Here is another Mad Professor pedal, one of the designs which has garnered the most interest around it. Well, it's been gutted and reverse engineered. Unfortunately there is nothing new in the design - it's a pretty standard PT2399 design based off the Rebote Delay 2.5 but it does sound very good.
Here is the schematic and project file (http://www.madbeanpedals.com)
Here is the ProGuitarShop youtube demo of the Deep Blue Delay;
If you fancy a challenge here's a vero layout by Nocentelli, go on - have a pop!

If it is a pretty standard design but does sound very good, any idea what makes that standard design sound so good?
ReplyDeleteIt just works - the PT2399 is a decent delay chip, using the op amp buffers and some low pass filtering keeps the circuit simple yet functional; pretty much the basis of all decent sounding circuit designs..
DeleteIs the low pass filtering you speak of occurring between pins 14 and 15 in the PT2399 feed back circuit? It's a little different than the data sheet example.
DeleteLayout seems interesting (the transfer plate), but no information is tested. I saw that the four pin diagram shows a grounding pin 3 and the layout does not show it, but that the four pin connects directly to the delay, being open when the volume is turned down. You got to ride it to see if it works?
ReplyDeleteWould it be difficult to add a tone knob for the delays? Or a switch between the default and a "darker" value? This would be my second build.
ReplyDeleteGreat site by the way! /J
Methinks "Mix 3"? Cap-pot-ground is easy. Switch would be cap-switch-res-ground.
Deletehow can i resize the pcb so i can print it?
ReplyDeleteHi.. I understand that with rpts on max it should oscilate, right? Here's what mine sounds like, with all the pots maxed out - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1767893/seaurchindelaytest01.mp3
ReplyDeleteit sounds overly dark and just not enough repeats and no oscillation.. thoughts?
Any idea of which resistors I could change to fix it?
Thanks!
I bread boarded it, and it didn't oscillate either.
ReplyDeleteI made this pedal more so it works when I reset the shot and Pt 2399 can someone help me ?
ReplyDeleteConnect pin 4 to GND.
Deleteensure potentiometers at 50k no more and no less

ReplyDeletePlease connect Pin4 o PT2399 to ground (negative) or else the circuit will not work. Author please correct the circuit schematic.
