Yeah, I'd be interested in one of those. I'd probably put 4 MN3005s in it! Lol! I really like how the repeats stay so clean for an analog delay with the MoW.

Build Reports / Man O War Deluxe
September 29, 2019, 01:17:25 AM
Ok, so I built the Man-o-War dx and calibrated it. Pretty straight forward. I have built the Total Recall and AQDX delays in the past, so this one came together pretty fast.
Here are some observations, please chime in if I'm way off:
When "tails" is the only thing going to the output, the indicator is off. I flipped it around, so indicator is on with tails only, and off when delay is going through. I don't know if I explained that well. Lol!
LVL trimpot has to be turned up, like a good 2/3 of the way up to get around unity gain. I also have T1 turned most of the way up so the repeats go on for a LONG time. I don't know if it's infinite repeats, but there are a lot of them! Nice thing about them is that the repeats remain fairly clean... Much cleaner than the repeats on the ABDX.
The MoW can go into oscillation but both T1 and LVL have to be turned all the way up.
I did use a 78L12 to give the MoW 12 volts regulated. All Electronics has a 12.5 volt DC adaptor for $3.50 which actually puts out 14.5 volts, so it's great with this setup.
I didn't have 1/8 watt resistors so I just used 1/4 watters and did the Japanese transistor radio trick to get them to fit. Lol!
I'm really thinking about using one MN3101 clock and just solder a wire from pin 2 to pin 2 and pin 6 to pin 6 of the BBD chips. Why, you may ask??? Because I'm cheap and I can use the second clock for something else!
Anyway, this is a great delay, the repeats are super clean but a very different delay than the ABDX. I like them both!

Any other common devices going EOL that you guys know about? I got onto the final run of 2n5089's but somehow missed this one
I ordered some SIP dual op amps for the Flintlock flanger from Mouser and all the ones I checked out have a "Not for New Designs - Obsolete" notification

Build Reports / Re: VFE Tractor Beam (1st VFE build)

My only question is that trimmer for the jfet, I found that if the trimmer is set almost all the way ccw I get the most phasing.
The one I built is set almost all the way CCW also because otherwise the phasing is pretty weak. I guess that's normal then.

You can probably bank on it being 400Kohms.
My money is on it being 400K also, especially with the low 1.5K ON resistance it has.

VFE Projects / Re: Choral Reef Voltage for Power Input
April 25, 2019, 05:03:16 AM
Hi,
Thanks for the link and info.
The Choral Reef is a great chorus plus with the extra stages of the MN3008 it can get into slapback territory. It works well at 9 volts but these BBD chips work much better at 15 volts. I plan on sticking a LT1054 doubler in the box with the C.R. to get the 15 volts.
Thanks again

VFE Projects / Any Available boards for the VFE Yodeler???
April 22, 2019, 11:11:52 PM
Hi again,
I'm late to the party (again!) and was wondering if anyone has any Yodeler boards available for sale? It would be much appreciated...
Thanks
Daniel

VFE Projects / Choral Reef Voltage for Power Input
April 22, 2019, 11:08:52 PM
Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum here; it's a great source of information!
My question is can I power my Choral Reef with 15 volts? The zener on the switching board is 16 volts, so I am assuming it will work with a 15 volt supply? I find that these BBD projects work much better at 12-15 volts vs. 9 volts.
Thanks.
