I present to you my latest work, nicknamed the Sakura Phaser

The circuit is an Maestro MP1 clone, the old Madbean PCB from the early 10s, bought off another hobbyist builder in a sorry state, fixed and modified by a friend with a vibrato switch and an asymmetrical waveform mod that takes the sound from the stock very smooth, airy sweep to a more oldschool Univibe/Small Stone type sound

Artwork painted in watercolor and then scanned by my artistically talented sibling, the final photo is what it used to look like so it's not an understatement to call it a glowup of the century.

Refinishing the enclosure, applying the decal, swapping the LEDs for pink ones and rewiring the switch done by yours truly.

And yes, it sounds just as good as it looks, it has a massive variety of sounds due to all the switches, can go from the smoothest most velvety sweep to a lush wet resonant one, plus the vibrato mode is incredible unlike many other phasers with that function, set to the asymmetrical waveform it can produce slow tape-like fluctuations, lofi flutter and with both knobs almost cranked plus some overdrive, an almost Hammond organ like sound. A demo will be out later this week so stay tuned ;3

Where are the Gutshots?

Where are the Gutshots?

The gutshots will be rather disappointing since the PCB is installed backwards so the components arent visible unless I disassemble the whole thing. It's not the prettiest soldering job anyway, nothing to brag about.
