The SAD1024 version will run at 9v, you just need to adjust the bias.

True, but 15v provides more headroom. The problem is that mn3207 has a limit of 9v and cannot be run on 15v no matter what, so 9v is the ceiling.

is more always better? Do we really need 15V for a guitar-signal? I'd say it can be run perfectly on 9V, signal-wise.

Gila_Crisis

nice tread!
it would be nice if someone can make a tutorial how to change the SAD1024 with the MN3007, if the basis is always the same for every SAD1024 based FX.
this would be great, 'cause SAd1024 are becoming almost impossible to find nowadays!

Yes, and the additional headroom would also allow multitrack recorder processing.

Ever seen a clock + buffer using LM339 + CMOS4069? This seems to use 3 gates in parallel to drive 2 x MN 3005.

All you need to do is reverse the power connections.

So now, GND goes to MN3207 pin 1 and V+ goes to pin 5. The circuitry connected to MN3007 pin 1 in your circuit should still be connected to MN3207 to filter the + power supply but the trimmer coming from MN3207 pin 7/8 should now be referenced to ground instead. Pin 4 doesn't matter whether it's referenced to ground or power if I recall...

Compare the schematics for the FL9 and the FL301, and you can see it's only the power rails and output resistor that need to be rewired.

If you were going to insert header pins on the PCB that could allow for jumpering, that would allow for one PCB to accommodate both chips. Excellent idea!

So, to show how the 3207 would work in the schematic, you would just simply relabel pin 1 as pin 5, and relabel pin 5 as pin 1... swap them? And, of course, include a +9V regulator for the 3207.

If that's right, it would be pretty easy to do the layout with a couple of jumpers so that either chip could be used. Any other thoughts on this?

and then... "The Universal ADA Layout"... well, maybe not right now. ;)

I'll just work on the 3007/3207 hybrid layout for now. 8)

do you by any chance have the schematic available as an eagle-file?

Thanks for posting this schem, Charlie. I've been putting off flangers for a long time, mainly due to lack of SAD1024 chips. I'm going to thoroughly enjoy the pain involved in veroing this circuit over christmas!   :D ;D :D ;D

OK. Just to be clear, here is my interpretation. Someone please set me straight if something isn't right, or give me a thumbs-up if it all looks good.

MN3007 setup...


MN3207 setup


Aside from adding a 9V regulator on the +V rail for the MN3207, does that look correct?

The 1k & 14k resistors need to be switched around so Vgg=14/15Vdd.

Thanks, Dave. I'm kinda tied up today, but should be able to post the new ADA layout, updated to use either 3007 or 3207, within the next couple of days. 8)
