I'm surprised the author didn't discuss actual electronics. Early BOSS pedals in the 80's were wonders of analog design. Check out the schematics of the chorus, flanger, and phaser. They are delightful to study: https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/63463243/23432455/boss/boss_ph-1r_phaser_pedal.pdf_2.png https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/63463243/23432455/boss/bos... https://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/s/boss-bf2-flanger.php https://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/s/boss-bf2-flanger.ph... There's a reason why the ratio of analog to digital designers is about 1:1000.

Thanks for the links! The Boss BF-2 is my all-time favorite modulation pedal, my brother got one new in the late '80s and I somehow ended up with it for the last 25 years. It's one of the few modulation pedals that sounds great on bass without a clean signal blend, and it has 2 or 3 trimpots on the board that take it in weirder directions. For the non-music-technical if you've ever listened to The Cure or Prince you've definitely heard a Boss BF-2 Flanger in action. :-)
