Wanted to verify something I'd speculated about in another thread- adding a wet/dry blend control to the BYOC Flanger.
It's a very useful control, especialy if you play bass, as it provides an option to subtly blend in the effect, which greatly expands the already very wide range of sounds this pedal will produce.
The mod simply involves removing three resistors and substituting a pot at the junction of R25, 26 & 27, but I found it also required the addition of a couple of resistors to balance the various signal levels too.
With the depth control set low, I found this configuration (50K pot and 15K and 18K resistors) matched the bypass volume and provided a range from totally dry to very wet.
I obtained these resistor values by rigging up four 50K pots, one as the blend control, and one on eachpot leg. Then hacking them into my pedal, fiddling with them, and finaly desolering and measuring their values.
To provide room for the pot, I relocated the DC jack about 5mm higher, then installed the wires, pot and resistors. I used a small piece of vero as a junction board. You could just as easily heat shrink them too.
Keith, if you're reading this, perhaps you'd consider changing the driling template a little, and move the dc jack enough to leave enough room for a 5th pot.
As you can see here, even though the spacing of the original holes was a bit wonky, there is room enough to place the dc jack between the in and stereo outs.
Despite the halfmoon DC glory hole, the mod also lends a pleasing symmetry to the control layout. Here it is, all buttoned up.
