Flanger!

[bhcarpenter]

Seems like a flanger would be a good addition to the lineup! Maybe the A/DA, Thorpe Camoflange, or good old Electric Mistress? I don't happen to have one for tracing, but I've seen some Electric Mistress schematics floating around at least.

I was looking here for a flanger the other day - had a buddy asking about having one made. I'd build it.

Would it be possible to build an electric mistress without volume loss and with a mix control?

Picked up a Flintlock Flanger the other day. Working on the BOM.

Just finished the Current Lover from Madbean. I am always up for building another flanger.

This is probably the most foolproof and consistent diy flanger. Fairly low cost and easy set up makes it a good choice for builders newer to the hobby. I still prefer it to any other flanger I've built.

The Current Lover doesn't have volume issues and it would be pretty easy to tack on a clean blend utility to the input.

I think there was already a version for 125B

And I am still a newbie. I really like the loop as well. Wouldn't that also work as a clean if you just jump it with a cable? Just a blend where R15 ,R16 and R17 come together.

Another Flanger worth doing is the Boss BF-2. I built one last year and it's a low count, easy build with low cost reissue bbd ic's. I've built the a/da, the boss, the ehx echo Flanger and electric mistress and the mxr, the electric mistress is my favorite but the boss is my second favorite cause the bf-2 was my first Flanger pedal in the early 90s and it's a good general purpose Flanger that will get you close to all the others.

Since you're our resident Flanger Specialist... I know Frank Zappa used 2 MicMix Dynaflanger and I'm looking at getting his 1979 tone.

Do you have any idea which of those Flangers you mentioned could do a good approximation?

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Thanks for your feedback!

I would probably go with the a/da (flintlock) as it would probably get you closest. But from my understanding the dynaflanges were stereo and ran at different settings at the same time. If that's what your really chasing then the most readily available stereo Flanger is the byoc stereo analog Flanger. Unless your a real glutton for punishment and want to hunt down some really hard to find parts and complex builds then deadendfx has some really cool flangers, but I don't know that they would be any better for this sound.
Here is a post that talks about your very question http://www.ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=14623&start=15

Thanks for the info.

From the link you mention in Zappa's interview he says: "I took three MXR Digital Delays -- two with minimum memory storage, and one with tons of it."

Well, I have the one with tons of it. (sorry for bragging)

You may have seen this already, Dali, but here's a neat little story about another Zappa digital delay (ADA Digitizer): http://beavisaudio.com/projects/fzdelay/

...throw in a Son of Kong?

...throw in a Son of Kong?

I just looked that one up - looks like it'd be fun!

I've been annoying to PedalPCB about that one!

There's this: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/son-of-kong-clone.4609/
and

DIDDY

Clone board of the Son of Kong EQ/Gain pedal. Apparently, this is the EQ section that Frank Zappa ran in all his guitars. Runs on a standard 9v...

But I would prefer a non-XLR version and with quality and craftmanship of PedalPCB stuff...

How about a flanger with a trigger option?

 

[giovanni]

The camoflange sounds really really good, I would like that.

Working on it, but stalled. My kingdom for a 1m3!

Bumping for more flange!
Seems like the only thing missing is an MXR-type. Madbean no longer makes his Collosalus board, which was the M117 adapted to use an MN3007 instead of the SAD1024. There's vero version floating around out there, but a fabbed board would be much better.
