Phase II pedal build, adding to my board of favorite band pedals.
This was a bit of tricky build for me, mainly because I didn't realise the difference between 1/4W and 1/8W resistors when ordering parts and so had to stand them up to fit in, for some reason the 390K's I ordered were also MASSIVE chunky boys. I also soldered a diode in the wrong place and had to de-solder the hole which was highly annoying, and this was also the first time using LDR's for me. I couldn't get the ones in the build manual so followed some great advice from these forums and ordered "LDR 540nm RADIAL 5528" from Tayda and switched to a 5mm green LED. Works great! still tweaking with the trim pots but sounds really good. All errors purely my fault, the docs and PCB were perfect as usual!
I wasn't happy with my last phaser I made and I think I messed that up as the phase was very weak, but this build sounds perfect and very happy with it!
