NEW GUY ALERT: I bought a Joyo Delay DOA, good candidate?

[bobbymobetta]

Hey Y'all.

I'm impossibly newbesent but ya gotta start somewhere. I've just in the last year started a synth collection, which lead me to sequencers, which led me to DIY sequencers.....which led me here.

I got what I paid for when I ordered a JOYO delay pedal that was basically DOA....I got some sound out of it but pretty much only inthe "true bypass"(!!!) mode...Firstly, I believe these are candidates but I don't know for certain so I'm curious if there is anyone who has moded one. Secondly I'm just interested in general know-how...is there maybe a list of tools for the "Novice Spelunkers" of this world to stare at and then turn around and realize that they are holding it upside down?

Rock On!

I've been doing it for about a year now and when I started this page of tips on the Circuit Benders website was invaluable for pointing about what to buy to set me on my way. I recommend a read of it if you haven't already.

I haven't bent the delay pedal you mentioned but an earlier casualty of mine is a  Mimidi delay pedal. Not sure how I fried it but now the only sounds I can get out of it sound like something from the bbc radiophonic workshop. One day I will put it in a nice enclosure.

I see your message was from a few months ago so you're probably already sorted for gear. Hope you're managed to get something out of the pedal.
