    1. Not sure but Brian is suggesting a possible effect loop mod here:

      C20 is the 1uF cap bellow IC4 and C28 is the 1uF cap connecting to pin 7 of IC4.

  2. 120k resistor lead at 10C has to be brought to 4G as per the schematics, otherwise oscillator won't work. With that one it is verified. Nice sounding too.

    1. Yes, well spotted. Will update it. And the 1M resistor across pin 1 and 3 will be a three row resistor av the the correction.

      Thanks for verifying this monster. Do you think it does a good job emulating a real DMM?

  3. Yeah, it is pretty cool. The c/v is a cool feature and you can dial nice sounds with all these controls. I have also built the 3205 chips version, which has a warmer and richer sound, and which i prefer, but in the end, it is a good emulation of the dmmm.

  5. NOW I'M FIGHTING A LITTLE WITH THIS, I HAVE REVIEWED IT SEVERAL TIMES, I CHECKED BRIDGES ON THE TRACKS THE COMPONENTS AND NOTHING THE ONLY CHANGE THAT MAKES COMPONENTS IS TO USE 2N2 FOR THE CAP OF 2N7 BUT I DO NOT THINK IT ALTERS SO MUCH TO THE CIRCUIT ... AND ... CLEAN SOUND ... I HAVE LOOKED FOR THE DIAGRAM ON GOOGLE BUT I CAN'T FIND IT, IS IT POSSIBLE YOU HAVE IT TO HAND?

  7. are the smaller yellow 100nf caps supposed to be 100pf? They are on row 3 and row 21 next to other larger red 100nf caps. Slightly confused, just wanted to clear up before diving in.

    1. The small yellow caps is 100nF multilayer cermaics. They are part of the the power filter section and cermaics is usually specified since the handle ripple current much better than film caps.

    2. I ended up checking the schematic posted early in the thread. Was just my knee jerk (lazy) reaction to ask the question. Gonna try to finish this one up now. Thanks for all the layouts, love the blog!

    3. Got it going tonight. Fired up on the first try. Used a tl072 because I don’t have any tl062 on hand. Great layout!

  9. Finally got this built and it worked first time. For a PT2399 delay it is very very good.

  11. Just want to say thanks for this mate. Been looking for something that could replace my memory boy. I'm trying to replace every purchased pedal on my board with self made and up til now haven't found something I could make that cut the mustard. This ones gonna do it. Got it together and it went first pop which is always a bonus. I have made some modifications. I added a switchable 17v charge pump which is probably the most noticeable enhancement and I'd recommend. But keep it under 18v. definitely adds more presence. Having an output control is also a big thing that I needed. The memory boy always gives a big volume boost when switched on which is a real pain in the ass. The memory boys coming off. Cheers
