I have just finished up another project for the DIY community that I am calling the Spare Room. It is based on valvewizard's Equinox II reverb, but with a few notable changes. The first is that I take the output of the first delay stage, low pass filter it, and feed that into the input of the second delay stage to create an additional "delay stage" to help thicken the reverb a little. The second thing I did was address the metallic ringing effect that it has. I did this by introducing an LFO on pin 6 of the second delay stage to slightly modulate the delay time. This helps produce a more natural sounding reverb. I did a PCB layout that is surface mount so that it will fit in a 1590a, small practice amp, or multi effects box. Schematic is attached, demo below, and for the build documents, Gerber files, etc., go here: https://scientificguitarist.wixsite.com/home/spare-room
