If it's not apparent by now, I'll let you fellow pedal nuts in on a little secret... Analog flanger is my all time favorite effect. That being said though, I was trying to talk myself out of building this one. I was more than satisfied with the 3 builds I already have in my inventory but, you good folks kept posting build reports on this circuit and kept drawing me back in ;). I'm so glad I said, "Screw it", and gave this flanger a chance. It's absolutely glorious and my favorite build so far. I'm a "all effects in front of a JCM 800" kinda guy and this is the perfect match to my amp. Low noise floor and sounds phenomenal in front of distortion. After seeing other build reports, I decided to install sockets in the C23 position and audition various caps. I'm glad I did because it makes a big difference on your clock range. I ended up using a 33pf with my final numbers being 35khz on the low end to 1.2mhz on the high end. That's what sounded best to me. Aesthetically, I went the cheap and easy route and just copied MXRs style. I wanted to come up with something better but, due to work kicking my ass and barely anytime to work on personal projects, I just couldn't get inspired. I just wanted to finish the circuit and spend time playing the damn thing, so I could forget about work life. Anywho, enough of my personal B.S. and onto the pictures.

Thanks! I love it! My favorite flanger build thus far.
Really clean build, love it. This is sounding like a must build pedal at this point.
Killer build! Congrats. Flangers are my jam, too. 8)
This one sold me on 18V. It's just dead quiet, which as a fellow flanger nut you will recognize as something special.

Thanks! I doubt you would be disappointed and if you're a fan of flanger then this build is a must.

Huge thanks and as a fan of your builds, this compliment means a lot! You're absolutely right about the specialty of this circuit. Flangers are just a noisy circuit in general and to find something such as this that doesn't produce that "waves crashing against a shore" hiss in front of distortion... glory, glory, hallelujah 😁🙏.
Love the graphics and neat as hell! Kudos to still doing your thing even when life's getting in the way, not easily done.
That's one hottie with a naughty body

That is a sexy build, I love the simplicity of the art.
Very clean, great graphics. I want one!
