DEMO AionFX Redshift (whetstone phaser)

[owlexifry]

firstly, big thanks to @szukalski for sharing the UV print pdf design. it's so cool.


so i heard people talking about the blueshift being a difficult/daunting build..
the blueshift was honestly fine, it's just a lot of components.
but golly gosh this redshift was a real fiddly tedious bastard.

drilling the holes with a hand drill was a bit daunting (finally got myself an automatic centre punch).
getting everything to line-up and slide into place (board onto switches + pots) was a bit scary
got there in the end though.

the circuit:
it's great! very capable phaser.
big range of sounds and applications.
the speed/rate range toggles are great, basically any speed you want can be done. no mods needed for this at all (it’s already got plenty built in haha)

quick demo - having the x2 speeds on the A/B switch is pretty nifty!

That wiring looks good. I had a whetstone I built when kyle was selling off unbuilt "kits" on eBay 2 years ago. I just sold it a couple weeks ago

Fabulous job. I hand drill too and this box looks daunting! Great job!

That looks/ sounds awesome.

Non-graphic graphics, fiddly wiring, this is my jam.

Thanks @owlexifry. This is on my build list, with the board arriving awhile back. I’m daunted by the drill template and plan to have Tayda do it for me. Worth the couple of bucks not to cuss and gnash my teeth when ‘It’s Jeans North and nothing fits’ (FZ, ‘Just another band from LA’).

Very cool build! I’ve been playing this pedal for a few weeks (I also built it when they were selling PCBs and enclosures). Very nice phaser!

 

[szukalski]

That’s a great colour combo! Nice build

 

[cooder]

Excellent inside out, great sound demo too! Noice!

thanks! after 17 holes my wrists were pretty clapped out.

have you noticed any clipping if the input signal gets too hot?

That looks/ sounds awesome.

ayy i got lucky with the layout, and fortunately the print colour is in white so i was all good to go for an army green enclosure (my favourite colour lately)

drilling takes a toll on your body too

That’s a great colour combo! Nice build

many thanks!!

cheers! had an interesting time attempting to record this one direct to DAW, tested fine on a tube amp rig, but then i was struggling to confirm if the pickups were clipping the input of the redshift or if the redshift output was clipping the audio interface input (which is normally pretty easy to figure out)

i wonder if circuits like these are susceptible to clipping? only other OTA phaser i’ve done was a ross phaser

 

[giovanni]

Uhm I haven't noticed clipping but I also put the phaser very early in the chain so no chance of the input getting hot.
