Hey everybody. I saw this thread a while back:

http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=41465.0

and I decided to go buy a pair of those echoes to tinker with. And it is working great! So I thought I'd post some pictures and a sound file to show my appreciation. I wanted the pot to sit between the two existing pots, but I had a hard time finding a pot that was small enough, so this is what i did:

I moved the two caps to the backside of the board, and glued a 100k
trimmer to the top of the board. I then glued a thumb tack in the trimmer, and it makes for a cool little pot. Then it was just a matter of drilling a hole in the box. This was all a very easy mod (thanks to the original poster!) I made a sound file too:

just scroll down to the "Echo Test" song and press the "stream"-button. it's just guitar into echo into software cab sim. first a clean sample and then increasingly longer delay times (mix and repeat all the way up... i think those are level and feedback) I hope this will get some more people working on this, a very econimically efficient mod. anyway, thanks Nalo1022 and everybody else
