Description

The Hydra Delay simulates a band echo with 4 heads. The individual parameters like speed, repetitions, age of the tape, volume and mix can be adjusted. With the 4 toggle switches you can also switch the individual sound heads on and off.

This kit contains the PCB and all necessary parts. The enclosure can be selected, please select 5 knobs for 6,3mm shaft separately.

Amazing

This thing its amazing. Using the combination of 4 head its possible to archive very rich and unusual delay effects. The controls are very reactive and useful: Level and Mix helps to tail the amount of dry/wet, Age its a progressive Tone that slightly increase during the sweel. Its a digital effect and sounds fantastic.
The FV-1 chip its a SMD IC, not very easy to solder so be careful, its not cheap if you broken it. All the resistors has to be solder in vertical position.
Very raccomanded, very good PBC layout

Incredible!

Whether youre looking for a pedal to replicate classic Pink Floyd tones or you just want a superb (and very versatile) delay; this is the pedal for you! Pin 1 on my FV-1 was broken but musikding sent me a new one after Id contacted them about it. Ive gotta say... I was quite impressed with the tones I out of this one! When soldering the FV-1 make sure to use solder with a diameter of 1mm or (ideally) less. Use a flat tip on your soldering iron and remove any excess solder/bridges by heating and pulling (dont heat it up too much or youll destroy the IC!). I dont think its as difficult as some people make it out to be; Id say give it shot! Even if you have to order a new FV-1 because you messed it up, itll still be worth it (Ive never killed an FV-1 personally).

Best digital delay I built so far !

I was curious about the possibility to achieve multiple delays effects.
Just like connecting 3 or 4 delays together to get the running horse effect, and many other complex delay sounds.

I am impressed with the Age control, allowing to shape the tone of the repeats. You can easily get some beautiful sounds.

FV-1 is an amazing platform.

Here is how I solder the chip :

First, put a very little bit of solder on 1 pad at the top and 1 pad at the bottom (pin 1 and 15, see datasheet).
Then, with steady hands, adjust the chip on the top pad in order to get all pins aligned with their pads.
Re-heat the top pad and solder pin 1. Final adjustments and solder pin15.
Finally solder all the remaining pads, with as few solder as possible.
Check for shorts, and its done !
