Awesome, that seems easy enough to do, tempting me to buy one now.

you can't go wrong with a delay that costs about Â£20 on ebay and sounds this good!

funnily enough, my pedalboard includes the PB&J sat next to a Strymon El Capistan. Â£20 vs Â£250. it's a funny old game!

So you removed the resistor and bridged the two pads with solder? If you can get a wire onto each side of the resistor (without removing it), you could hook those two wires to spst switch to switch it on and off. Not sure if that would be too useful but it's an option.

A lot of the Dano pedals are really good sounding and their prices are great. If you can get over the plastic, they are well worth their money. There are probably a lot more mods that could be done to this pedal as I think it uses the Princton PT23XX series delay chip. I have one of these but haven't messed around inside it yet. I also have the Milkshake and the French Toast. The only thing I've done to any of these is to put an LED into the French Toast. I hope I get some time soon to open them up and go to town on them.

Thank you for sharing!!

I'm happy to give mine away for Â£16 if anyone wants it to play around with.

Sounds pretty cool, the EH Memory Toy does a similar thing with the feedback knob up full.

no worries. yeah, a switch would be a nice option.. i was thinking a momentary one, so you can set it to full feedback in normal mode for around 15 repeats, then press the momentay switch for oscillation. kind of like a Boss 'warp' mode from the DD-6
