Hello everyone!
So I just finished up the Duo phase, and man oh man there's a reason why its everyones favorite. Jet lag initiated....
This circuit is based on the famous Mutron Bi Phase. A dual phaser that most say is the best in the world. With that kind of praise this was something i had to experience. This circuit does not disappoint in any way shape or form. As soon are you turn it on you're greeted with lush wooshes and highly tweakable swooshes A must have for any pedal enthusiast! I built this as a present for my brothers Bday. He's going to love it!
So as for the build, this thing is HUGE. 15 ICs, a crap ton of resistors, caps, you name it. Get ready to have some of your component capacities strained on this one. I approached this build a little different. Usually the order in which i solder my resistors is i would just solder the next value resistor on the board. This time i completed soldering all the same values first before moving on to the next. This decreased my chances of mixing the 4k7 and 47K resistors in confusion. I would highly suggest taking your time on this one. I ran out of 220K resistors and ended up making some teepees to make up for them. I also had to improvise with the 470nf caps. The ones i have are huge for whatever reason haha
Earlier today i had to troubleshoot this guy. There was an annoying LFO tick going on when the pedal was engaged and the rate knob would only make it worse. After @DGWVI and @Betty Wont helped me with awesome suggestions i found out that having a buffer in front of it killed the tick. I decided to use a buffer board that can be purchased here at the store. I put it in the first input (b side). The ticking persisted till i tightened the rate knob with a washer and nut. I cant explain this one but it stopped and the pedal is working fine.
All in all this pedal is awesome! I will definitely make another one but this time with the mods that @DGWVI recently did to his phaser. Which would be to make the internal pots external. There is no bad setting with the trimmers. I ended up setting the B side a little slower than the A side. The result is a phaser that is crazy tweakable when using all 12 phases. 5 out of 5 for me! Highly recommended!
PS. Can we have a moment of silence for my components that didnt make it?
