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.

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.
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.
SECTION 1 – Mount Large Components Please refer to DRAWING 1 and DRAWING 2. The anode (+) side of the LED is Orient the enclosure with the two 1/4" holes on top. indicated by a slightly longer lead and/or a positive sign. ...
SECTION 2 – Wire Large Components Please refer to DRAWING 3. Stripping wire, tinning wire and soldering. Throughout these instructions you will be told to strip and tin a length of wire numerous times. Unless noted otherwise, cut the wire to the length stated in the instructions. Then strip ¼” of insulation off each end.
SECTION 3 – Prepare the BTSE-16FX Module Six of the 16 pins will not be used: 2, 5, 7, 8, 13 and 15. To help identify these unused pins and help prevent shorting these pins with other connections we will insulate them. ...
Connect the 220 ohm resistor from terminal #19 to #20. Connect a 0.1µF cap from the pot’s “H” (hot) lug to terminal #18. Connect the 5.6K resistor from terminal #9 to #18. Connect a 10K resistor from terminal #21 to #23. ...
Connect the BTSE-16FX module pins as listed: Tip: Route the wires along the module surface leaving room for the battery to fit on top of the module. CN1 pins Connect pin 1 to terminal #9. Connect pin 3 to terminal #1. ...
