decided to replace these jacks with something of better quality. I had trouble with one of these casual jacks the other day. It wasn't making contact very well and you can't have that, especially in a live situation. (i'd need quite a lot of these to upgrade the rest of my pedals)

What would be the optimal trim pot value to replace the 1M output resistor and smooth out any changes in output volume?

By the way, the guts:

100k should be  ok ..

testing new web phone thingy,

[R O Tiree]

Yes, Paul (chromesphere) used 100k very succesfully. It will probably be quite happy with a 47k as well. If you've got one to hand, could you try it for us?  Thanks.

[chromesphere]

Yeah 100k was enough for me.  At 100k the vol nob hangs around 75% most of the time. 
Now the mailbag video is out of the way, I will be uploading the build report and sound demo, and for those thinking about building this effect, a video about the 'mystery' reverb giveaway You will want to stay tuned for that one!

It's been a while... but finally I took the time to finish it. I'll get my mic out and record some sounds out of this thing. Oh, right, there's a slight increase in volume indeed. A trim pot on the output will take care of that.

nice pedal man..

not sure on the wallpaper though..

Sorry, I had no 47K's at hand, but 100K works just fine. If you trim it down half way, you still get unity, which means 47K should also do the trick (but don't take my word for it, I didn't actually measure it precisely before I closed it off). It's a very tight fit, I'm actually surprised all the stuff made it in. A little bit of force had to be applied on the screws.

Build report has been uploaded, hope you like it!

cool...nice hot water cylinder you got there..

that switch should be really obvious as a 'bright' boost......

is the fet in the right way....diodes?..i'm sure youve checked...but its easy to miss something like that in the excitement of getting it built.....

Yeah pretty funny typo! lol

Oh, i asked about that about a week ago after i recorded the build report.  At the start of the sound demo i straighten that out.  It was a busted solder joint which i fixed, all working as it should now.

[deadastronaut]

ok cool. 

those boards of mikes are great aen'nt they.....nice and easy to work with,.

[chromesphere]

Sound demo time Next video will be the 'giveaway'.  Ill post that in a few days time:

No need for that. I just PM'd you my address 

[deadastronaut]

morning guys, just to clarify...

so that 1M to ground on the output has gone now...and been replaced by 47k-100k volume pot?...


: also i was just thinking about having a 'fully wet'' signal (no dry) coming out too...just for an added ambientness option.....thoughts?.

YES YES YES.    was going to do this to mine. In the way slacker explained here:

[deadastronaut]

^ yep, that is exactly what inspired the thought..!.  ...be a nice option.

[chromesphere]

^nice idea!  Wonder if theres enough room for one more knob in my build

oh yeah, heres the 'giveaway'.  PCB from R O Tiree.  bit of fun I thought, hope you like it. 

Is Mike allowed to enter?  Mike, do you feel like making yourself a PCB

Paul

[deadastronaut]

yeah i'd like the 'fully wet' control too...5 knob 1590b?...hmmmm...easy...

its probably a pretty easy mod....i'm sure mike (R O TREE ) will chime in on that ....hopefully.

[R O Tiree]

Vol pot and DRYMIX pot mods complete. You'll see from the Layout file that the DRYMIX mod is slightly less tidy than my usual OCD would dictate... I've been trying all evening to re-route it without tearing the whole thing apart and starting again. So one of the pads for the DRYMIX pot is away from the other 2... Anyway, here are the new files for v1.5:

Cool contest, Paul!

[chromesphere]

Thanks John!  I do the odd 'giveaway' now and then on my channel, its a bit of fun.  Interesting to see what people are guessing as far as which reverb is which too. Would love to give you more details but dont want to spoil it, ill post on here exactly how i recorded them when its over.
