CFV-2
The CFV-2 is the world's only True-Stereo INPUT & OUTPUT Analog Chorus/Flange/Vibrato, meaning it is truly 2 separate pedals (with 2 delay chips) joined at the hip, yet doing exactly the opposite of each other. I played the big ugly prototype for hours yesterday and was struck with how great the preamp sounds, how you could not get it to break up in an ugly way, and I play heavy strings using my thumb & fingers much like a bass player. There are so many useable sounds in this thing, all easy to get to, that I can't wait to get the CFV-2 out there to hear some of the great things that creative minds will be able to do with this lovely device.
Features:
- Stereo Analog Chorus: way more transparent (if that's your desire) than the old Fulltone CF-1. way more headroom, way Thicker fatter (if that's your thing) and you can blend in the exact amount of vibrato you desire, which puts you in to (and well past) the thick CE-1 sounds that have been missing for 25 years.
- Stereo Analog Vibrato True Pitch-Bend Vibrato that can be as subtle or as bombastic as you want thanks to the "Delay Time," "Overdrive," and "Mix" knobs. No, this is not CE-1 style vibrato, this is Magnatone-style pure non chorused like he old Boss VB-2 only much better because you can vary the delay time to as wide or narrow a pitchbend as you like. Because of the seperate Instrument & Effect Level controls, you can also get some very "Brown Fender amp" style vibratos as well.
- Stereo Analog Flange with the ability to go so slow & thick you can almost see it travelling between the amps
- INSTRUMENT LEVEL knob: affects only ther guitar, bass, etc unaffected level
- DRIVE Knob: yep, has built in OVERDRIVE via mini knob to thicken up, downright Distort, or make it crystal clean..all modes and Yes, with the "Mix Knob" all the way off use it a Bad-assed standalone Overdrive....talk about earning its place on the pedal board.
- EFFECT LEVEL Knob: a true Mix control bringing in exactly the right amount of effected signal with the original
- SPEED Knob: great oscillator and LFO design, gets super slow and blinding fast speeds.. Does great Rotating Speaker simulations as well.
- TONE knob: very simple, need it a little warmer? Dial down the Tone control.

CFV-2 Update 2/24/2011
Lots of little changes, Still tweaking things here and there. Got the FET front end to withstand well over 3.5 volts of input signal without distorting. More to come very soon, the end is near.
CFV-2 Update 9/24/2010
Well she sounds gorgeous, dead quiet, a little big, now the task of miniaturizing the circuit. A very cool perk in the design is that you can run both side at once (in paralell) even in mono, which yields certainly the thickest, most interesting chorus, flange, and vibrato I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing! Thanks for your patience, it's worth the wait.
CFV-2 Update
It's been a long while, I have been working closely with John Greene, a great guy and Electronic Engineer, to make sure that this is the end-all stereo modulation pedal.
