Would it be easy to mod the delay so that the delays dont cutoff instantly after being bypassed?you dig?

Probably not. That sounds like something that would be a software related aspect of an effect. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a delay pedal that will continue to let the repeats die off after bypass has that feature programmed into its software already, which is burnt into its IC's where the software is stored. It would take a couple programmers and engineers to be able to mod an effect to do what you're asking - LOL.

I think this was talked about in the mod forum, I think it was as easy as moving 1 or 2 of the jack wires on the switch. Im going to give it a try and I will let you know if it works.

Don't mix signals on the switch.

What you want to do is cut the clean signal input to the delay chip, without breaking the feedback loop return.

To do this, you need to lift one resistor and put it onto a switch. The resistor in question is the 15k that sits directly above the 22k/10k mixing section on the lower left side of the board.

If you do this mod, I recommend keeping a 3PDT to totally bypass the delay when not in use. This could be a toggle on the side. Wire the 15k resistor to a DPDT footswitch using the second lug for a status led.

Oh, and since we're now in the mods section:

Here's a quick diagram of how to wire that with a dual color led that turns on with the master bypass, and changes color following the status of the "bypass with repeats" switch - you may for example use green for pedal is on + on, and red for pedal is on, but off!

Your awesome Kahel!

Hey man as soon as I get a bigger piece of copper board I will get that PCB to ya.

NOTE: Small error/leftover from another diagram, the 9v wiring should go straight from the led pad on board to the 2nd switch - not via the jack. I'll fix it when I get time.

No stress tech9, I have more than enough builds to worry over right now!

I remember Keith saying it's something as simple as switching one thing on the origional switch. I was the one who talked about it.

Pfft, what kind of loser takes the time to make a signature?

I remember that too, and I was the one who said that was probably not such a good idea...

The concept was to send the return of the circuit to the out lug on the switch in bypass mode, together with the signal in. It's not really a good idea to use the switch as a mixing stage... it will definitely not work unless you desolder the ground jumper lug 3 to 6, and it probably will not work properly if you do. But feel free to try that too if you want to!
