...for a single pedal! This is the new BYOC analog delay kit. It's their most expensive kit and most difficult build. Other than just the shear number of parts, it's some of the types that are a bit daunting:
- Eleven IC's all with their own socket fixtures (8-, 14- and 16-pin types, totalling 120 legs to be soldered to the PCB!)
- Nine (9) trimpots, all of which will need to be adjusted to optimize the delay, minimize the distortion and clock noise, and set several other operating parameters.
- 49 resistors, which is no big deal in itself. Except, in order to get 'em all on the PCB and keep it to a reasonable size, they all have to be mounted vertically, like the old vintage effects had. And when you get two or more placed parallel next to each other, you have to alternate which side of the two rows of holes the resistor body is on. Big fun.
This should eat up most of the non-football portion of this weekend.... :

Makes me think that a DM-2 isn't that expensive after all
All the best for the build, 9 trimpots to tweak would be a real disincentive for me.

Seriously, the instructions are very detailed & specific on the order of the trimpot adjustment. My fellow BYOC forum moderators share their build experiences on the new kits, and I've yet to see any comments about people "chasing their tails" trying to dial in the sound.
It's a long build, but pretty straightforward thusfar. I figure it will be well worth the effort to get that coveted warm analog delay tone....

Here's last night's progress--diodes, sockets, trimpots, transistors and film caps. On to resistors, ceramic caps and electrolytics today....

That looks mighty fine there, Vood. Good luck with the rest of the build!
Here's a little trick I use to make sure that I don't mix up the resistors in a build. Accidentally swapping a 100 ohm resistor with a 100K will screw up a pedal's function in a hurry. So I sort them all by color coding, check the resistance with a DMM, and then tape them by rating group onto a labeled sheet of paper:
So far, this method has served me well--I've never installed an incorrect resistor in a pedal build. (Hope I haven't jinxed myself now!)

Just going through my first soldering job a couple of weeks ago, I have an even greater respect for your talent (and patience). Nice job!!!

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! And dialing in the pots wasn't bad at all....

Hey DVM, did you ever make yourself, or play with the GGG Delay?
I'd be really, really keen to hear how you think the true analogue unit compares with the GGG one, as I was blown away with both the sound and the warm analogue-like quality after I made mine (the GGG one). It sounds basically the same as the AD80 it was modeled after. To my ears at least. If the new BYOC one is noticeably different I might talk to you privately
