That's not a volume control. It the mix or level of the wet to dry sound. You definitely need that.
Man you are completely right I tested both and was 100% sure and still got it wrong I opened up a new one and it's not a volume thank you for helping me 😊 guess I'll have to make a new video modding it😃
Craft foam is a good insulator between boards. I find the soldier points cna be sharp and poke through tape.
It has never happened to me but I'll try the foam out 😃👍 thanks!
So funny, I ordered a few a few weeks back and started messing around but was having trouble figuring out how to add an additional pot and some other things in some not as well as you explain things videos, and actually had been meaning to ask you about them. So awesome you're experimenting with them!!!
Haha awesome! I have another idea for a pedal but it will probably be next year because the parts are not showing up 😯
@@zurowetz I've been thinking about combining it with one of the lm386 boards you turned me on to.
@@RevvyTone that could be cool do it and see if it's something👍😃👍 let me know what you find out 🙂
OK I do like the Ambient tones and speeds! Congrats!
🤟😃🤟
You can add another pot for feedback on the pt2399 board, as well as the speed control. Connect pot between leg of C16 (resistor side) and centre pin of volume control.
I'll check it out thanks!😃👍
Yup dude knows his stuff. I've done this. You can also build a small passive buffer to make it more equal in volume when on.
It's C15 and as we keep saying, it's a mix knob. Leave it on. Uou can yse it with thr C15 hack to fine tune, infinite delays. Great videos. It's good to start with basics, and then you can go to crazy town and back, with ease. Leave the mix (volume) knob, buy another pot, 50 to 100k. Solder it in as he shows.
@@stuartchapman5171 C16 to centre of mix pot when I did it. I've never connected anything to C15?
Aw man, I need to try this!
YES! You do and you also have to make more videos I've been waiting 😉😉
Great, i’m soldering!
🤘yeah!🤘
Somethings I've done to this board is add a buffer, add a volume knob so I don't have to make a buffer lol, I've added a feedback knob and I wanna say on the knob that changes the time I added a resistor to I wanna say a 100k pot. Longer delay time but it gets all bit crushed on repeats. You can theoretically add a "feedblast" momentary switch but I haven't done it. These things are fun and when I bought them I'm bulk I feel like I got mine for under 3 bucks a piece but price varies sometimes dramatically wherever you get them. Like every supplier has them different like the lm386 boards. This was one of my first 2 diy pedal projects.
Thanks for the shout outs and sending people my way. I can't wait to long into stuff and see what's up. I also just appreciate you being you brometheus. ❤️. The dance and the onesie is a nice touch.
I bought loads of these boards, and the LM386 boards from Aliexpress. PT 2399 boards are around 80p (I'm in the UK) each and the 386 boards are around 28p each. I bought far too many to ever use, as is usual for me.
@simoncardie9371 I've used those lm386 boards in so many ways. I have a dsp 99 reverb I built with one in it because it needed some volume. I also found these small red lm386 boards with a bigger normal pot on them that are smaller than the blue and I think layout is different because they sound different. These weird things not meant for pedals that you can pedal is fun. I like the 99 dsp reverb boards and the isd sampler boards too. You can do so many things. Add them together, or modify them, or just add a footswitch either way it's like adult Legos in a way to me.
Sounds like there is a lot of fun stuff to do your gonna have to send me a to do list 😆 haha of course I shout out you 😊your the one who told me about it should let people know 😃👍
@@simoncardie9371there is so much fun you can build so you just need to start spending all your free time doing it haha 😂
@@tigmil8116 I've got one of those dsp 99 effects boards. Mine acts in an odd way. The pot just changes the total volume, not the wet/dry effect volume. Also, like you said, it's a very low output. I'll get it back out and try your suggestion of amplifying it with the LM386. I've not seen the sample board, so I'll look that one up. Thanks for the suggestions!
Ps. I've just had a look. I've also got a few of the tiny LM386 boards. I used them to power electret microphones, of which for some reason, I bought 100 for £5. I've used 2.
Hey man -- so I don't know if you (or anyone else) can help or not -- but I took my 2 boards and wired them up just like you did here. Before I wired them to the footswitch and all that -- I broke out cables with clips and "breadboarded" the in's and outs. Here's where I think I might have broke the space-time continuum:
1) The only wire coming from the input jack is going into the input of the 2 circuits. The only out is coming out from the circuits to the output jack. The power wires are in the green lugs and connected to a 9v battery. The little red lights on the board go on. The ground for the output jack is also connected to the battery. A ground wire is also sent from the grounds of the input jacks to each other.
All I get is clean guitar tone.
2) Leaving everything else the same -- I take off the wire connecting the grounds of both input and output jacks:
All I get it clean guitar tone.
3) Confused -- I take the ground connected to the output jack off the battery and connect it to the ground connected to the out of the circuit.
All I get is clean guitar tone
4) Now the only thing connected to the battery is the power cables from the green lugs on the boards. The input jack is connected to the input of the circuit and the ground of the input is connected to the circuit. The output of the circuit is connected to the output jack and the ground coming out of the circuit is connected to the ground of the output jack:
All I get is clean guitar tone.
