1590A Flanger and Cornish-style OD's

[dan.schumaker]

Here is the last few I've been working on.

First is the Cosmic Rift Flanger.  Thomasha already beat me to a Electric Mistress in a impossibly small container, but here is my take on it.  I needed to go slightly longer on the board to get everything to fit on it and that left just a little less room for the relay bypass board, but the lid fit on just fine and it works great fully boxed.

Next is the Secret Agent.  This is similar to the Cornish SS-3.  This has an always on Cornish input buffer, and I added a Baxandall tone stack to give control over the treble and bass content.  This is a pretty cool drive, being based in the Distortion+ family tree.

Here is the Outcast OD/Fuzz.  This is based on the G2.  I originally had 1N34A's as the clipping diodes, but it was really quiet, and I didn't care for the sound at all.  Replaced them with BAT41's, and it roars to life.  I know the 1N34A's is what separates it from every other Muff, but I like the sound where it landed.  Like the Secret Agent, this one also has the Cornish Buffer in front.

Lastly is the Wasteland.  This is the Cornish NG-2 Fuzz.  Lots of fun tones in here, playing around with the interaction of the Drive and Sustain controls.  Like the previous two, this has the always on buffer as well.

That, sir, is a tiny flanger- inspirational 1590A skills indeed!

I especially dig your "Secret Agent" graphic.

Speaking as a man who built a Klee sequencer, those are bloody insane.

Nice builds, Dan.  I always appreciate a densely packed 1590A build.
