Analogman Chorus Depth switch....interesting

Sign in to disble this ad
Apparently the deep switch on the analogman chorus is a delay time control. I just thought it was interesting and wanted to pass that along. Also, the switch is not available as a knob...yet.

Yep- I'm about to mod my Small Clone with a Delay Time pot. It would be possible to do this to an Analogman too, but I think probably unnecessary for most chorus tones. I just figured why not? I'm not sure of the sound difference between the two strategies- the pot modification just involves adding a larger capacitor (which extends the delay time by changing the clock time of the BBD delay chip) in series with a pot (replacing a fixed resistor in the stock Small Clone). The switch mod like Analogman uses just changes the capacitor only (I think the 3 way switch uses two capacitors and the center of the switch puts them in series for a 3rd choice). Apparently there's only so far you can go with the delay time without introducing more apparent clock noise into the signal, which is probably why most just mod them with switches- Analogman also claims to have found certain values of capacitor that he thinks are perfect for each tone, so eliminating potentially less than stellar possible tones keeps his reputation high (more people are likely to rave about a pedal that is incapable of extreme tones than one that is easy to tweak into unusability!).

I'm interested to see how successful my mods are- I'll try to get some clips when I'm done (the next few days if all goes well).
