I understand RV1, RV5, and RV9 control how much of the delayed signal is mixed with the input to be fed back to the PT2399. RV4, RV6, and RV8 control the delay time. RV2 attenuates the CV.
so how the feedback and mix works in the pt2399 echo circuit is a case of getting the right level. in essence the feedback is more of a fine tune of the level. RV3,RV6,RV11 completely zeroed means the feedback amount of the delay with the mix from half way to max is relatively low in comparison. when you turn up feedback you go into territories where your straddling between minimal echo and self oscillation.
the mix isn’t a true mix and the feedback isn’t a true feedback, the feedback on zero stops the circuit going to super delay town and feedback extremes.
if you check the data sheet, its how they have it setup, and I felt no need to change it as its a delay type and topology I have worked with for many years, a lot of pedals and stuff use this method with singular pt2399’s so its just building on it and just looking under more rocks in the stream of lofi delay forest.
when your fiddling with them you’ll see why they are both needed.
also just a heads up! this is the first module I think is worth making cross format because of its funky sound. so im putting together a pcb that is small enough to fit behind all modules, however it will be panel wiring!
check out the leg of rv4. its basically just a resistor that sort of makes it all a bit more manageable at the bottom end of the knob twist, I found too small the pt2399 crashed and turned off in too much of the knob travel. too high you dont get the full selection of garbage mode
Ah, way down there! Felt like I was playing Where’s Waldo.
I don’t have any 24k at the moment but looks pretty noncritical, if I don’t get any by the time I’m building this I’ll probably use a 22k or 22k+2.2k if need be.
You’ve figured out some good replacements already, but this calculator can be useful for people in this situation:
(the parallel variants it produces are often more interesting – often easier to solder, but harder to calculate in your head. E.g. in this case 47k//47k (pretty obvious) and 100k//33k (less so) would work fine.)
I think just the 22k will be fine! I was humming and aaahing over values all over this module. seems the effect is very much down to taste. so I dont think much of it needs to be bang on the quoted values
