I think @fig has me beat with classic EHX circuit builds today but, here’s my submission. The Lectric FX SH3. Some of you keen eye folks may have noticed my comment on @jjjimi84 awesome demo post, on how I could never make the Small Stone work for me. Well, thanks to that video and my recent chats with @thewintersoldier, I decided to give this classic phaser another try. I was so wrong with my statement. Lectric FX knocked it out of the park with this circuit design. I dunno how all you pcb designers are doing it but, keep up the great work. This is the second EHX style build I’ve done that captures the classic sound but, doesn’t add the typical EHX noise. That’s always been my biggest beef with EHX. The effects sound killer… until you put them in front of a high distortion amp. That has not been the case with the last 2 diy EHX circuits I’ve built.
I’m really relieved that I like this phaser so much because this build totally kicked my ass. I ordered the wrong parts, didn’t order parts I needed, and I could not get my water slide to apply right. It took me 8 tries to get something that looked halfway decent aesthetically. On top of that, I put the wrong value resistors in 3 places when I populated the board. Fortunately I caught it early and corrected the issue before I powered it up. My last 2 builds went so great that I guess it was time for me to make a bunch of mistakes.
Despite all of my incompetence, it came out pretty well and sounds even better. I have to give @Harry Klippton a special thanks and shout-out on this one as well. Will, took it upon himself to design me a logo for my builds and I’m going to proudly display it from here on out .
