   JH.    "Son of Storm Tide"   Flanger


Some years ago, I've built the "Storm Tide Flanger", which was much inspired by a certain vintage Flanger, as a one-off box for myself.
Here is a PCB project for a Flanger that uses different BBD chips, isn't that close to the vintage original circuit-wise, and has a number of features that I have developed myself, or which have their origin in other vintage FX devices.

Here's a picture how a front panel for the new Flanger could look like (This is behind which I'll build my own prototype):



And here's a glimpse of the PCB layout:


Inside The Prototype
(A lot of wires - but you decide which features you want to implement, and wht potentiometers and switches to omit! I can imagine this would make a nice stomp box with just a pedal for the "Manual" pot, plus the "Bounce" function, alone ...)



Audio Demos


1st Audio Demo (first few seconds dry, then Flanger) - CS50 -> Flanger -> some Echo and Reverb
SOST Flanger on Drums - Korg Electribe S -> SOST -> tiny bit of Reverb
Karplus-Strong Experiment 1 (first dry, then with Flanger)
Karplus-Strong Experiment 2 (first dry, then with Flanger)
Experiment with Wavefolder and Flanger: Self-Oscillations of all kind
