First of all I wanted to tell you that is a really great layout and I appreciated the effort you have put into it.

I have one question.
On the Mid pot the CW lug has no wire on it.
I believe the middle and CW lug should be jumpered together?

If I'm wrong I will apologise in advance. :wink:

OK sorry, one of the schematics I have for #124 has them jumpered but it's basically the same thing right? It's just wired as a variable resistor?

I'm a little late with this, but thanks for doing this layout Tony, it is really helping me with my first D build that I am finally putting together.

I did notice an error though - the brown wire from the master should go to the switching connection on the return jack, not the send jack.

What effect would having that wire in the original place be?

Yes, I commented on that in the Files section in the Dumbleator thread.
Since I am building a Dumbleator right now, that caught my eye since a couple schematics had it the old way. :wink:
The 182 version has it right.

The 220K/250pf is only in circuit when there are cords plugged into the Send and Return jack.
As someone commented on the D' lator thread and it makes sense, is one of the reasons it is there is to compensate for the cords capacitance.

The 220K/250 is in my opinion a tweak.. It does change the tone however.. Some like it some don't ..You be the judge.. I always thought that network was used to tighten the low end a bit before entering the output section..Depending on how you run the loop and the eq of the effect your using.. Since most of the highs are passed through the silver mica there it does change the tone...sometimes less is more..

very nice Tony! What can I get you on the Dumbleator/DII to do one of these? I posted pics of each in the files section.

I remember that I saw some hand written layout where another plate resistor was 110k in V2. Is it correct?

I'd love to do one.... I'll glance over the pics again but if memory serves they should be fine or enough to get started... I think a D-Lator II would be great as well...I'll start gathering
