i'd like to do something like this in the future, but i just need to justify the added cost of the patchbay. i've made an RCA patchbay before (which is a cheap option) but the contacts just weren't 100% reliable. the banana jacks/plugs aren't too expensive, but you need a handful of them and i make the cords myself as well. it all just gets a bit time consuming...
i may certainly build a few one offs or small runs like that though, as it seems like a bunch of folks are interested.

ha! coming in like 2 weeks - as soon as my enclosures get silkscreened, they'll be built and shipped. in fact, they're already built! i just need to get my little paws all over those dirty dirty enclosures... :hobbes:

hey

if you want something simpler/more usable and want to release it next month I say go with the mountain range!

I'd also be really interested in the patchable delay, but I need to ask (forgive me if that's already in another thread):
what is the reason for the patchbay? what signal(s) is it that you can re-route?

yeah it seems to be the poll consensus and what i felt in my gut anyways. :)*

the patchbay delay does some "circuit bending" within the delay, so basically it just lets you route random parts of the circuit to other parts. there are a few really cool points, but as cool as it looks, if i were ever to build something like that i would most likely find the patches the seem to be the most useful and just have them prewired as pots/switches.

Mountain Range!


So what will the fuzz mode sound like?

ask blurzy. he had some very kind things to say about it... :cool:

overall, it's pretty low gain, so the fuzz mode isn't really too over-the-top. it basically goes from open to more compressed.
not really sure exactly how to explain it.

even prewired would be awesome :rock: if the pedal remains and sounds experimentally circuit-bend-ish,
and that would be a cheap and clever solution to the patchbay (thou it wouldn't look so appealing for some people)…

and even without patches… "the patchbay delay" sounds like a name for it, or it does not? :idea:

I am in 100% favor of an analog delay! Especially if you build an overdrive circuit into it as well (doesn't even have to be independent! One on/off switch total). Dirty driven analog delay withpreqired wacky circuitbends. HELL YES.
