The Angel - Chorus kit

Good chorus sound, but the pedal adds some noise... (even with a 9V adaptor)

I have to agree with the comments of another user: very nice sounding chorus but you have to use with a 9V power supply otherwise it will sound weird (squealing sound I was thinking I made some mistake in building it but then I tried with the power supply and it works perfectly).

Built earlier version 1. Sounds very nice for 10minutes, then used for a while with Speed at max and the IC PT2399 has blown.
Replaced IC and works fine again.
Using brand new 9vdc battery doesnt sound fine, sort of slapback Echo very noisy.
Using 9vdc Power supply sounds very well. 4stars, wanna try version 2 of this PCB.

My first DIY pedal. Verry easy to build and nice sound ! Thanks !

My first DIY pedal. Kit is extremely complete and parts are very clearly labelled. Documentation on website was easy to follow. I had a couple of issues, one was a solder bridge so my own fault, the other was the pot legs shorting on the case - easy to fix. I really enjoyed building the kit.
Sound is just as I hoped, a subtle effect easy to modulate to find the tone you want. If you want extreme settings I would look elsewhere.

Very easy to build, excellent instructions. Perfect kit for a beginner!
The sound is not for my taste, however. Compared to an original Boss CE-2 it sounds only like a shadow.

Cest juste ce que je voulais, bon prix, utilisation simple, il y a juste la notice qui demande à être améliorée (plus de précision) si on na jamais fait de DIY cela peut compliquer un peu le montage. ERIC

Although this was already my fourth DIY-kit, it was the first that I built without earlier desappointments. This time the DIY-kit was complete and after first checking and metering every part I could start building. Even the paint job went surprisingly well (during wintertime it is not a good time for airbrushes 😰). Within one evening I could finish the whole cnstruction of this rather clear and simple PCB. There was also enough space for all mounted parts. However, upon checking the pedal in action, I didnt hear any chorus-sound (and that was the whole idea behind it 😎). So I opened the enclosure again, desoldered the used inline sockets and this time I fixed (quickly and carefully) both transistors directly to the PCB. Et voilá...
It sounds good with a nice sweet spot (pots around ten resp. and two o clock) but not as rich as my more versatile Rocktron Tsunami. Ironically I sold this older and bigger pedal to make some space for my own Chorus. No regrets. Not a top-pedal but it does the job good enough for me. Knowing that I did most of the work myself (thanks to MD for sending methe right stuff) Im proud of what I have achieved.

Easy to build, easy reading instructions. Components are marked clearly. Worked really good. Only one con about the sound, chorus effect is not that strong/deep before depth adjusted over 2/3. Othervice nice effect.
