Do you have a vintage EHX Echoflanger/Polychorus/Polyflange? I need you!

In conjunction with Lectric-FX i've been working on a DIY project of the vintage EHX Echoflanger/Polychorus/Echoflange updated to use MN3007 or V/BL/MN3207 instead of the originals 2 x SAD1024.

We have a working prototype going and the last thing we need is to check the clock frequencies (albeit doubled) match an original units to make sure no changes are needed in the Clock/VCO.

So if you have a means of taking a frequency measurement and have an original we'll happily offer one of the finished PCBs as a thank you if you can help out.

Here's the board so far;



Thanks!

Just to clarify, the vintage Polychorus will have a 'Blend' slide switch, not the 'Sweep Filter' found on the reissue.

Hi! Nearly finished (as long as there's no surprises) few more weeks, i'm just building up the V2 prototype and then i'll be comparing it to an original EHX unit I have in for repair.

Pop over to the madbeanpedals forum if you want to keep updated, don't want to feel like i'm spamming the project here.

Cheers.
