Awesome! Has become my favorite reverb pedal. Totally nails the spooky sound of the pedal it’s modeled after.

Very very nice sounding spring reverb pedal, lots of great settings and sounds over moist of the range of dials (not like some reverb pedals that only have one sweet spot). Very worthwhile build, well designed pcb!

Great layout and sound. Though, If you want it oscillate like the EQD Ghost Echo, it requires a tiny bit of value changes. Definitely going to stay on my board. PedalPCB is doing the dark lords work \m/

Just a great versatile reverb, it goes from subtle to insane. Great layout and amazing supplier.

I built this for someone else but before I shipped it out I played with it quite a bit and I have to say it’s a really nice sounding reverb/delay pedal. I have an RV-6 and there is no setting on that pedal that emulates this sound. I may just have to build one for myself now.

Great pedal. Easy build. Just make sure you can find the belton brick. They were sold out everywhere at the time of my build.

Easy build, superb sound! This has been one of my favorite builds to date! The reverb is lush and lyrical! I had to order the belton brick from the UK but it got to the states quickly. The depth of this pedal rival even the most expensive reverb pedals. If your considering this build, do it! You won’t regret it!

Outstanding pedal! This pedal is staying on my board for good! Easy build, well worth it.

It hits a great spot right in between reverb and delay. For not having a lot of control, it is pretty versatile. Spooky and fantastic.

After upping R4 to 18K this ones a keeper. I always had love/hate relationships with reverb but i like this one.

Great board and great pedal. Borders on a reverb/delay pedal as you can get some slapback lsounds out of it. Make sure you can source a belton brick as it will be the most expensive part of the build and can be tough to find.

Nice spring reverb. Can go from “regular” reverb to super spooky. Good for non-reverb amp heads.

This thing is absolutely amazing. It sounds fairly articulate. It’s rather quiet, but this may be a result of the mod I did to achieve self oscillation (far from perfect but pretty cool, recommend you try it, the tips are on the forum). Absolute pleasure to build, too.

It makes a reverb sound with a little bit of delay in the background. Not sure if mine sounds like the original but it’s pretty fun. Definitely not a traditional reverb though.

I just finished this build tonight. I plugged it in and thought that is a really good sounding verb! But as I messed around with it I realized that the middle knob wasn’t really doing anything. Did some research and found that R4 should be 18K not 10K. It is like that on the original and other clones. I changed out the resistor and the result is amazing! Would give 5 stars except that they need to change the documentation. If you build this with that one little change, you will be blown away by what it can do!

Changing R4 to 18K is a popular DIY modification but not the stock value used in the original.
