Delay
X Type:
Build Level: Intermediate
Based On: Boss® DM-2™
The 2024 version of the Aquababy has no circuit changes and some minor layout adjustments.
The PCB has been converted from a 2-layer to 4-layer design for low noise operation and the
project now offers a PCB mounted pot option.
The Aquababy is a faithful clone of the Boss® DM-2™ analog delay. It offers up to 300ms of analog
delay in a 1590B enclosure. The Aquababy is designed to utilize different BBD types (MN3205 or
MN3005) and clocks depending on availability and price. Minimal modifications are required to set
the build up for these different BBDs, and this will be explained in detail later on in this document.
• MIX: The ratio of delay vs. clean signal.
• FDBK: The number of delay repeats. Maximum FDBK setting will induce self-oscillation.
• DELAY: Delay time from slap-back to about 300ms.
• BIAS: Used to set the proper bias on the input of the MN3x05 for it to produce clean delay.
• CANCEL: Sets the mix of the two delay outputs on the MN3x05.
• CLOCK: Sets the correct clock frequency range produced by the MN310x to drive the BBD
delay lines in the MN3x05.
Terms of Use: You are free to use purchased Aquababy24 circuit boards for both DIY and small commercial operations. You may not offer Aquababy24 PCBs for
resale or as part of a "kit" in a commercial fashion. Peer to peer re-sale is fine, though.
