DEMO fright (Madbean StageFright / Maestro MP-1)

[DGWVI]

Build Rating

5.00 star(s)

If there was another 6(/7) stage phaser to rival the Phase II / DuoPhase, this is it. Huge range of timbres and speeds, nothing to bias and no hard to source parts. Only mod was bringing the internal depth pot to the face of the enclosure.

Board is laid out awesomely, and the build docs are dope. Highly recommend this one for those that crave the whoosh

Glad you like it! Is that Stazon ink stamping?

Yep!

I had one of my spasms when laying down the "fright" so I decided to leave it and lean into it

A long time ago I had a custom rubber stamp made for a single pass imprint on a 1590B (for a Big Muff project). It wasn't perfect, but really easy to do.

I did that a few years ago then realized they didn't make a Stazon pad big enough to fit the stamp.... I'm just too damned lazy for liquid ink and rollers.

That’s great! I love the double image on Fright and the sound clip definitely captures the extremes of the pedal. Great looking build.

Just get a pad that doesn’t have a raised edge.

Ohh, that just rose to the top of my Phaser-build queue.
Demo sounded fantastic.
and...

My goodness you've been an industrious beaver, what with all the builds and demos.

The particular Staz-On pad I use doesn't have raised edges, but I haven't tried any particularly large stamps

I hear rumours that @bean might be dropping a 12 stage soon. Not sure how similar it'll be to this one, but I believe it's also an OTA phaseyboi

 

[Feral Feline]

Well I've got a StageFright for myself to build, and another for a friend...
...but I'll be surely keeping an eye out for the 12-coaches long Fright-Train.

Definitely doable. I’ve used the staz on pads without raised edges (I have some with, and some without. Only way to know which you’re getting is to buy in store so you can see firsthand) to print soft Lino blocks as large as 5x7”

It’s just a matter of inking everywhere and getting enough layers of ink on the block to “prime” it before your first print
