From the vendor
Just like how a shadow follows you around wherever you go, the Shadow is a simple-as-can-be double tracker. The time ranges from 14 ms up to about 50 ms, providing subtle thickening or some moderate slapback. Based on the ES56033, the onboard opamps are used for the input and output buffers with a MOSFET gain recovery stage at the end.
You may have noticed it has only one knob. That is because I used an MN-taper potentiometer, which is a dual potentiometer where one side is at maximum value until the mid point, at which point it begins to taper off linearly to zero for the remainder of the travel. The other side starts at zero and linearly increases to max at midpoint, at which point it remains at max through the remainder of the travel. This could easily be adapted to two separate controls for time and mix, but I have a bunch of 1590G enclosures doing nothing, so I thought it would be
