I say it all the time, but phaser is my favorite. The Circulator was one of my first PPCB builds I did before getting into the forums (got rid of the vib setting in that one too lol) but I found I was always going back to my phase 90 because the Circulator stalled a lot…enter Chuck’s Mod Thread! Mods 1, 3-5, 7-11, and 13 are amazing and this version sounds way better than my original! Thanks @Chuck D. Bones

I am building one now and incorporating some @Chuck D. Bones mods. Yours looks great!

Thank you, sir! I’m sure you’ll love the build. It’s replaced my phase 90

I got a board populated today. I’m a bit nervous about doing the mods to the solder side of the board. I’ll probably wait till tomorrow to put it together as far as boxing and wiring and platform. I’m glad you loved it. Maybe I’ll replace my 95.

That's high praise. It is one of the all-time great circuits. I've got a Circulator board in waiting, calling to me gently...

Don’t get me wrong, I still love my phase 90, but lately the circulator has been my go to!

When I'm comparing a new (to me) circuit to a classic that I love, my highest hopes are that it's 90 percent as pleasing to my ear as the classic and enough different to make it an interesting change of pace. You're making me pretty confident that I'm going to be happy with the build.

I didn't like the grand orbiter v4 that I had for a while. I wanted a more adjustable phase 90 and it was just too different. Mostly cuz I didn't like the lfo. Think I should make a modded one of these?

Give it a shot!! The knob settings in the first pic is what I always use. I play mostly r&b//soul and it’s perfect…to my ears, at least.
