Title: Swoosh
Post by: cooder on January 12, 2022, 10:16:16 PM
A flanger, of course.

Madbean Collosalus flanger with added active mix/blend board from clean to 100 wet.
The Mix control can be run with expression pedal, once exp jack is inserted in switching jack the dashboard pot is deactivated. Good fun to dive into the swoosssh bomb.

This one has been sitting around awhile in the "to be finished heap" as I was waiting on the last parts to arrive. Nice to get it buttoned up.
Acrylic faceplate with laser decal while my printer was still working, now it's dead...
Very cool sounding flanger indeed.

And before you quite rightly say that there's a whole lot of empty wasted space, yes, right. I use really only 125B or as in this case 1590XX enclosures because my pedal board is kinda modular setup which works relentlessly only for these two sizes on purpose. And I can live happily with that.
My feet as well, they are not the smallest either.

Another amazing build. I love those acrylic clear faceplates and that black paint inside the enclosure

Using an expression pedal for the mix is a really cool idea! Never thought of it myself. Great build as always!

Awesome build, Stephan!  I also have a mix of 125Bs and 1590XXs on my gigging board.

My first reaction was, "W H A T, the Collosalus is available in the shop again?" (only to be disappointed)
But, an awesome build, and no doubt the envy of many right now who also would like a Collosalus board....

Yes it's cool when there extra space available. The MIX is not on original circuit, it is the purple extra board, active blend control really. Works well.
