I have some questions about building a custom delay in a 1590BB.
I have already built a mad professor deep blue delay in a 1590b, and I love it.
Now, I want to put the same circuit (and possibly two of them, but more on this later) in a 1590bb box with a tap tempo circuit using the taptation ic. I'd be using this delay circuit: http://tinyurl.com/kr44lgc and this tap circuit: http://tinyurl.com/k2k3kzl
Now I would like to have less controls. I still want all the standard controls of the deep blue delay and the added volume control for it. I understand that the delay pot from the DBD will be replaced with the delay pot from the tap circuit. I also still want the modulation depth. This would mean 5 knobs, correct?
I'm not exactly clear on what all the tap circuit switches do. As far as I can tell, I would only need the momentary, and possibly the tempo scale switch to do the dotted 8th settings etc. I don't think I'd use the PWM switch or multiplier or the other one(s).
First of all, how would I go about removing the components that I don't want. Also, how many things can the tap tempo circuit control? Is it possible to have two delay circuits in one pedal that are both controlled by this tap circuit? If possible, I'd like to make a 1590bb delay with two stomp switches and one stomp momentary for the tap. It would be two deep blue delays back to back for having separate settings or for using both to layer the delays

If I need two tap circuits (one for each delay), I would probably just scrap that idea and do one delay and one tap circuit.
Let me know what you guys think, cause I'm a little confused about how the tap circuit works with the delay.
Thanks so much guys! I apologize for spewing so many questions at once haha

100 views...Can nobody help me on this? I just want to know if it's possible to use a the tap circuit with a second delay. It looks like I may just do one deep blue delay with one tap circuit and this point, I'm just curious before I buy my parts.

will be your best bet in finding any and all tap tempo boards with various options.
I'll continue to read your thread and drop thoughts about it through the day

Delay pot for the DBD is replaced by the tap tempo board's delay knob.
The stuff you don't want IE the delay pot on the DBD you just don't wire up, it's going to be digitally controlled through the tap tempo board so you can just leave it off. I believe JMK has different boards with JUST the tap, tap and switches, and then the whole full tap tempo with modulation etc etc etc. I'm pretty sure in the PDFs of the PCB's it also tells you how to get rid of features

Thanks so much!!! It's looking like since it looks like I can't use a taptation circuit for two delays, I may just do the one and add or remove features. One thing? How do I wire a third jack into such a pedal for an external tap tempo. Say I want to have the delay at the top of my board and I want a mini tap tempo with a momentary and the bottom by my feet. How would I wire a third jack for an external tap? Do I just solder on the two wires as normal to the tempo clock as well?

yes, and make sure it's an enclosed jack. Also, I would honestly try to keep the tap switch as close to the delay itself, as having an excess of cable might delay your taps a bit

Ooh that's good advice! Thanks dude! I owe you a drink!

Is this possible? This would be a layout of my idea for this delay.

It goes pretty close to the end of my chain, hence the reason for the jacks on the right. I decided I'd be okay with scrapping the idea of having an external tap switch.
I decided it would be cool to have the Rebote Delay circuit from here: http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/201 ... delay.html
in the pedal WITH the Deep Blue Delay. I would only want the tap tempo daughterboard attached to the DBD. This would mean no tap tempo for the Rebote, and I'm okay with this. My last couple pedal builds, I've done the order toggle with the 4pdt toggle switch, and I LOVE the options that it brings, so I'd really like to include that to switch the order of the DBD and the Rebote.
This means I'm powering three circuits with the DC jack: DBD, Rebote, Tap tempo daughterboard.
Somebody's build of the DBD with the tap is shown here: http://youtu.be/NZnRhaj7R24
I read in the comments section of the tap tempo daughterboard (on the tagboard blogspot) that there would also be a way to wire the tempo scale and tempo clock LED's to the 3pdt switches or something such that they aren't always blinking even when the pedal is in bypass. Would this LED wiring work as they said?

Now.... the main issue: would this all fit? haha It looks pretty cramped, but I would like to know if it would all work out?
Thoughts? Advice? Thanks a ton!

Do you guys think all three circuits would fit in the enclosure?
