I’ve taken a little detour from my circuit bending itinerary and decided to revisit the classic Realistic Reverb. Upping the bend count from 10 to 15, I’ve documented a number of charming bends: various walls of delay feedback; a few subtle timing bends; some sublime distortion. And the result is a really fun slapback delay unit.

I’ve also documented some more traditional modifications that I felt added more value to the project: Mic Out Level (which opens up a whole world of beautifully warm and creamy overdrive); LED On mod so the LED shows when the device is on; CV over the Delay rate; Wet/dry mix options; Swapping out the BBD chip.

Check it out.
