SHEcho Project - Another Build Report

[johnravacio]

After a couple of days of troubleshooting, I finally made this thing work. Yahoooooooo!!!!!

Thanks to Dean's design....

Nice build.  I have a pair of populated boards I was waiting to install into a rack unit, but it never dawned on me that the pads for the pots were spaced such that one could use headers and connectors.  Thanks for the idea!

Interesting! What's it sound like / delay times?

Yes Mark, I was surprised too that the pads were spaced enough for headers and connectors. Just be careful when connecting them, because I broked the pcb foils for the pots when I forcefully connected them(see the glues on the pictures). I think the best thing to do is to glue the headers to the pcb before soldering. On my build, there was a little space between the headers and the pcb, causing the pcb foils to break when I connected the connectors. Or its just I had a poor type of pcb.

Hey Matthew, the sound was decent but not comparable to Boss DD-3 maybe because the HT8955A  AD/DA converters were not as good as those on the Boss pedals. Delay times is up to 800ms.
