DBA Reverberation machine guts

Post by disorder »

does anyone have some gut shots of this pedal? I'm ready to pull the trigger on it but DBA stuff has been so shotty in the past I was hoping to get an idea of build quality and to see what's behind the reverb (belton brick or digital or pt2399?).

I dont have one but im pretty sure it's a belton brick, read it somewhere in the diy forum. Hopefully someone can confirm.

Looks possible. 16 pins and 6 in a row.

Don't be a dick.

It looks like DBA has stepped up their workmanship. It also looks like it's based on a brick which would be the 6 horizontal pins near the right side of pcb. I'm wondering if that 16-pin dip chip just below the brick is a PT2399 used as a pre-delay. This pedal sounds like it has slapback before the reverb and that would require a delay chip?

If any rev machine owners out there trust me (a total stranger) I would be willing to pay shipping both ways to get this traced. It looks easy enough that no soldering would have to be done.

Are those chips easy enough to come by that it would actually be worth it?

Why trace it? It's not unique enough to waste your time, plus it's still available.
