Verb Engine - Feedbacker

We detailed a feedback mod for this circuit in the 'standard' version of the kit, and it was so popular we decided to produce this tweaked version with the mod included. Extra zany tonal mischief with very little extra effort.

Not for the easily offended, or those looking for nice, clean reverb. You have been warned!

This piece of work is less a reverb than an unpredictable, untameable texture machine.

Based around the ever-popular Belton 'brick', this circuit twists and tweaks the boundaries of this unit. Controls for reverb level and volume are pretty straight forward. Add the gain control to the mix and things get crazy. The extra signal being mixed with the verb causes all kinds of overloaded, distorted havoc which is both fun and satisfying. Two distinct tone modes are available, giving you dark, cavernous rumbles or bright, spangly twang. Something for everyone, as long as you're a fan of the unusual. Whack on the feedback mod and loose your mind.

You can opt for latching or momentary footswitch for the feedback.

NOTE: This kit does NOT include the Belton Brick. If you need one please order it on this page. The original uses the LONG variant, and for the most fun we'd say stick with that.

Supplied with Lumberg jacks so they'll fit nicely above the pots.

If you want the PCBs without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCBs, all board-mounted components (not footswitches), pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.
