I have no idea what’s going on right now but people want delays!  Maybe its the cold weather?  All I know is that i’ve got requests for 4 delays right now, and another one in limbo that I havent committed to yet. DELAY SEASON. 

This particular analog delay is an old build from when I was testing prototype boards for a fellow builder before they went into production.  Its based off of the old Way Huge Aqua Puss. Its a great sounding delay but they also get a lot more stupid with addition of some mods, and man do I like stupid.

The unit in question here is a pretty standard analog delay topography with control for delay length, blend between wet and dry signals, and feedback (how much the delayed signal feeds back into the circuit for repeating, decaying, delays).  When the feedback is turned down you get just one delay, but as you turn it up you get multiples like you’re yelling “echo” into the grand canyon.  Turn it up even more and the circuit starts to freak out because its becoming a closed loop that just wants to repeat upon itself infinitely….and thats where it gets FUN.  But its also totally not fun needing to kneel down while you’re rocking out to turn the feedback knob.  Solution?  A footswitch.  One switch is the standard on-off switch and the other is a momentary switch which dimes the feedback when youre pressing it down, and sends the thing into oscillation heaven.  KICK.  ASS. 

More mods to come on future builds….
