    Duo-Phase build, panel layout and LFO mod question...

    Sorry for slightly off topic but I finished the Krautrock phaser. The relevance to this discussion is: "But how do lightbulbs sound in contrast to LEDs" - and how could you add CV? Because of the smallish footprint of the DuoPhase I tried the CV and lightbulbs in this one. Reveal: Lightbulbs...

    Thank you! And wow, beautiful work! Cool tip with the shrink-and-braid too! (y)

    Got some off-white knobs to finish off. Like the look. Great kit!

    looks great! :)

    I also read the forums here before building. Great forum! :) (y) I noticed someone had trouble with desoldering so I took the added precaution of mounting little soldering pins to points I knew I might be fiddling with later on (e.g. changing LEDs). Best of luck!

    Duo-Phase build, panel layout and LFO mod question...

    Yep! They're grounded on the ground tab on the input jacks.:) input jack end (EDIT: actually I just now notice that this jack is the output jack of Phasor A, I added an "Input B = Input A / B / Output A" switch, and this is the output switch). Either way. The inputs are all shielded (here the...

    Duo-Phase build, panel layout and LFO mod question...

    Certainly! A lot is covered by "just-to-be-sure" tape... ;) ... but I took closeups on where the shielded cables end up. I chose the ground connection to be by the input jacks. and by the switches only the center lead was soldered...

    Duo-Phase build, panel layout and LFO mod question...

    @giovanni - thank you! :) Shielded: Instead of using single lead cables* (the colored ones that Das Musik Ding included) I used multi-leaded ones (single center lead with a metal shield around). Pictures below. The "shield" (the braid/metal mesh around the insulated center lead) is connected...

    Duo-Phase build, panel layout and LFO mod question...

    Done! (I might add knobs, not sure yet, see what my local store, TEMA has)... Fonts = I went for the Eurostile font (tried Microgramma too, but Eurostile actually looked more like the original (when re-kerned, letters re-spaced). Internal LEDs = I mounted yellow LEDs, and as far as my old ears...

    Thanks! Sold out right now… But, I might build versions of the Shulte Compact Phasing while waiting…. 😊👍

    Duo-Phase build, panel layout and LFO mod question...

    White LEDs gave good control over the very bright light-range. However, to my taste, that's not where the fat phasing's happening. So, I changed to red LEDs and voila! Very good control over the darker range and in spite of the waveform outputted from the driver (not very sine-wavy) a nice...

    Duo-Phase build, panel layout and LFO mod question...

    Finished tonight. Took around 4 hours total; wise from previous debugging I built slow and careful and measured at regular steps. Checked components before soldering. Desoldering that board would not be easy. I found one bad LED (white) but had some spares. Either way, it sounds good, yet I...

    Duo-Phase build, panel layout and LFO mod question...

    Hi there, I building a DuoPhase, sketching up a printable sticker (using Eurostile, but wider spaced) for the panel. Font used on the Mu-Tron Bi-phase? I guess Mu-Tron used something like the font "Eurostile" in the original design. Here's a discussion on whether they used Microgramma or...
