Oooooooo.........DEM Flanger and MXR Flanger. Just my $.02

I'm curious if these are going to be slight variations of one another, considering they're all in the same basic enclosure/4-knob format. I'm fine if I'm totally wrong about that, and kinda hope I am - just on the flip side, I won't be surprised, either.

Are there mods to convert the Stagecoach to standard (non-FWW) BUSS specs? If it's a totally different animal, I get it. Just wanted to check before I get started populating this board.

Awesome - thx!

I'm building a Mayonaise III clone, and it uses a BAT47 in line with the incoming 9V rail. I'm not finding these readily available anywhere - is there a viable substitute for this application? Thanks

Despite having several tweed-inspired ODs on hand, I've got the itch to build a CB Formula 5. Problem is, I want to ID the version of the one below, but can't seem to find a solid answer - I have all ideas it's the version 2. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks guys - turns out I need to order a few things for another build, so I'm going to pick up a 500R trimmer as well. Sorry - I get OCD about things like this, wondering if it would sound 'better' after the fact, if I had the 'right' part in there.

Stupid question, as I can (probably) adjust DOWN to the necessary range using a 1K trimpot. I'm just not sure if there is a 'sweet range' and it needs a 500R to dial it in easier. If you can't tell, I don't have a 500R at the moment and I'm itching to get this done this weekend. :cool:

But....but.......that goes against everything I know! Everything I AM!! :cool: Will do

I'm almost done with my Derailer build, with the exception of the 2.2uF MLCCs (caps C12, 13 & 14). I've heard too many things about X7Rs having issues with capacitance drift when voltage is applied; I picked up some 100V X7S caps for these spots, but want to run it by the forum before soldering...

Have to chime in on this one (great build, BTW): I built my cousin a Lead Solder over the summer, wanting to get it right, work out any kinks/tweaks, and then built myself one. Finally finished it up about a month ago (I always have multiple projects going at one time) and added the crunch mod...

Ibanez FL99 Classic Flange - can do subtle, jet plane or filtered for that vocal, Eric Johnson 'High Landrons'-ish sweep. I'm working on the work-alike from DeadEndFX now.

I LIKE what I've heard (wattage scaling, reverb, effects loop, bass cut), but that price is steep. I'm saying that as a TM Deluxe Reverb owner. Folks like being able to get cranked Bassman tones, though - I'll stick with my pedals for now.

Newer/higher-quality parts? Mods/tweaks on toggle switches? Better bypass? The DS-1 clone I built blows away the two MIT post-1994 ones I've owned. No desire to own a Waza version. I'd love to see what I can do with an MT-2.

I'd get an MT-2, but I didn't see the first one. (ba-DUM-bump)
