Help deciding on Rebote enclosure

[rove]

I built a Tonepad Rebote 2.5 and it is working fine, no mods.  Trying to decide how to box it up, I haven't even wired a bypass for it yet, and I feel there must be some cool things I could do, like a momentary switch to add delay to a single note, or some sort of expression pedal to control delay repeats, or a switch to go from min to max repeats, etc, etc.  Just a bit stumped and wondering what switching or other add-ons have proven useful to others for the rebote 2.5 (or delays in general).  I have read a couple of threads regarding a momentary switch for the Rebote, but I am not sure I understand how it functions...

+1.... I'd also like to know of any mods like that.

expression pedal to control delay repeats,  

just build it in a Wah shell if it fits and use the former wah pot as a repeat pot.

or a switch to go from min to max repeats, etc, etc. 

that would be accomplished by running a switch that short circuits the pot. at maximum repeat there is zero resistance on the pot. if the switch is off, the repeat will be determined by the setting on the pot.

haven't built the rebote but the pt-80, and can't really help on that momentary switch. sorry

I didn't finish the bypass in my Rebote but I did box it up.  I just kept it simple.   Nice delay and works great.  Spyder did a layout for me and the board fits in vertically in the enclosure.  Probably too big for most but it's fine for me.

battle of mid, if that was a TS, you've commited a crim!

Maybe you guys have a point that I should Keep it Simple...
I thought about the wah thing and actually have an "extra" wah that I could use for experimental purposes, maybe I'll give that a go before making a final decision.
It would be neat to be able to play, say, three notes, A, B, and C, in a pattern, with a momentary delay setup where note C would be delayed and the delay decays would continue over the beginning of the pattern, ie note A, without note A being delayed. I am thinking this could not be done with a true bypass design (which is fine), but I don't really understand how to implement it.  Now that I try and spell it out myself, I am thinking this may be what the above referenced threads are discussing.
And, BOM, I don't think its in any way criminal, that TS/Rebote. No reverence.
nice pics everyone and thanks for the replies.

one thing you could do with the wah is use the foot pedal to control like the delay speed, and then have it go from slow to fast and stuf like that. i just recently put my fab-flanger in a crappy wah case and its a lot of fun, not to mention much more usable now that i can vary the amount of craziness to use in diff. situations

I kept it simple and small and put it into a 1590B.

blanik: Could you put up a link for the endless repeat mod?

[blanik]

"just short the wires of the repeat pot with a switch and it'll do the same has if you'd turn the repeat pot at max... but this will only work if you did the 15k to 10k mod as specified on the Tonepad PDF"

that's about all the info i have for this mod... not very complicated...

Rebote 2.5

*Great kitty*
If that was a TS; YOU THE MAN!!!
It's not a crime. More of a mercy killing !

For the momentary switching you mention,  you just want to stop feeding new material into the delay chip, without bypassing the whole delay.  Any repeats the delay is still making will be mixed into the output and trail off. 

I did this on a Rebote 2.5; I used a toggle switch to break the path into the delay chip and send it to the NO contacts on a momentary switch.  With the toggle switched, nothing gets fed into the delay to repeat unless you hold the momentary switch down. 

In addition to the threads you've posted, check this one out:

R..G. helped me around the problems I had with popping I had when switching around capacitors.  I believe i also illustrate where I broke the feed into the delay line. 

I was able to cram the Tonepad rebote 2.5 board, two footswitchs, two toggles (one switched added resistance onto the delay time pot for extra long, albeit grainy, repeats), and all the standard controls and indicators into a 1590BB turned sideways.  (probably could have not turned it sideways, I just wanted to keep the footswitches far enough apart.)

Also check out Charlies Moosapotamus site - he has several interesting mods on a PT-80, (including an FX loop), and includes some soundclips.  Most of the PT-80 should be applicable to the Rebote with a little moving around.

I'm about to try a Rebote 2.5 for my guitar player and I'd like to add the momentary switching option. 
After exploring options like in http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=50661.0
I think this is the way to go but I'd like to add a further option. 
Option A:  delay on, pressing momentary switch cuts input to delay section
Option B: delay off, pressing momentary switch allows input to delay section

Here's a quick schematic showing this using a DPDT toggle switch and a SPDT momentary stomp



This is including the extra cap and resistors to ground that R.G. suggested in the other thread:

Have I got this right?
