I love you. ILF loves you :group:

Please now make us a phaser.

You know you want too.

-Love

Max

and probably everyone else

I think the Flanger Thread had first dibs.

You phaser people with your lack of notches...

Plus he's probably all busy with the Cosmichorus at the moment... but once that and the ultimate RRR are done, Flanger!

What is this Tap Tempo CV controller that you speak of?

Ryan mentioned it in the Ultimate Chorus update thread:

Ryan wrote:Further to this idea, I noticed I've got several pedals that can run off a CV (GK3, WMD Geiger Counter, Fairfield 4Eyes, Montreal Assembly WSoU, Moog filter) but the only thing I have that can output a CV for them is the GK3... so I'm thinking it could be very cool to make a little CV control box that had tap tempo and a bunch of waveform options. You'd plug it into your analog CC (or Tremolessence with a small mod) and be able to use all those extra features. (I'm hoping Austin, maker of the GK3, might be interested in collaborating on it but this is all just ponderings right now)

A Dr. Scientist CV controller would be so AWESOME! :joy: :omg: :!!!:

I've only recently discovered the great things that can result when CV is involved.

I think it's time for a boutique pitch shifter... :idk:

Well dudes, I do think I know what I want to work on next.... but it ain't a phaser or a flanger or a decked out RRR! *ducks*

I gotta make the effects that I like the most, the stuff I want to play and enjoy playing and love the sounds of the most.. and for me, it's not phasers or flangers. Maybe one day I'll grow into that a bit more but for now, it would be an insincere pedal since I just don't go nuts for those sounds. There's no passion there!

The decked out Reverberator is still on hold since I don't know what Wavefront is doing with their converters and they're a big part of the circuit. Last month when I arranged the next round of mini-RRR pcbs I was told that this would be my last chance to purchase their converters but they don't have a replacement product yet. So next time around I'm probably going to have to change the circuit to use maybe the Cool Audio converter package and I think it'll be then that I can decide what to do about a decked out RRR. (Cause I'm thinking I can also use the Cool Audio reverb engine along with the Wavefront engine for a super decked out stereo reverb pedal)

Next up, I really want a delay back in our line. And I really don't want to use the PT2399 again. So I've been planning a stereo delay based around the V3205 and it'll also contain the CV controller and be able to control other pedals with tap and waveforms.

I also want to release a CV control box too.. it'll be a tap tempo CV controller with a few synced outputs and a choice of waveforms. You'll be able to plug it into the CC, the Trem, plus lots of pedals from other companies, and feed in a tap tempo waveform or a manually foot-controlled CV signal for manual sweeping of the CC, Trem, whatever. A digital computer that can be plugged into my analog pedals to give them a different kind of control.

I love this idea too and dream about making one one day but this is a serious effect right here.. the reason you don't see a lot of awesome clean pitch shifters is because of the level of software processing that you need to pull it off. It's a challenge for the best software engineers of the big guys. For a guy that took 3 months to figure out soft touch switching, this is a multi-year challenge.

3205 Delay would be my next suggestion next to Flanger, that's so cool you're doing an Analog Delay!

Yeah Pete! I think it can basically follow the signal path of the new CC too, same ins and outs and filtering and I'm gonna compand it. *gets on soap box* All the best delays use companders! OK, I'm done.

I'm a little apprehensive about having to use the 5V V3205 chips but it's them or nothing nowadays. You ever messed around with them, Pete? PS - did you check out my new CC pcb in that other thread? Biggest smd build yet!

Yeah... you don't have much of a choice but to compand Analog Delay... but yeah!

5V? Nahh, run them round 8V2, Terminal Voltage is 11V I think, best operating voltage is just below 9V I seem to recall.

And yeah I have messed with them :)

Edit: Yeah I did see the CC Guts! Super bad ass build, looks like the most comprehensive Chorus design i've ever seen and all in a Stomp Box!

Nice, I thought they wanted a 5V regulator... a few extra volts is great. Well since you've messed with them, come on over and set some up! My breadboard is your breadboard, buddy! *smile*

Thanks for looking at that layout.. I was hoping you'd like it!

Nooo, I always use a 8V2 Zener, some people don't like Shunt Regulators though but yeah 9V is cool with them, no regulators needed, well unless you count over voltage protection.

Haha, okay, i've booked the next flight, you remembered to buy the beer and pizza right... right...?
