The Blandine reverb (named after Saint Blandina, patron saint of the city of Lyon, France) is based on the Timestream Reverb by deadastronautfx with a few minor tweaks by myself. The reverb circuit is built around the Belton brick, with an additional circuit that allows it to go into controlled self-oscillation for a nice ethereal tone. Requires a 9V DC power supply.
PEDALS MADE: 1
CURRENT STATUS: NOT AVAILABLE
FUTURE AVAILABILITY: only if I decide to sell mine
Building this was easy and straightforward and would have been a cinch if my brain hadn't insisted on inserting the two TL072 chips the wrong way round. Fitting everything into a 1590B enclosure was much more of a challenge, but it somehow worked out (after a few adjustments) - an extremely tight fit.
The design is based on photograph that I took myself of a stained-glass window in the Church of Sainte Blandine in Lyon made by the atelier Pagnon-Deschelettes. On the pedal enclosure, it came out a bit too dark - I had underestimated how the black lines would work on the bare metal. If the pedal hadn't been such a pain to put into the enclosure, I'd revise the design and make a new one, but I'm not planning to sell this one for now, and it works well enough for me.
