Help Design a community pedal (Shimmer - Reverb.)

just curious, could it do a low octave shimmer too?.

It would be possible to used a octave down shimmer as well but I think it would become inaudible very quickly, it could be worth trying out and see how it sounds.

Doesn't even have to be octaves, you could do fifths, thirds or whatever you like.

Neat...

I have started a full project for the FV-1 (including shimmerverb) and have posted part one with info and schematics but will be posting more info later, just thought I would let everyone here know about it as it includes shimmer but will be much more as well.

A clean analog octave-down is much easier to produce than it's -up counterpart, especially if the octave-down sound is not a super prominent part of the total sound output of the effect. Check out the Boss OC3 and other analog octave-down schems... lots of relatively clean octave-downs out there.

I don't mean to attempt to divert this conversation, but can we consider bisecting this thread into two different threads?.. one regarding FV1- based reverb with octave/various-interval shimmers, and the other thread about trying to achieve the octave-up in the purely analog way? Although it's clear that the analog route is difficult and riddled with unwanted distortions and impurities I think there's still value in having a discussion about keeping things analog and pushing the boundaries of how clean we can make this thing. What do you guys think? I am really excited about the FV1, but maybe we can considering keeping FV1 DIY separate from analog DIY?

Either way, the designs in this thread are fantastic... thank you so much everyone who's contributed so far! Much love.

Hello, guys
I want so badly to make a shimmer, but can`t find schematics for it. Could anybody send me it to email or somehow? I can`t see pictures here, they seem to be deleted . Thanks.
