Modded my echo dream for tap tempo just to see if it could be done and it totally can!
I don't really use tap tempo but its cool that it can be done, used a taptation ic and can confirm that the dream is a pt2399 based delay. With the fuzz switch and the tap tempo I think the echo dream is a really cool delay pedal. Sounds awesome doing tap wet only modulation and then kicking in the fuzz all without using my hands

I still think it is interesting to look at your big orange caps. it does not need to be pretty, it just needs to work. the reason I say guts, is that without guts this thread would be just like every other thread where we just stare at guitar pedals we know nothing of how they work or whats inside, who built it etc... you never know when someone will post something with a machine made SMD board. there are people in here that sell pedals and post in this thread but I draw the line where its made in china so therefor NOT DIY in that case.

No mini pedals from me...
Contains a madbean Low Rider and a madbean Nautilus, which are pearl octave (-2, -1 and +1 analogue octave pedal) and mutron iii clones. Add the fuzz of your choice between the two to create an explosion of awesomeness.
Both went together easily enough and fired up first time- these boards are top notch!

Been a bit busy with the soldering iron of late- here is my new super-ambient modulating delay/ reverb pedal of doom. It's a massive delay board from madbean (zero point SDX) and the teeny tiny grind customs tenebrion reverb (the brick fits under the board) in a hammond 1590XX.
Highly recommended- this thing covers a lot of bases and sounds as good if not better than any pt2399 based delay (store bought or diy) I've used. Up to 1 second delay using both chips. Good times!!

looks good. I suggest kapton tape over light blue construction paper. clipped components can be sharp enough to tear the paper and ground out on the back of the pots. I had good results with foam adhesive tape but kapton is best. I plan to buy some when I can afford the investment. whats up with those big red LED's not wired? is it just aesthetics?

Thanks man. The stuff that looks like paper is actually thin foam sheet, and is fixed to the pots using sticky foam pads- there's a good few mm between the pots and board so should be safe there. I'll check out that kapton stuff for the future though, thanks for the heads-up.The leds are just there to fill in mis-drilled holes, but that's part of the joy of DIY I suppose

Mouser all the way, they sell all the cool Hammond stuff pedal parts suppliers don't bother with
