This thing can be as glitchy as you could imagine with different CV sources, I suppose. Also, controlled spikes of oscillation!

No ideas on a name unfortunately, just encouragement!

An Igor press sends to the delay circuit - but it's the nature of Igor that the press isn't 'hard-edged'.... It has the same attack as stamping down on an expression pedal.
Yes - with one repeat you could re-send in some sort of rhythm. You could actually use it as a looper - play something with Igor pressed, let that loop away, play dry over the top of it, maybe add another note to the echo.... But over about ten repeats the sound starts to change, gets interestingly melted... Then new repeats added to it would sound 'newer'. Also it isn't an amazingly long delay time. Did I say 600ms? Now I'm not sure if it'd be that much, but it'd be enough to be useful in songs (of varying speeds). Like I said, it's not meant to be a looper.

But right now, I'm dealing with all kinds of problems with it. I'll get there, but electronics is very unforgiving - until it suddenly works, and then it's a big rush
To tell the truth, I was never aware of the bass-cut aspect, just while I was working on this started wondering why it seemed to sound extra cool....

'Dub Dwarf' is pretty neat....

BTW when this is out I gotta make baseplates to attach two RFX mini-pedals together.... Dwarf and a delay together side-by-side would be about as wide as a regular 'Boss' pedal (but of course no side sockets!). And the footswitches would be about 4cm apart! Easily switch them on together, and both with Igors. A little patch lead joining them.

It'd be possible to switch them individually if you weren't drunk.

Offer a wider spaced baseplate for when you were....

Or a small trained monkey to switch them individually for you.

Do you know Danny Gatton had a human being to turn his effects on and off for him?! (usually a leslie cabinet).

I'd have been quite happy doing that for him.

I've got to look into how it'd behave with CV..... Could be all kinds of weirdness available....

(Or nothing at all)

Yes - what you're playing the moment you press gets sent to the delay, and that snapshot echoes away on its own (forevermore) while you carry on dry - like nothing ever happened.

I was once in a band with block-booked rehearsal rooms, and during a break I took a battery-powered delay pedal with my Boss Microamp - and put both in a jacket pocket, then connected a small mic and hid that under my lapel. Then went and ordered a cup of tea in the cafe ("...cup-cup-cup-of-of-of-tea-tea-tea-tea..." etc). Everything I said seemed INCREDIBLY profound that afternoon!!!!
