1776 Multiplex

This is a great delay designed by 1776 Effects and I recommend any/everyone to get this and build it. Its a great combination of delays. From the classic Binson Echorec made very popular by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour to the Roland RE-201 classic tape delay and last but not least, the Echoplex EP-3. Each delay has its own subtle differences. The Echorec mode has a great duel delay controls for a “one long delay and many short delays mode”. I found it to be very usable. This is a duel PT2399 based delay and with long delay times distorting some, but in a good way.

Update: I was having issues with the Binson & RE-201 modes with distortion on the 2nd repeats and so forth. It was suggested to me over at Madbean’s forums that the voltage regulator might be bad. I busted out the digital multi-meter and found that I had almost exactly 5 volts coming out of the regulator and on pin 1 on both PT2399’s. I decided to replace both PT2399’s and the problem went away. Whats weird is the pedal worked perfect for 2 days then it started distorting. I guess we will see with in time how this set of PT’s do.
