I was wondering if anybody had build any analog T.C. elec. stuff? (flanger,chorus,delay)

I didn't intend on it but somehow my rig started to look like Eric Johnson's rig (dumble
type amp,misc NOS homebrew fuzzies,echoplex,etc. You dig right?

   I play jam band stuff so I am not really going for the E.J. thing but I had seen
some T.C. pedals on his pedalboard a while back and figured what the hell I might
as well try to build one. Problem is I don't have any schem's  :'( :'( ???

Maybe one of you guys did or have something...............? I would Greatly appreciate it :icon_smile:

I don't know, but looking at their website I'm certainly digging this...

But on topic, I haven't seen anything like that around. Perhaps someone else has, but have your googled much?

Modern companies are typically fairly protective of their pedal schematics, I think, and thats added to the fact that there hasn't been decades for people to tweak, mod, trace , and distribute them.

I don't think you would have much luck unless you asked someone who has one to break it out and trace it for you. Anyways, flangers choruses and delays are really "basic" pedals, i.e. they have a limited amount of ways to create them with analog components. You could get the same effects fairly easily without directly tracing them I think.

Although I was planning on looking into the TC phasers "peak/notch" system because I do like the versatility of that control, maybe try methods to replicate it on the B-board.

Depends on which one you are talking about.  The SCF (Stereo Chorus Flanger) has been around since the early eighties.

I have a feeling, though, that it would take a lot of tweaking of your PCB to match the performance of the SCF - with a S/N ratio of 100dB, and 120VAC in the box, layout has got to matter!

That said, I would LOVE to find a schematic for their parmetric EQ or one of their Intergrated Preamps.  KILLER pedals.
