[sdiy] Flanger???

Guys,

After finding that the Analog System's Comb Filter was sort of a bust in as
far as flanging,  I have been looking around for one and had a crazy idea
just to modify a store bought guitar pedal with a VC input or two.

Then, I found this circuit on John Hollis' site:

You will see there an LFO on the bottom left which is generating the sweep,
and figured this is the place to plop in the VC input.

Does anyone have any experience with this particular circuit, or could any
of you recommend another circuit which would do the job?

A clarification on Analog System's Comb FIlter:  I am not meaning to spam
one of my fav synth builders, not at all.  Their multi=mode filters are one
of the sweetest out there. Their Comb Filter did not give the effects I was
after in flanging or phasing, that's all.  It kind of is an auto Adrian
Belew generator, as anything going into it tends to sound like Ade coming
out.  This isn't a bad thing, it just didn't do what I wished, so I swaped
it for a Doepfer phasor. Am still in need to that all powerful flange
however.

Let me know and thanks,

Peter
