Dan Echo Circuit Change........?
David,
In your latest amp review for the Valve Train Tall Boy, you mention something that piqued my interest. You said that you're no longer using the Dan Echo pedal for your reviews because the circuit had recently changed. Can you elaborate on this a bit? I thought they stopped making this pedal back in the '90s. Have they introduced a new version of this pedal? Why did you decide to drop your old model that you've been using? When did the circuit change happen? And lastly, what is it in the circuit change that you dislike?
Hi, sorry to jump in.
After seeing Dave's comments I did some diggiing and found the following.

I needed to register to see the images.
It seems there has been a redesign at some point. I think the older version has the large pt2395 delay chip.
Anyway thought I would share, it might be some help.
Edit: Added how the older one looked? (I think)

Thank you Gnat
The mic I tried it with was a CR. I recommend you say the hell with it, and get the Lone Wolf.
I have a velvet color delay and there is a guy near by with a burgundy one for sale. I put the pictures of both in the folder at my google drve. Can you look at these pictures David and See if you identify the original. I dont know, the one i have works like a ordinary delay , but you never know what your missing if you havnt listen to it.

Hello J.Connolly403. I'm off for the holidays and won't be back to my school until the 1st. Sorry for the delay, but I'll look at my delay when I get to the office and will let you know.
Thank you J Judson. Your correct in that the burgandy unit is a Fat Tone distortion pedal. I wasn't sure what this person was selling in his ad because he had it listed with another pedal that had the delay. Now I know. I called the seller this morning.
I hope every one has a very nice Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I really appreciate your time in helping me. So cool to have you all when you need answers.
jjudson, send me an email from the contact us page and I'll send you pics of my delay opened.
Hello Jon. I've been using this pedal for a long time (over ten years) and it has been available on the market all this time. When I went to replace one of the two I have that died, when I plugged the new one in (which from the outside looked identical), it sounded very different. I opened the battery cover to the old one and the new one, and they're different inside. I don't know what they changed, but it doesn't sound good now.
