Thanks for the quick response!
Just curious, I'm building this pedal currently and I'm seeing three options for trim pots on stompbox parts...
3362P is what you need.
Awesome, I rolled the dice and that's what I ordered... now if I could just find a quartet of 2N5952's
I bought recently from stompboxparts.com. Sadly, since I built an Xphase for a friend, I got 4 only. After hearing the pedal with the 2N5952 in comparison with 2N5457, I felt guilty. I should have bought more =(. Stompbox sell the 2n5952 for 4$ for 2pcs. Now it is out of stock and some seller sells it for like17$ for 4pcs.
I tuned it by ear. I just tossed listening between listening the bypass and while effect is on. And so far what I heard was impressive. I can hear the quality clean tone of my Dimarzio pickups while blending with the the phasing. I thought, you will get somewhat and non effecting sound until you get the unpleasant compression (distort) sound as you turn the trimpot clockwise. Back it off very gradually until you hit the sweet spot. I intend to seal the trimpot with glue gun to make sure it doesn't move.
Thanks for the tips. I really wish the bias voltage was included in the build docs. Fortunately I was able to find my answers here, but I'm sorry of a novice/intermediate builder... Had I not joined up here, I would have had no clue what to do or to use on some of these builds... like diodes marked "GE"... No clue other than it means a "Germanium Diode", etc
Barrys got them only 2 sets left though

Well for sure having a reference voltage would get to the ballpark of what the phase should be. But since I didn't measure the voltage, I just used my ear. Even my friend was impressed by it. Together with the CE2 that i built also for him, he will use the phaser on his vintage Fender rhodes
