How to build an effects pedal for two digital effect options (chorus & chorus/delay).
The Suspended Chime uses the Accutronics BTSE-16FX Digital Sound Effector module to provide two
effects in one pedal, chorus and chorus with delay. The blend control allows you to go from subtle to lush
chorus effect. Flip the toggle switch for chorus with a 190 millisecond delay adding spatial depth to your tone.
Warning: This circuit was designed for use with a 9 VDC power supply only.

  • Page 6: Final Assembly Reference Drawing

    FINAL ASSEMBLY REFERENCE DRAWING This is a large version of the final assembly drawing. Refer to this drawing as you make your way through each step of the instructions. Before you make a new connection at a particular terminal or solder lug, notice how many other connections will be made at that terminal. That way you can decide whether it’s best for you to solder the connection and leave space open for future connections or hold off on soldering until after every connection at that location has been made.
  • Page 7: Soldering Tips

    SOLDERING TIPS It is important to make a good solder joint at each connection point. A cold solder joint is a connection that may look connected but is actually disconnected or intermittently connected. (A cold solder joint can keep your project from working.) Follow these tips to make a good solder joint.
