Product Overview
From the manufacturer:
Having built a number of flangers over the years from the exceptional to adequate (I’m not naming names) I can say with reasonable confidence that the BF-2™ falls into the top half of the flanger bell curve. Perhaps not quite as beloved as the MXR 117 or EHX Electric Mistress, the BF-2 holds its own and is likely to satisfy many builders who need a high quality, straight-forward flanger pedal that is easy to build and relatively low cost.
The Fraudhacker is a faithful adaption of the BF-2™. The only modifications made were the removal of the Boss flip-flop bypass (in favor of true bypass), and the option of using different BBD technologies depending on part availability. This flanger circuit should be accessible to most experience levels and I can recommend it as a worthy addition to your arsenal.
Controls
• RATE: Modulation speed.
• MAN: Used for manual control of the flanger in place of the LFO to set a notched frequency center. MAN is somewhat interactive with the RATE and DEPTH controls and works best when the latter are set at 50% and below.
• DEPTH: Modulation intensity.
• RES: Modulation feedback.
• BIAS: This trimmer sets the voltage input bias of the BBD.
• CLOCK: This trimmer sets the maximum operational frequency of the clock chip (it should be 50kHz for the Fraudhacker).
• T1: This trimmer is used to limit the amount of feedack introduced with the Res control to prevent the flanger from going into self-oscillation.
