Just a little bit of an upgrade and rework of things. Pretty much all the features of the mk 1 plus..

Longer delay time 900ms vs 550ms
Two selectable delay lines to give a delay or a vibrato/chorus even to flanger sounds.
Ext tap jack and CV/EXP jack.
Tap tempo switches over to modulation rate for vibrato/chorus.
You can directly control the dry/ wet mix with the clean and level knobs.
Input gain control, cool if you want to mess with line levels. Or just fun to distort those bbds and get a dirty delay.
Norm/Exp switch changes how the delay self oscillates a little.
Runs off 9V now.
Redesigned filters and other minor tweaks.

Other stuff I'm probably forgetting..

I really liked the previous one, but this sounds like a true keeper. Eyes peeled!

Very interesting, please keep us posted!
The artwork is funny in a cool way I think.
Does the gain control also influence the tone and/or the mix/balance of the delay a bit?

So gain just affects your delayed signal. It's also not in your feedback loop so it doesn't mess with the regen (I found this annoying on the Supa Puss). If you change the gain and wanted to keep unity you'd also have to adjust the level. Gain I was thinking is more of a set and forget kinda thing for most people. I did think about doing a DMM blend style but this way is more flexible but a bit more complex to setup.

I literally just traded for the first version yesterday. :cry:

Is this a complete redesigned or can units be upgraded? :idea:

It's completely new hardware so I can't just do an upgrade on it sorry.

No pics yet. I'm still waiting on cases and the new pcb to arrive. Should have both in about three weeks. I have a proto PCB I did back in January that I hacked to make work. It just needed a few minor errors fixed.
