Trimpots in Phase II

[irvmuller]

Can someone explain the function of the two trimpots in the Phase II?

Have you built it? Power it on and turn them with your depth set to full, you’ll see!

One adjusts the brightness of the LED, the other affects the way it cycles from light to dark/completely off...both will have an effect on the sound but there’s no set rules.

One sets the peak brightness of the LED and the other sets the symmetry of the sweep. I leave both at noon with a yellow diffuse and tayda LDRs.

Thanks so much guys! Opened it up and saw the differences it makes. Before I was getting a lot less effect than I wanted. Now I can go from super subtle to deep warbles. Such a great pedal. I’ll keep messing around with it and find an exact spot where I like it.

Like Nostradoomus said, no set rules. Those trimpots are there to compensate for variations in LDRs, LEDs, optical path and user's preferences. Best to make adjustments when there is no stray light falling on the LDRs. Cover them completely or work in a very dark room.
