Long live the probe!
Ok, made an audio probe and found where I'd gone wrong. Simply one leg of s resistor in the wrong column on the vero.
Working, pretty quite hum wise which is good.
I think it needs some taming. Just even slightly on and it's a massive harmonic cave like reverb. Any tips to curb that dwell a bit?
Otherwise I'm pretty happy for my first pedal circuit. I've learned lots too.

Yeh, I think I an get medium and short delay tanks in this size.
The great thing is Clarry from titirangi orders em in and sells them for $10 meaning this becomes pretty cheap compared to other available real spring reverb pedals.

Yeh, the well one of the online shops had em for $9, so maybe he gets them wholesale from there. Plus he's a good bugger. Or maybe he was just interested to see how bad a job I could do at making a spring reverb pedal.

In keeping with the number of unnecessary holes inthe enclosure, the only paint I had to hand and the cheesy nature of this effect ..I give to you...
SWISS CHEESE spring reverb!!!
