racking an auto flanger and phaser

[jharry]

I just picked up a couple of these on ebay. I need them racked. Any tips anyone?

MXR's?

There is a sticker with the pinout... if you need the pinout give me a call at the office and I'll find it for you.

What I usually do with them is cut holes in an aluminum blank rack panel with a Dremel tool [takes like 4-5 "metal cutting" disks per hole] then pop in the modules and use a Sharpie to mark where the screw holes will need to go... then drill out those holes.

Drill out another hole for a switch...

Then add a power supply [I run mine at +24vdc... but you can run them on as little as 12 volts if I remember correctly]... wire up the edge connector [which is the same edge connector that fits on Neve 1272's... a very happy coincidence].

Run the "CV outs /CV ins" to a double pole single throw switch. In the "off" position you want the CV out to loop to the CV in on the individual module... in the "on" position you'll want the CV out of one module to connect to the CV in of both modules... this way you can control the sweep from one set of controls.

I'm damn near positive that's how you do the CV wiring... it's probably been 10 years since I wired up a set.

I have 2x Auto-Phasors and 2x Auto-Flangers that I'm about to rack in a panel that will go over my patchbay [along with 2x Mini-Limiters... be jealous].

I plan on adding a "banana" style connector patchbay for the "CV" connections so I can link what ever modules I feel like at any time. Hopefully I'll get around to it before there is a new occupant in the White House... I'm a lazy fukk.
