I just bought a couple of these on a whim for £1.59 including shipping. Looks like a nice little digital delay line, could be good for those 50s tape delay effects. Anyone used them?

Whilst exploring the the ancestral apparition at guitarPCB I discovered it also uses an Accu Bell digital reverb module. A quick trip to the Accu Bell web site revealed a US patent number US08204240. Browsing through the figures of the patent you eventially discover a schematic which uses three PT2399 chips!!Rocinante said:I have also used them in guitar delay reverb applications. Installed one in a custom amp as well. I think my favorite design was 'ancestral apparition' at guitarpcb. My violinist uses one in the set up I built for her with very light settings but I can't imagine not using it.
I’ve used Belton Bricks. The reverb has modulation which I don’t like. It sounds like reverb and chorusruffrecords said:Whilst exploring the the ancestral apparition at guitarPCB I discovered it also uses an Accu Bell digital reverb module.

The patent looks pretty smart to me. Anyone have any experience of these modules for reverb?

Maybe fix the patent number in your earlier post that was not found because it lacked the B2?
I already found it.

It’s odd that they have multiple names. I’ve just always known them as “Belton bricks” on the forumsruffrecords said:Yes, you are right. I thought of them as Accutronics the one I was looking at had that on the front but it seems they also put Beltron on the front instead on some models. Duh?

Yes, I have ba spin FV-1 waiting for me to get round to it also.Fuzz Face said:It’s odd that they have multiple names. I’ve just always known them as “Belton bricks” on the forums
At any rate, I don’t think the sound quality is up to the standard of your mixers. The modulation really gives it an unnatural sound. It is great for some things but not an every day reverb for me
I would rather use a Spin FV-1 personally, but I don’t know what newer parts are out there these days
To be fair the PT2399 itself tends to sound pretty good. Not really for reverb but for echo/delay. The delayed signal is dark and lofi, which works well to keep repeats from obscuring the dry signalPRR said:Belton bought Accutronics a while back. They use both brands as they see fit.
The PT2399 is a simple one-chip solution for reverb in Karaoke machines. Better reverb is certainly possible, but the users are all drunk, who cares? The guitarists use them but it isn't such a good fit.
