NPD - Hydra Delay (custom build)
NPD - Hydra Delay (custom build)
This is a multi-head delay circuit from PedalPCB.com similar to the Boonar, Echorec, and Volante. It sounds amazing. I used to have a Catalinbread Echorec that I sold and have regretted it ever since. This is filling that hole in my heart.
I've been trying to build this pedal for a while now but the parts were out of stock till a few months ago. It was kind of a difficult build as everything is tucked in there pretty tight and there's a lot of enclosure holes to line up.
The black faceplate is something you can buy from Pedal PCB and it makes it look really good. Extremely happy with how this turned out.
Looks great! I have a belle epoch and always been a big cbread fan. Shame they don't make much weird shit anymore
How are you using this one, or not decided yet?
I mostly like to use it for rhythmic delay stuff where I try to play off of or over the repeats like a second guitar. You can also crank it up to create reverb like wash but I have other pedals that do that better.
What did the swell setting do?
It’s the number of repeats. Don’t know why it’s labeled like that.
