ALL SMD PARTS COME READY SOLDERED
Flanger is a bit of an understatement for Jürgen Haible’s incredible reinvention of a vintage effect unit. The Son of Storm Tide Flanger is now back in a slightly modernized version:
- PCB size has been reduced to 6″ x 4″.
- Obsolete CA3046 has been replaced by LM3046 (on the bottom side!)
- No more upright resistors or resistor arrays
- 1uF Film caps as an alternative to electrolytics
- BF545A (SMT) as an alternative to BF245A.
- You still need 2x TDA1022 BBD chips ( 2 AA 143 germanium diodes are included with the PCB)
- MTA-156 power connector for +/-15V (or experimental: +/-12V) – don’t install the onboard-PSU parts if you use a regulated power supply!!!
- Some connectors have been moved to the edge of the board to allow connecting component pcbs via pin headers – downside: space may be too tight to use normal headers. Workaround: use (breakable) precision sockets for manual wiring or testing.
- Board is big, very dense, requires some rare parts (see rare parts kit below) and may have to be hard-wired due to space restrictions – wiring can be a challenge. Only recommended for experienced builders!

DOCUMENTATION
The following info is for v1.01 of the 2015 Haible SOST pcb by R*S only – (not for the original Haible board!). Any information is preliminary and subject to change – please compare against Jürgen’s original documentation – don’t simply rely on the files here.
All information provided is strictly for personal / educational use only.
Please do not distribute / mirror.
ORDER INFO / DISCLAIMER
A limited number of pcbs is now available for experienced builders. Please not that this is a DIY project involving a fairly complex board designed to be powered by +/-15V (+/-12V seems to work as well but may need some adjustments).
