Flanger in a 125B

[Popnfreshbass]

Would love a small footprint analog flanger. Something along the lines of a BF2. What would be great(but probably impossible) would be the new Polychrome by walrus. But I imagine both those pedals only fit due to smd parts.

I know this has been in the wish list before but I agree, +1 for the polychrome. Or any flanger with a mix control. Cough cough *whispers* camoflange…

Gutshot I found of a polychrome. I imagine the othe side of the board is filled with smd components as well.

Actually not as crazy as I would’ve expected. Looks like it would be doable for a 125b with stacked PCBs (like the Aion blueshift or many of the Lectric FX builds) and 1/8w resistors.

I wonder how difficult it would be to do a 100% SMD build?

Could it be an Electric Mistress with mix control on a 125B? I would love to build this. I have a Mooer Eleclady, but it has a little loss of volume.

The FL-9 is a classic favorite. The service manual with schematic is out on the web.

Honestly not too difficult, but probably too daunting for most, and having to buy a bunch of SMD resistors and caps instead of being able to use stuff from exiting stashes will probably turn off a lot of people who would otherwise be comfortable with it anyway. If all of the components are on one side, it’s exceptionally easy to do with just solder paste and a dedicated iron or toaster over (I have one in my workshop specifically for wave soldering and baking finishes onto metal and stabilizing resin in wood)

With the right equipment I would say easy.

that little mooer pedal is does an excellent job and is priced very well. But ya it needs a volume boost.

I don’t think it’s super difficult but the opportunities for mess ups are infinite. Also I need to get magnifying goggles.

I’m very curious about the process of using the past and an oven. Any good tutorial or video on the topic that you could recommend?

Agree on the Polychrome mentioned above, subtle chorus-like flangers are the best and that one sounds like it does the trick.

This sparkfun tutorial is more about the oven itself than really using it but still might be helpful. SMT/SMD assembly is so cheap overseas that doing diy smd boards has never seemed appealing to me, but even doing that is challenging in it's own ways that are fun to me.

Oh wait, you said 125B, here is one I did in a 1590A. It is Electric Mistress flavored.

That doesn't count, absolutely disqualified. Did you not see the request? 125B!!! It's in the thread title.... sheesh, some people....



Seriously though, that's awesome.

That is really cool. Tight squeeze!!

This is amazing!
But it would really be nice to have 2 extra knobs on Electric Mistress: Volume and Mix.

There's a builder on Reddit that stuck an EVM2 in a 1590B; I'm going to go for either 1590B3 or 1590N1 with mine.

It's been weeks since I bought a Flanger PCB and the only thing keeping me from going through withdrawal symptoms is a BYOC Flanger I'm nearly finished monkeying with...


...Are you by chance selling the PCBs for this?

Agreed. I have the Iset version of the E-Lady. My favorite flanger and it works perfectly for my rig. I’d use it more if it weren’t for my size 13 1/2 foot stomping on the whole damn pedal when I click it on. Seriously… I hate mini pedals. A 125b e-lady would make me very happy.
