Yes if you you're talking ADA Flanger then yeah, I'm really impressed, sounds great but then I don't have another flanger to compare it with. I actually built Harold Sabro's vero layout based on the Moosapotamus version using the MN3007 BBD.

The A/DA flanger is one of the most desirable units of this type of effect, primarily because the clocking circuit allows for VERY wide sweeps - much wider than is found in many other commercial pedals.

That board is very large. I should look around for it.

I'm considering to buy a PCB based on the Electric Mistress.

Thanks guys, for those that don't already know I have a Timebender. I'm all about synergy so ideally, I'd like to build a pedal that gets me a flange effect without much tone/sound overlap. Do the flangers suggested herein give decent delay and chorus sounds? If so, I might be tempted to get rid of my Timbender and use the flange pedal for everything the Timebender does.

none of the flangers ive built i use for chorus sounds except the electric mistress, if your in here building pedals, i would build as many as you can, if you dont like them just sell them , I do !, i havent came across 1 flanger that does it all, the 3 ive suggestion can do most things, subtle,  extreme , jet , andy summers etc etc
