|  | MXR Flanger Question for Richard Baines
« Thread Started on Oct 18, 2009, 3:35pm » | |
I have had my MXR flanger for 25 or so years and it recently came down with an illness. I determined that the internal transformer has died. I found this excellent website and Richards in depth report on the MXR flanger. I was hoping you could help me understand how to convert my pedal to incorporate the 9v to 17v step up circuit coupled with a low dropout 15v voltage regulator you spoke about in the build report. I have figured out how to bypass the transformer and run wires to a D/C jack. I would like to power the pedal with my Voodoo Labs pedal power 2 and was curious if you have any suggestions. I am inclosing a few pics of my baby, Thanks in advance.

The problem with fitting that 15v regulator circuit to an original MXR Flanger is that theres just no space inside the box to do it, but if you've figured out how to tap off the DC input with wires then you should be able to power them from an external box you make yourself. Just try obtain a small metal chassis (from smallbear electronics or somewhere similar) , and put a pair of power jacks on either side of the chassis, one for 9v in, one for 15v out.
I did find out after making the report that you can buy a 15v transformer quite easily though, so thats another option.
