From the vendor

Fred Briggs' wet/dry mixer and effects-loop switcher, built to rehouse a Behringer RM600 Reverb Machine running 100% wet. A Super Hard On style BS170 MOSFET preamp with a Pregain control buffers the input, the wet path goes out and back through a loop with two-pole low-pass filtering to soften the reverb's noise, and TL084 buffers isolate the dry and wet paths before they are summed with Dry Level and Wet Level controls; the fourth op-amp makes the half-supply bias. He notes it works for other bargain digital pedals too, such as the Behringer EM600 Echo Machine.

Use switched jacks for the FX loop. The drawing suggests dual outputs for a 'stereo' wet and dry out, and a switched jack for the wet signal.
