Tiny LIGHT-CONTROLLED Delay Effects!
An extremely compact, ferocious delay effect whose echoes can be controlled using light!
When the light sensor is switched on, the effect's 'time' control is determined by how much light reaches the sensor. When in a bright space, the echoes are contracted into a pulsing pseudo-reverb, and darkness creates slow, lazy echoes. When the light changes, the change in the 'time' control produces pitched-shifting echoes that sweep up and down with the environment.
In order to make a powerful effect as compact as possible, I decided not build it into a traditional enclosure. After wiring everything up and and adding some metal supports and a plexiglass panel for the top, I 'drew' the case around the components using a 3d pen, giving it a hard PLA plastic shell. The bottom side of the circuit is cast in epoxy to protect everything inside.
Other controls:
-Mix knob balances the dry/wet signal
-Feedback knob controls how long the echoes sustain
-Time knob controls the space between each echo, and serves as the light sensor's threshold when 'light-control' is activated.
-1/8" input and output
-DC jack
