BBE Phoenix Lights phaser

[Paradox916]

When @blackhatboojum made his ph-1 variant and name it “The Phoenix Lights” I immediately wanted it, (’s and phasers? That’s for me!”) of course I had to put my own twist on it, but trying to stay true to to the Arizona roots of the project I went with the slightly more menacing fire in the sky Travis Walton feel (one of my favorite movies from the 90s). The Phoenix Lights is IMO what I wanted the phase90 to be? lower noise floor, a little more refined with depth and rate control.

One good phaser deserves another right?

It’s great seeing all these build reports lately. On this one, the way the tractor beam lines up with the footswitch and the knobs… very cool placement of the art in relation the hardware. And that textured base color… yes

I’d hit that, but I would feel real weird about it.

. It took some manipulation but that was exactly what I was aiming for.

You crank these pedals out fast! Getting serious X-Files vibes from this one, something tells me you might be a fan?

I build in batches usually somewhere around 5 or 6 at a time, from start to finish it’s takes me about 6 months, the amount of time I actually have to build is pretty limited to be honest. And you are correct loved X-Files as a kid.

Nice! I recently finished the series, not a huge fan of the ending, but overall a very entertaining show. My favorite episodes tended to be the monster of the week ones.
