WAIT.

HOLD UP....

IT GLOWS IN THE DARK?

BUTTER MY BUTT AND CALL ME A BISCUIT, WHERE IS MY CREDIT CARD?

I don't think I'll ever want a pedal bad enough to spend over $300...

that just inspired a new thread...

I'm not complaining about the $200 initial price tag, very fair considering the limited availability and DBA's penchant for high prices.

But that's ALL this pedal is worth, def cool, but anyone spending $500-$600 to acquire is in store for a serious letdown and some heavy duty buyer's remorse.

$600 is ridiculous...$200 was definitely the max I would have paid for this particular reverb

I've sent an email to DBA and they'll be coming out this year with a production model of the pedal ! They said probably in Fall !

Yeaaaaaah !!!

Now the eBay buyer's remorse just got real haha! I bet this limited run was for the glow-in-the-dark finish and Ty Segall autographed enclosure. I got a signed Ty Segall record in the mail too a couple days after the pedals, wasn't aware that was a part of the deal. Shit, I didn't even know who Ty Segall was until now...

They'd do well to address the volume boost once it hits production, good to go beyond that.

Hahahaha that's great news!! That'll hopefully put a dent in the plans for the profiteering douchebags. Wonder if the price will be the same, or if there'll be any other tweaks to the circuit??

flippers gonna flip!

Opened it up last night after I got it and I can confirm that it's a Belton brick verb. The subtle eerie modulation makes me believe that it is a Long Decay Brick (also with how damn long the decay is, jeez). I think that it is set up similarly to the Rub A Dub, and that the gain control simply is a high enough value for the op amp to give it some OD/Fuzziness. Lastly the feedback pot has to be a really small value because I had tried putting a feedback pot onto a Rub A Dub that I made and it started oscillating almost immediately with like not even a 16th of a turn of the knob.

Anyways, I dig it! I didn't realize how much of a black hole it was going to be when I plugged it in. About a quarter of a turn through the mix knob you get almost full wet.

As Schnikes said, there is a bit of bleedthrough with the feedback control, so if you've got the gain cranked and the feedback up you can hear it a bit when bypassed.
I also noticed that even if you have the gain at 100% it will start to feedback regardless of where the feedback control is.
I enjoy how your signal gets fuzzy and kind of lost, but I like to control the feedback with the knob, so I keep the gain at about 9/10, the mix about 4/10, and the feedback anywhere from 1-5/10 on the dial.

If they do what they did with the Echo Dream, hopefully this will be one of the most affordable DBA's!

EDIT: I did notice a very slight volume increase with the gain anywhere higher than about 2-3 on the knob, but if you keep the gain relatively low there wasn't much of a jump that I noticed. Adding a volume knob to it isn't hard at all and like Schikes said, there is definitely room for it inside and out.

Yeah, I got Dunwich Nick on the case already, gonna throw a master output control in that big empty spot. Def a keeper for me after that. I'll have it in a true bypass loop so I'm alright with that bleed. The Echo Dream 2 had some bleed as well but get zero with my original ED which is nice.

I gotta take a look and see what type of grounding they are doing on their circuits now for that little bit of bleed to be coming through

Lemme know what figure out with that....

What chip do they use for reverb? Something proprietary or just a Belton brick?
