Another SAD1024 in the house… BF-1 FLANGERAMMA

[Feral Feline]

Drummer fiend, erh, friend … found this half a decade or so ago in a townhouse reno he was working on.

He gave it to his bass-player, who closeted it. Recently the guitarist (a mutual friend) got hold of it, and passed it on to me with the blessings of the drummer and bass-player.

Might have an intermittent RATE pot problem…

Sounds very good — has a very different flavour of flange to the Electric Mistress, even though they share the SAD1024 in their workings.

That's crazy awesome!

 

[jimilee]

Oh man, that’s an awesome gift.

 

[Gordo]

And what's your address again??...

 

[PapaBear]

Wow! Would love to hear it!

 

[Feral Feline]

We tried it earlier this week at 12v, finally, instead of the usual 9v...

No problems with pots, of late.

So when the heck are the X-vive people going to clone the SAD1024? *(or better yet, improve on it with a better SNR?).


I'm not a video-producer guy, but maybe when my friend gets back from vacation I'll try to put together a vid... big maybe.

In some ways the MN3207 as good as or better than the SAD1024. They use the same MOSFET BBD technology. The SAD1024 was designed for 15V operation and requires at least 10V for Vdd and the clock gen in order to meet spec.

I built a flanger pedal with an SAD1024 back in 1978. Loosely based on the Electric Mistress. I stripped it for parts a couple of years later. Still have the SAD1024. My assembly skills have steadily improved since then.

I think I have an old Boss BF2 Flanger gathering dust around here somewhere, never used Flangers much

Is that an old foxx enclosure?¿

That’s awesome man!!!
I’ve never got my hands on an old boss one like that…

Yes. It was broken when I got it, so I gutted it. Wish I still had the board & original pot.

But Why Chuck Why!

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

Foxx wah enclosures are so rad

I could resurrect it. Would that make you feel better?

We could take a Vote on it with the Members watching this discussion or if your happy to resurrect it as you have had a quiet spell in the Build department of late! , I leave it up to you.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Should be fun. Since I lost the schematic years ago, my first task will be to trace my own circuit board. I have all the parts, including an SAD1024.

Does the expression control the manual or the rate?

Well, if you don't you could Rob Pete to play Ball or something like that!

Yes.

I think it would make us all feel better.
