CHASM REVERB

[deadastronaut]

ok, here it is...after a few months of frustration and breadboarding and getting help from samhay/slacker/merlin/ etc etc...thanks guys.

introducing the ''CHASM REVERB''

i finally nailed this bugger...and thought it deserved its own thread. get your popcorn ready....

i was going to release the pdf's only by pm due to being ripped off recently by some brazillian @#$%er (long story)..but i can't be arsed with all that hassle. and goes against my sense of shared community etc.

and seems a shame to not share due to bad apples with no morals at all.....

however,  I will seriously re-iterate...this is NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE...(as some @#$%ers don't seem to understand this phrase ..you have been warned.



anyway i have a batch of pcb's for this if people want them, £8.50 GBP each. (includes worldwide post/paypal fees)  pm me ok.

here are the files to print off your own pcb too....just don't take the piss ok!!!...you have been warned...seriously.

Sweet Reverb Rob.
Very nice indeed I love the tails thats great.
I've never used the bricks. Are they fragile? Hard to work with? How and where is it mounted?
Thanks
Rich
BTW wheres the best place to source belton bricks pls? Uk based

[BuGG]

Excellent!   Can not wait!! 

[Maik]

Damn Rob, another "must have"!
Sounds realy cool, thanks for sharing.
But where is the tone poti?
And what´s that Chorus?

[therealfindo]

Is this true bypass?

[deadastronaut]

nope..it has tails ..

being buffered is a good idea anyway imo...as most people will have this at the end /or near end of their chain...

i had this on a TB breadboard so i know the buffered bypass is the same sound as TB when tested...

Just yankin' your chain.. have been following the thread

You're right, buffered at the end of the chain is not a bad thing..

Nice demo Rob - looks like it does everything you set out to do, and I can't hear a hint of pop.
Any chance you could post a schematic of the final version? I have lost track, and can't really face wading back through the other thread.

Now, for a Mk III, shall we aim for some modulation and a kitchen sink switch?

Oh - Rich, the bricks are pretty robust. You can break the pins off then (don't ask), and probably cook them if you try really really hard, but are no worse than any other IC. You can get them from das Musikding (http://www.musikding.de/Accutronics-BTDR-2H-L_1). Postage should take about a week.

Thanks Rob, Sam, Merlin, and all others who contributed to this!

Rob, I'll send you a PM for purchasing a couple of boards.

Rob, that´s a great pedal. Etched box, right? If it is, I´ve never seen a tidier etch. Ever!!

Hate to ask, because of what you commented about the ripoff, but: Will you release a schem? Or is it in the other thread? I always like to see a schem when building.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks and sounds great!

Does anyone know where I can get a brick in or near New Zealand? All the websites I've checked work out at around NZ$30 per brick, with about NZ$10 of that being shipping...

Try tubesandmore.com   They are around $14. I don't know what shipping to NZ would be.

Great looking and sounding pedal.

Any chance of getting a gut shot to see how you stuffed all the goodies in the box?

[gtangas]

Just Sweet!!!!!!

[chromesphere]

Rob...your killing me...im going to have to make another one now

Edit: Heres another sound sample for you to critique of the chasm reverb.  It was an early iteration (flying saucer reverb) but assume it still sounds much the same as this newer version.  I cant praise this reverb enough.  I use it ALL THE TIME:

[clipman3]

This is incredible! Nicely done, sir 

[SISKO]

Wowww! Good work on reverb!! Care to share graphics? Its awesome! Im definetely biulding this

Are you going to post the schematic or is it in the other thread?
