Thanks to @itstimtime for the build report - I referred to your report a few times Like Itstimtime, I too cherry picked some of the @Chuck D. Bones mods from this thread. I was not feeling ambitious enough to add several of the other mods. I used a Tango Green powder coated enclosure from Stompbox. Taiway spdt switches and a 5mm red LED with a Stompbox bezel. I used a light touch footswitch from Love My Switches and Lumberg jacks and D.C. I used a big fat 100u up top - I am trying to use those up when possible. I moved the holes for the potentiometers inward to accommodate the larger diameter knobs. It is always a challenge to get the labels and knobs inside the border.
I followed the build docs other than these specific changes from the Chuck D.. Bones list.
1. Increased R2 & R3 to 2.2M
2. Replaced C2 with a short.
3. Replaced C8 with 390pF.
4. Skipped
5. Changed the SWEEP pot to C100K, reduced R33 to 2.2K
6. Skipped
7. Changed the RATE pot to C500K.- increased C14 to 10uF.
8. Skipped
9. Skipped
10. Changed the RES (Resonance) pot to C100K and R23 to 33K.
11. Increased R27 to 33K.
12. Skipped
13. Skipped
14. Skipped
Overall I like that the pedal with the mods. The phaser has a great swirl with useable sounds and it is smooth. It feels organic. The potentiometer changes - I cannot compare to what they would have been because I did not try the circuit with other pots. I will submit that the vibrato switch is only mildly useful. This is the first Phaser I have built and it certainly has quite a few components and op amps. I have not ever been a Phaser fan, but I acknowledge that it has a place in music. If you like Phasers I think you will like this circuit. I would compare it favorably to my Phase 90s.
