Description

The 3Verb guitar effects pedal is a very analog sounding reverb, although it is bases on the digital BTDR-3 module. Controls for Decay and Mix enable to get sounds from room-size to a big cathedral reverb.

Most of the electronics is integrated in the compact reverb module, so the parts count is quite low. This makes this project also suitable for beginners. The BTDR-3 module is placed on the bottom pcb side and soldered on the top side!

This kit contains all parts you need to build a fully functional effect pedal.

Not included in the kit, but also good to have:

  • Aluminium enclosure: select one from top
  • 9V battery or DC power supply
  • 2 nice knobs for the potetniometer, 6.3mm shafts
  • Decal, transfer or transparent sheets for labeling


Instrument: Guitar Bass
Effect-Type: Mod/Echo

5 from 5 Excellent

Reverbe très complete et versatile avec uniquement 2 réglages on peut passer dun reverbe Room a une reverbe Hall. Facile a monter, kit de grande qualité. Juste une interrogation au niveau de lajustable de 10k a linterieur. Ca joue légèrement sur la présence de leffet mais linfluence est vraiment légère, jai fini par le mettre en position milieu

5 from 5 Excellent

Excellent reverb that passes from spring to space using the trimmer inside. In my opinion the best sound is the space one, that is very open and deep, so I set the trimmet fully open (clockwise).
Quite easy to build and absolutely not difficult to box in a 125B, as other said.
Neat sound and zero noise. Im thinking to build anoter one... ;-)

5 from 5 Excellent kit

Worked first time, really great pedal for clean jazz sound and also overdriven rock and roll. As others have said, the main board doesnt seem to fit inside the pre-drilled box, and the plastic feet dont quite fit either. One suggestion is that Musikding should keep the wiring diagrams updated, as the secondary PCB is not the same as the one in their wiring diagram. It took a bit of head-scratching. The connections are all labelled so it was possible to work it out, but an accurate wiring diagram would make it a lot easier.

5 from 5 Réverbe au son bien arrangé et enthousiasmante

Je suis débutant et jai bien réussi celle là, le kit est bien organisé et les instructions sont efficaces .
Jai déjà écouté quelque réverbes différentes et je nai pas fini de mextasier sur la 3verb .

The reverb is very satisfaying

i am a beginner and i build this one almost easily, instructions are good.
Only the trimmer thing is still unclear for me but its ok set around the center
The sound is build in a very good manner and its beautifull .

4 from 5 Super reverb

English:
Very nice reverb, packed with usable sounds. You just turn the nobs and dial in what you need. I am very happy with it.
Regarding the build, fitting everything in the box is a little bit challenging but its fine.
I am removing one star because of the documentation that is not as user friendly as it could be.

French:
Très bonne reverb avec plein de sons utilisables. Il suffit de tourner les potards et on trouve le son quon cherche. Jen suis super content.
Pour lassemblage, tout mettre dans la boite est un peu compliqué car il y a juste la place, mais ça fini par bien se passer.
Jenlève juste une étoile pour la documentation qui est pas aussi intuitive quelle pourrait lêtre.

5 from 5 Nice sound, nice build - some challenges

Let me start by saying that I am a total beginner, so maybe this pedal was not the best to start with but in the end I managed and am pretty proud. The challenges I had were that some of the parts were not exactly the same as mentioned in either the manual or the movies on youtube. For instance, the DC jacks were different and I soldered the wires the wrong way around. Of course, after some thinking I realised the signal should go through the middle and the ground on the outside but if you are a beginner as I am, you may not know this. Also in the manual you have to solder the LED directly to this smaller little green board (PCB) but in my case it was blue and had a different shape where you couldnt directly attach the LED, at least not in a way that it would fit the opening in the enclosure. In the end I actually didnt use the small blue board but soldered everything with cables directly to the footswitch. Another thing that was challenging was that one of the potentiometers was rotating after I turned the knob. There is the little metal tab sticking out which can prevent this, but this only works if there is something which holds it. I read that a lot of people snip it of. In the end I didnt do that, but I squeezed some cardboard in between to keep it from turning and to get it level. All in all these little puzzles made it both challenging but also rewarding. I can imagine that someone with even less experience can be frustrated.

4 from 5 Very rich and smooth criminal 😎!

The short version is that this Reverb sounds very rich and smooth (although extreme settings obiously reveal some artifacts). Although the degree of complexity of building the kit is not very high, it took me a lot of time checking and double checking all the connections involved.
Especially mounting everything in the (too small?) enclosure was a really tough challenge mainly caused by the large Reverb-device itself).

Despite my own intially poor paint jobs (the surrounding temperature is very important when using paintbrush stains; at least ≥15 °C), and the annoyance of too many missing and wrong parts, in the end it was worth the while constructing this excellent sounding kit. Ive heard ánd experienced myself less convincing pedals from much higher acclaimed brands...!
