WHAT IS IT?

The PastFx Kurt's Cologne is based upon the classic chorus circuit associated with the 90's Grunge sound.

Features of Kurt's Cologne

• True Bypass
• Uses Panasonic MN3007 BBD
• Stereo Outputs 
• Mix control (Reduces the amout of modulated signal) 
• Level control - controls volume on both stereo outputs.
• Internal Balance trimpot - allows stereo output volume adjustments.
• Depth Rotary switch - unique 8 way switch for precise chorus depth selection.
• Position 3 = low slide switch position
• Position 8 = high slide switch position
• Rate control with corresponding red LFO LED providing a visual indicator of modulation speed.
• White pushbutton phase switch. This switch allows the phase of the second output to be reversed.
• When engaged the Red "effect on" LED with change to blue.
• Low and Hi cut pushbuttons. These subtle mods allow reduction in selected frequencies from the wet modulated signal. 
• Unique 3 way Decade switch, allows selection between 3 different versions of the classic chorus of which it is based.
• Operates off 9-18VDC and does not have any internal voltage doubler circuit. This help keep floor noise to a minimum.
• Please only use high quality 9-18VDC regulated power supply with 2.1mm Boss style Negative tip.
• Cheap switchmode power supplies, will guarantee noise issues and performance issues!
• Current draw 50 mA

Big Thanks to Scruffie for his assistance in this project.

Without his input, this pedal would not had come into fruition :)

PX-251 CONTROL PROCESSOR

Our take on the discontinued Moogerfooger CP-251 CONTROL PROCESSOR,

which is known for its use on the Red Hot Chili Peppers song Dani California.

Omitting the mixer and Four-way Multiple sections.

we have managed to squeeze the circuit into an extremely compact size.

Features:

• Footswitchable (able to stop the control signal output handsfree)
• 2 outputs (A & B)  
• Phase pushbutton - Output A only (Press in to match the phase of Output B)
• 4 - Way Waveform selector switch - select between the following
• Triangle, Square, External LFO & Noise 
• LFO Rate and visual red lfo led
• Attenuator (Depth)
• EXP jack and Pushbutton - using an EP-3 Expression jack with TRS cable the LFO rate cn be adjusted, pressing in EXP button will allow the Attenuator to be controlled. (Operation may be affected by the Phase button when using Output A)
• LAG Processor - Two controls become activated when the Lag button is pressed, Rise and Fall. The RISE knob varies the rate at which the rising part of a waveform is slowed down, while the FALL knob varies the rate at which the descending part of a waveform is slowed down.
• S & H - (Sample and Hold) White pushbutton only activated
• Smooth - Is the second output of the original S & H which is a smoothed subtler version of the stepwise output.(Both white pushbuttons must be pressed for Smooth S & H )
• Noise - Random White Noise source
• Like the original, in order to obtain the bipolar voltages, a voltage converter circuit is used. In some circumstances noise issue may occur if being used with poor quality power supplies and other pedals with similar power sections. This is not a fault with the pedal. With high quality powering, rare issues can generally be avoided!
• DO NOT USE CHEAP SWITCHMODE POWER SUPPLIES LIKE ONESPOTS ETC!!!
• +9VDC supply. Boss Style 2.1mm Negative Tip!  No longer need a special positive ground powering plug like the original!
• Compact size - 
• Dimensions: 112 x 60 x 31mm / 4.4" x 2.36" x 1.22" (enclosure only)
• Current draw: TBA mA 

NOW WITH NEW TRUE BYPASS MOD SWITCH!

The new internal slide switch allows either true bypass or always on preamp like the original!

 Our take on the discontinued Moogerfooger MF-101 Lowpass filter,

which is known for its use on the Red Hot Chili Peppers song Dani California.

As well as including extra features,

we have managed to squeeze the circuit into an extremely compact size.

Features:

• Original or True Bypass (new internal switchable mod)
• Includes new Level control.
• Drive control - Adjusts the signal input gain
• Mix - controls the blend of both straight input signal and filtered signals. CW = Filtered.
• To achieve the "Preamp" sound without the filter simply turn the Mix FCCW
• Resonance  changes the shape of the frequency response. Oscillation can occur at extreme settings.
• Care must be taken to avoid damage to hearing and equipment when using Resonance control in high settings.
• 2 / 4 Pole switch - controls the signal passing through half or all the filter. 2 Pole = Brighter sound , 4 Pole = Deeper mellow.
• Smooth / Fast switch - selects the Envelope Follower response
• Envelope Amount -  controls how much the envelope signal is used to modulate the filter cutoff.
• The ENV LED provides a visual display of the envelope strength.
• Filter Cutoff - sets the frequency of which the filter opens and closes.
• Dual colour LED level indicator.The drive control adjusts the input gain with the LED providing visual feedback of how strong the input signal is.
• EXP Jack. Using an EP-3 expression pedal or similar (50K-100K Linear pot ) 4 of the following can be controlled: MIX, AMOUNT, RESONANCE, CUTOFF.
• Switch one of the corresponding internal dip switches (only one activated at once!) to select which parameter to control. The control interacts with the current knob position. Therefore if knob being controlled is set at maximum, the expression will have no effect.
• For experience users, Internally there are 2 trimpots. New sensitivity control &  Frequency Cutoff.
• Like the original, in order to obtain the bipolar voltages, a voltage converter circuit is used. In some circumstances noise issue may occur if being used with poor quality power supplies and other pedals with similar power sections. This is not a fault with the pedal. With high quality powering, rare issues can generally be avoided!
• +9VDC supply. Boss Style 2.1mm Negative Tip!  No longer need a special positive ground powering plug like the original!
• Compact size - 
• Dimensions: 112 x 60 x 31mm / 4.4" x 2.36" x 1.22" (enclosure only)
• Current draw: 120mA 
• More to come....
