I've run into this exact thing with my old chap and current lover builds. In both cases, it was the analog delay I put in front of them. The star chambre and total recall being the worst offenders. To me, it seems like mistress style flangers amplify clock noise of pedals in front of them. I...

I second above comment. D101, 9v zener looks to be in the wrong direction

JFC... You did the same shit when you posted a thread about your XC phaser and you're putting way too much stock into this. You have been given sound advice more than once yet, you continue to argue. We're talking about guitar effects. The important thing is about how they sound and not about...

Is it really that hard to listen to the advice from other members and not spam the same question on other people’s build reports? If you are who you say you are, then you should know that the dBm to v or dBu to v calculation thing is based on load impedance. You want a simple, clear cut...

Switch popping is the nature of the beast with true bypass circuits. Your vintage unit isn’t true bypass so, that’s why you’re not getting switch pop. There are things you can do to try and mitigate it here. http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/bypass/bypass.htm There’s not really a true...

On paper they are the exact same circuit. The only real difference is the power requirements. I’ll help your justification process by saying that if you build the total recall, omit resistor R31. Not having that resistor in, eliminates the gating of your degrading repeats. The repeats then...

I have not built that one. Not enough delay time for my tastes. I’m an ambient 400 plus milliseconds kinda guy. You definitely can’t go wrong with the total recall. It’s the king of the memory man circuit.

You’re welcome. Keep me posted on how the calibration revisit goes with this one. There’s definitely something weird going on with your MOW and my absolute love for this delay wants to help you figure it out.

Having built the non deluxe version of this delay, I can tell you that the self oscillation thing you’re having is not normal behavior. What is normal with this circuit is the lower output. If you find yourself thinking “Wow, I have my mix knob up way higher than my other delays”, well… that’s...

Thanks! My overdrive tone is a Ceriatone 2202. No boosts, no overdrives, just straight up amp.

I did in fact omit the r31 resistor. It definitely makes a difference. The repeat degradation is more natural with it removed. As far as squeezing the circuit into a 1590bb… I managed to rehouse mine into a fresh Tayda 1590bb2 awhile back. I had to cheat my drill holes toward the bottom of...

Thanks. I’m sure I’ll check in every now and then but, I’ll also be that creepy middle aged guy lurking in the shadows with nothing to say. I can’t agree more. Word. It seems like yesterday that we used to laugh at those guys. Now we are those guys 😑.

Thanks Will! I'm full of useless information but, I'm thrilled you enjoy my stories Thanks Joe! I'm not trying to get get anyone's attention. I'm just speaking my truth. Many thanks! Dude got off light considering how much money he extorted. Just shows how much society loves a vigilante...

Gather around kids. It's story time. I'm going to start with what this pcb is based off of. The Boss BF-2. This is the circuit that started my flanger obsession. Back when I was in my late teens around 1998, I picked up a Boss BF-2 from my local guitar shop. At the time, I didn't know...

Sweet! Much appreciated 👍.

Any chance we could get a schematic for the Byzantium flanger?

I think the memory boy uses bl3208s. Same as the carbon copy.

Nicely done! I too was in the “not believing the hype” boat until I built the Total Recall. The DMM circuit is in its own category when it comes to delays.

Damn! That's a good looking build🥵

Thanks! I’m full of useless information so, look forward to more history lessons with future builds lol. Many thanks Will! I too am somewhat of a plant nerd so I’m glad I was able to fulfill that for you. Thanks! I’ve learned from the best. Huge thanks and cheers to you fellow Sonoran...
