What's the Vector, Victor?

So here is my first "twin" build (well - sort of - we'll get to that later). I've been building several pedals lately (obviously) and I have a colleague who is also a guitarist looking for a delay pedal. Since I had the Aion Vector on my "to do" list, I didn't figure it would be too much more trouble to just build two at the same time, and for the most part that held true. It was sort of nice to be able to double check the placement of all of the components as I went through and make sure I didn't accidentally goof something up. The Vector is based on the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay and the PT2399 delay chip. It is a digital delay, but one that many analog purists will at least tolerate. Unlike many of the pedals I've worked on, this one isn't ridiculously expensive, but it is still cheaper to build (~$40-50) than buy ($170-$200 used on reverb).
