- ? / no name flanger (stereo flanger)
Hi all,
Full of knobs, full of charachter, full of possibilities. :D A vast array of sounds available from each, from the most classical sounds to the weirdest noises. It's a shame that they're not made anymore. :(
<size=18>[b]COMPLETE PROJECTS:[/b]</size> Those are ready to transfer, verified and working clones. If they're exact clones, that is (I guess they should be). 8)

[b]- Brown source (overdrive):[/b] [url=

[/url][color=red] The project and layout is now available, and according to the guy who posted it, the effect has been reverse engineered and verified.[/color] At first sight, it seems very close in the design to the Big Cheese. Perhaps you can even build both with the same board - please don't throw to many stones at me for saying this, I just have taken a quick look at the schems!
[size=18][b]PARTIALLY DONE PROJECTS:[/b][/size] All those effects lack something to be "complete projects", and it's written in red. But for the brave diy-guy, they can be built anyway, as they all have, at least, an unverified schematic. :D
[b]- Wobulator (stereo trem/panner):[/b] [url=http://www.aronnelson.com/DIYFiles/up/Wobulator_v3.pdf]schematic here.[/url] [color=red]Theorically, an official "project, schematic and layout pdf" should be released in a not-so-far future by the guy who's now building and debugging the proto effect.[/color]
[size=18][b]MISSING EFFECTS:[/b][/size]
I have no info at all about the following effect (apart from some threads which led to, err, nothing). Apparently, there's a source for pics/info to "reverse enigneer" the effect and someone willing to take the challenge of making a schem. Don't expect any of this, obviously, to be available (if ever) anywhere soon. The no name flanger project, according to the links posted by Kahel, is currently in process. :D
[b]- Doppelganger (phaser/vibrato):[/b] - [b]- ?/no name flanger (stereo flanger):[/b] -
So, if any of you guys has any info regarding those pedals, please let me know! I've searched the web for hours without success (ie= any schematic or useful building info). It's a shame such great designs get lost! :evil:
See you! PS. A thousand thanks to all those who, directly or not, are contributing to the cause! ;)
