DOD - FX96 Echo FX / Analog Delay
- KHELSTROM
- Solder Soldier
Just picked this one up for only $25 and it uses a MN3005 analog delay chip. One weird thing tho is that it has a maximum delay time of only about 200ms. What's the best way to go about extending the delay time to a full 300ms?
Thanks
Thanks

there exist several trimmers on the inside. One of them will allow you to tweak the delay time slightly.

Whatever trimmer or not, uncleboco is right. Start increasing the value of C19
hi im kind of a newbie to modding pedals..i have a dod fx96 with just 200ms with no trimmer,
i would like to make the delay time longer.do i then just take capacitor 19 out and put a bigger one. the bigger the longer the delay?
what capacitor size would you recomend. i don´t mind that it gets really lofi on longer delay time
but would it sound worse at a short delay time with a bigger capacitor installed?
also i would like to be able to make it self oscilate. would that be just another capacitor that i have to change for the feedback?
thanks greetings Fridfinnur

I threw a 100pf in mine because that's all I had at the moment and it is definitely too big. It did increase delay time but definitely beyond the limits of the IC. Somewhere between 25 - 100 pf should be good but I haven't had a chance to get down to my parts supplier yet and experiment more since I've got a reissue super lead plexi on the bench at the moment.

put 2 100p in series in the meantime.

There´s a sucker born every minute - and too many of them end up in the bootweak pedal biz.

Have you tried running it with a 12v power supply instead of 9v... Makes a huge improvement with this pedal... It becomes a lot clearer, the feedback can be set higher without getting muddy... and the tape quality knob actually becomes useful. Don't know how safe it is, haven't analyzed the schem and parts voltage ratings yet. But I assume its safe as some delays using MN3005 (AD900) run at 12v + its a small difference.
p.s. I have the old model without internal trimpot and with the reel graphic, dont know if the later model behaves the same.
