The Valve Wizard

In fact, one of the reasons I designed this effect was because most of the other DIY designs on the internet don't have tails, and tails is essential in a delay effect, in my opinion. (In acoustics the "tail" is the decaying end of the echo. A delay effect with tails does not instantly kill the echo when you hit bypass; it instead lets the last trace of echo decay naturally.) The circuit is built around a PT2399 delay IC. > The circuit itself is more-or-less straight out of the data sheet.

The JFET acts as an analog switch. Pin-6 of the PT2399 is a voltage source that rests at half the chip's supply voltage, which is provided by a 5V regulator in this case, so pin-6 will be at 2.5V. Technical details: Input impedance = 1M ohms Output impedance = 100 ohms Current consumption = 22mA when active. Holtek echo.gif (1435×1080) Topic: D'Lay v2 - GuitarPCB.com. The Rules are Simple.

Spring Reverb Drivers Information on driving spring reverb using valves (tubes) seems to be rather sparse, so the following is presented as a guide to valve amp designers.

This article considers only the driver stage, and not the reverb recovery stage (which is usually a simple triode gain stage, unfortunately). More information on reverb tanks is also available at Rod Elliot's site. How Spring Reverb works, in brief: The input transducer of a reverb tank is a coil of wire wound around an iron core. How much current is required? The voltage required to achieve the Nominal Drive Current can be found from Ohm's law: V = IZ Where Z is the impedance of the coil, which is normally quoted at 1kHz. For example, if a type A tank is rated as 8 ohms at 1kHz and has 124 turns; I(nominal) = Amps per turn / number of turns.

So the required drive voltage is; V = 0.028 * 8 = 0.2V This implies that the power dissipated in the coil is 6mW. Cheap current source drivers:
