Yeah. It's like a Singing Geisha, but on steroids. More like a katana slinging, ass kicking, screaming samurai banshee wah. A real adjective factory  :icon_mrgreen:

...
nope. the reply i posted here was not correct.
More stuff, less fear, less  hassle and less censoring? How 'bout it??. To discuss what YOU want to discuss instead of what others decide for you. It's possible...

But not at diystompboxes.com...... regrettably

UPDATE!!!
And, without further ado, the updated vero;

Hello,
Necrobumping the thread... Any chance to get a working link for the veroboard layout of this filter ?
Would anyone still have got it on its hard drive ?
Thank you ;)

I guess so, yes : thank you !
(by the way, it is tagged as "unverified" : in the meantime, did anyone managed to built it successfully by following this layout ?)

In the gallery...

BTW, I have an original unit awaiting restoration. The enclosure has a couple of extra holes drilled in it, which need to be filled in, and then completely painted. It needs to be completely rewired as well, since the previous owner gutted it, leaving only the board intact.

Thank you, Digi2T.
By the way, do you know if the filter in this pedal is anything like the Korg Mr Multi or the Keio/Korg Maxikorg/800DV "traveller" filter ?
(Funnily enough, I remembered this Traveler pedal after being on your website, browsing the Mr Multi PCB ;) )

Still unverified.

If you look through my folder, the Mr. Multi files are there as well. You can compare schematics, they are drastically different. The Multi is a phaser.

Also, there seems to be two versions of the Synth Traveler; one with inductor, and one without. The Hendrik schematic shows the version without. The unit I have at home sports the board with the inductor, but I've never got around to sussing out the differences between the two.

Version 1 (what I have) -



Version 2 (what the vero is based on) -



From my research, information on these is pretty convoluted, so not really sure wish version came first or second, or during which years.

It's quite surprising how different both circuits seem to be  :icon_eek:
For the Mr Multi, I think I will be ordering a PCB from DeadEndFX  :icon_biggrin:

I was asking the question because the Mr Multi is indeed a phaser, but also a wah (therefore, a filter of some kind), and i had seen a video where it produced very nice sounds on a Farfisa, and sounded more like a "filter" than a "wah".
