Off-board wiring
This is the same for all pedals, pretty much.
There’s a power input, a stereo 1/4” jack which serves as the input and powers the pedal up when
something is inserted, a mono 1/4” jack for the output, and either a DPDT stomp switch, or a
3PDT stompswitch if you want an LED to show you the on/off status of the effect.
Different requirements will need different wiring, and there are many ways to arrange things, but
here’s a basic 3PDT layout with indicator LED. The LED resistor will need adjusting for your
particular LED.
Adjustments and final testing
Ok, it’s the moment of truth. Power it up and plug it in. With a bit of care and attention, you should
now have a working flangerlicious pedal! Let’s get it tuned up.
There are two trimmers on the PCB that need adjusting. The first is the resonance trim (“Res”).
Turn the resonance knob on the far right up to maximum. It’s possible that the pedal will start to
howl at you, but it’s more likely that nothing much will happen. Tweak the resonance trim until the
flanger starts to oscillate, and then back it off just a little. Or not, if you prefer. Up to you.
The other trimmer is the clock balance / bleedthrough trim (“Bal”).
