How many phase stages is enough?

[Diynot]

I'm thinking 2 groups of 6 LDRs around two different LEDs. I love the sound of the Glasshole, but want a few more features. I'm thinking if I skip the rotary switch, I might have enough room for the extra stages.

Or you do like the DEFX Calypso and go with a 10mm LED (though it’s only 6 stage)

The Phase Phactory — Great name, Aentons!
Let's see ol' Zach try to attack that one as infringement.

They already did, that was specifically the pedal that they contacted me over.

Build a (n expanded) Glasshole and a Wavelord (they’re already set up to work together) into one 1590XX for mega-phaser with ultra-LFO plus bonus super-tremolo?

That's kinda the plan. I'm going to plug the LFO from the Tremulous Lune into my Glasshole and see if all the extra knobs do anything interesting. If they do, I'll see how many stages I can cram in a 1590BB. Honestly, I would have thought 8 stages was enough until I heard a 12 stage made by Moog.

Holy crap. I was just playing that on my phone speakers, and I could feel it in my large intestines.

In a good way?

Damn, me too. Those Forbidden Planet demos sound killer. Anybody know what kind of reverb that is?

I had the chance to play on one of those 20 years ago and I still remember how glorious it was. Would love to play it side by side with the final phase. I think it is 10 stages. Regardless, looking forward to seeing (and hearing) what you come up with!
