From the post

Here is a contribution from Jordan Fontaine, a modified Mid-Fi Clarinot)

Modded Midfi Clari(not)

This was a fun project to delve into. I certainly didn’t stay true to the short delay, tape warble aesthetic. The delay still does that sound but now it can run wild too. Very versatile now for rockabilly, dub, shoegaze etc.

Delay time is extended and feedback added to extend beyond a single repeat. The trimmer sets the threshold for runaway repeats to taste. I borrowed the blend for Midfi’s Pitch Pirate so there are more sounds available here. If you have runaway repeats happening and dial the blend close to dry it almost sounds like a scratchy record under your playing. The fuzz control from the original has been removed to add to the ‘clean’ sound of the pedal. Although the longer repeats will add noise and clip as well. Where the crazy comes in is the external mounted LDR. The second footswitch engages the LDR and affects the Delay control as you interfere with the light in front of it. The Offset control allows for the light to make dramatic or subtle changes to the time. This is easily omitted if you're not interested in it.

Check before you build · 3 values the reader of this layout was not sure of
  • Delay/Depth B250k: read as two B250K pots (separate Delay and Depth lugs in the wire labels); could be meant as one
  • Lag B1k: the wire labels call a pot 'Tracking' and none 'Lag'; assumed to be the same pot
  • Trimmer 25k: taken to be the square part at columns 18-20, rows H-J, which carries no printed value
