A lot of their stuff is Colorsound based, maybe some luck that way?

Hmmm, thanks for that tip. I'll look into it.
That being said...do you have a colorsound flange schematic or link?

thanks

I don't have the schematic, but I've owned two of these - one bought new in '76 and the other bought used from Musical Exchanges when they had their fire sale (about '96 I think).

The flanger could be given a drastic improvement in sweep depth and richness by coupling the LDR to the LED positive side with a small capacitor - can't remember exactly what value, could have been about 2.2n. I modded both and was really pleased with the result. Both of my models only had a single LED/LDR - don't know if there were any variations in circuit over the years.

This is the Carlsbro Chorus. I should think that the flanger is pretty similar.

It is a very badly drawn circuit - a real muddle!

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.



Thanks for the schematic Stephan, I'll check it out to see if it's similar

Mick
So by "couple" do you mean to put a cap from one side of the LDR to the + side of the LED?
Does it matter which side of the LDR? Please explain if I'm wrong here. Thanks

John

Anyway; that schem is from the Schematics section of this site.
