Hello, anyone has an idea of an efficient way to bypass the feedback section (therefore converting this pedal in pretty much a chorus). Thanks

Thought this might help you get an answer.... Just compare the two. I think you could just disconnect the resonance pot but I'm unsure. Someone here smarter than me should know though.

Hi Lani,

You're right: disconnect the resonance potentiometer causes to stop the flanger effect.
But, the delay time of a flanger is shorter than the usual delay needed to create a chorus, so will be interesting try disconnect the mentioned pot and see what happens.
