Does anybody know of a flanger or chorus that uses the older 16 pin version of the SAD512?

I've scoured the net and all I can find are schematics for the SAD512D eight pin version.

If you can clue me into the effect I can look in that direction for the schematic.

I'm doing some research for the low voltage BBD tester and since the SAD1024 and the SAD512 pin arrangement are so close, I was planning to use CMOS switching and a rotary switch to make it possible to use the same Ziff socket for both the 512 and the 1024.

I need to see how the unused pins are dealt with. The data sheet doesn't address those pins and there's no example showing their connection/non connection to ground.
I just designed a new fuzz circuit! It almost sounds a little different than the last fifty fuzz circuits I designed! ;)

You could probably use it in any SAD1024A circuit where the 2 sections are paralleled, such as the Electric Mistress.

I think Reticon labeled SAD512 the half working SAD1024...  :icon_twisted:

Thanks for the replies,

You know....I'm beginning to think that their were no mass produced effect pedals using the SAD512 16 pin version.

I can't find a reference to even one pedal!

I never noticed that before! I don't think that I ever paid attention to the pin count if I saw that an effect schematic listed a SAD512.

Now that I'm looking for an example......they are all SAD512D pin outs!

Can somebody prove me wrong?

Although not exactly a "pedal", the Arp Omni 2 synthesizer used 3 of them for their chorus/flange effect.
They were the 16 pin versions.

Thanks for the lead!

I should be able to figure this out now.
