Carlsbro - Minifex Chorus
Posted: 28 May 2014, 11:32
Hi, just scored one of these wee beasties off eBay for a very reasonable £16.89. I have a couple of the Alu series (Phase 2 and Flanger, both of which I really like) and having repaired the Alu Chorus for a friend (which I also liked) I thought it was worth a punt.
It has a nice, lush, vintage tone and contains an SAD512, unlike the 1024 of the Alu Chorus. It's housed in the same plastic enclosure which their amp footswitches came with, back in the 80s. Unusually, the controls are on the sides of the pedal.
There are two PCBs. This is the first:
Note the side-facing pots.
And the second...
The switch is identical to those used on an industrial chart recorder I used to test in a previous job. I kinda wish I'd snagged a few now, just in case!
If anyone is interested in further shots, wants the components listed, etc, just holler. I won't be putting it back together again for a few days yet.