5) All wires are now running through the circuit -- except the power. I disconnect the power from the 9v. The red lights go off. No power is running to the circuit.
All I get is clean guitar tone.
Do the natural laws of science not exist in the proximity of the desk in my Canadian basement? Am I making this guitar make noise with my mind powers? Are the boards just shorted out and there's a bypass internally somewhere? How could that be possible on 2 boards simultaneously? Is the type of popsicle stick you sandwiched in there the key? I don't even have them stuck together -- I'm putting them in a larger enclosure. Are these circuits and my guitar trolling me?
Any help or ideas?
TL/DR: I might be a demi god with magic powers or an idiot. To be determined.
Halloo don't worry we'll figure it out together 😊 in worst case you can send me pictures on Instagram 👍
1) it doesn't sound like you have wired it precisely like me i have one board going into the next if I'm reading correctly your jacks are going to both boards at the same time you need to first connect one jack to one boards in and the the out of that board to the next ones in and then a jack to that ones out with power having its own + and - and in and out having boyh ground and lead once you get that to work you can connect a true by pass because if something goes wrong you know it's the by pass
2) you will always need to ground everything
3)I'm not sure I understand but the dc shouldn't be connected to the output
4) is both batter +&- connected?
5) I haven't checked if you need power to pass a signal through but maybe you can so it might not mean anything 🤷♂️
One last thing is maybe super stupid to say but I'll say it anyway ( kinda like saying have you tried turning it on and off again) but here goes the 2 pots that are on the boards stock are blend pots I say in this video that its volume but that is wrong ( I corrected myself in the next video) it could be that you need to move them 👍 anyway let me know how it goes and if this helped or if you need anything, good luck 👍😃👍
@@zurowetz I don't know why it's not letting me reply -- but I added you on Insta and posted the mess.
@@forktrus cool I'll check it out 😃👍
Been interested to see if they can be circuit bent cause that would make for a cool pedal as well
Oh yeah you can 😃👍
I'm only about 29 mins in and that's sounds nice and crunchy and dirty to me
Thank you glad you like it but only 29 min? That's almost the entire video 😂
Yo! Thanx for inspiration.
Btw instruction says that signal must be preamplified before put it to this reverberation modules.
Yeah so its a little quieter than bypass but if you need to you can peer it up with a boost or you could build a simple boost and put it in if you want to I haven't had any problems with it yet but it is something I'm thinking of exploring in the future 😃
@@zurowetz Me too :) I watched your video and remembered that one year ago bought same two reverb modules and two amplifiers based on lm386, little different from famouse by your pedals ;) Sooo... Maybe "the time has come".
@@abrajmek_zalilovhell yeah! Go for it just have fun and go crazy 😆👍
I've got 10 of these coming from 2 different sellers on ebay. I want them here NOWWWW!
Haha I get it 😃 but I'm working on a new video so hopefully you have them by then 😉👍
A new PT2399 video?
Also they might show up soon only a state over! Also got LM386 on the way really liked your video where you tried using them with diodes and LEDs I have both of those I'll have to try it out. Curious to see how well the little amp board is at driving a mini spring reverb tank. Would love to combine the pt2399 delay and spring reverb into a dedicated pedal.
@@NoirEater sounds awesome! I have a video called killer fuzz where I combine the lm386 witch a tremolo it would be somewhat the same so take a look and see if it inspires you😃👍
@@NoirEater yeah hopefully coming soon 🙂
It would be nice if you could control the repeats
Maybe you can 🤔
nylon screws and nuts make good standoffs

As per some comments below, I had also bought these boards a while back and tried it out with no success. Then, when i realized I did not know what I was doing, I hoped someone smarter than me would give it a go and share it with the world.. And here you are!!! Thank you!
Edit: Do you think adding a tap tempo is even possible?
Glad you like it and that it helped but I'm not smarter than you 🙂 you just don't get to see all the mistakes I made (mostly burning myself on the soldering iron) I don't know if tap tempo is possible but there are kits you can buy and see if it works from example musikding 👍
Did you ever remake, or mod this to put the dry/wet pots back in?
Yes! Its called the lovely little panda 🐼
I want to build something similar but was wondering why you used two of the circuit boards instead of just one?
so I can have one delay going into the next tis a cool effect and if you have two pedals you can try it I think you'll like it you set one to be slower than the other :D
@@zurowetz thankyou!
@@mango9871 no problem 👍😊
Blend knob
1. That circuit is noisy as all hell, 2. $10 does not account for your time & labor.
1. So don’t use it? 2. Yeah you usually don’t quantify that when you’re DIYing for fun.
@@1RandomToaster Plus there's time that goes into developing the soldering skills needed, plus the cost of solder setup.. $10 is out to lunch, jack.
@@ferrousmcgarrus3431 Soldering inexpensive projects like this are exactly how you build up those soldering skills. You amortize the cost of the tools over your projects. This… this is how hobbies work jack.
Just buy a cheap used delay. Or don’t because you need go buy cables… batteries… hell you need an instrument to plug into it. Roof over your head would probably be nice too right?
He fell for the time is money meme
@@heggy_69 well, time is money. In this case you invested that money into developing the skills. If you have zero interest in doing that then you have zero interest in DIY.
