Reverb Project with old BTDR-1H

Hi guys.

Recently a friend gave me his old Belton BTDR-1H reverb brick as a gift, so I figured out I could build a nice project with it. This 1H brick turns out to be old as the 2H and 3H modules are more commercial, and I couldn't find any 1H reverb projects online as most of them are 2H based.

My question is: It is possible to build a Reverb using the BTDR-1H with current circuits like... let's say... GGG D-Verb, BYOC Reverb 2 or Box of Hall Reverb, all of them use BTDR-2H.

Thanks!

Edit: I prefer to buy a ready to solder PCB instead of etch one or make a vero-layout

The BTDR-1 is essentially pin-for-pin compatible with more recent BTDR-2 designs. I think the output is mono vs. pseudo-stereo for the -2 brick, but this won't make any difference for the guitar circuits you describe.

No idea if anybody still sells a PCB for the -1 bricks, but if not, you can always connect your brick to a newer PCB with off-board wires. You could make a small daughter board out of vero or perf with header pins if you want a tidier version.
