Here is what I put together over the weekend. It's a Phase 45 clone that I decided to call the Galacticon Phase Shifter. I put it together using a schematic I found on pedal geeks united, which appeared to be very similar to the Madbean Smoothie schematic. In fact, the only difference was the use of a TL074 in place of the two 72's and I decided to modify it and use the 72's to make the layout tighter. I am getting ready to verify a new board with a very similar layout that has the depth mod added on. I like my phasers subtle so I'm excited to hear it in action. That is... if it works! ;D If so, I will have a few extra boards up for grabs so I will keep people posted...
Cheers,
Jon

Nice etch and very clean build 8)
I love phasers, univibes, chorus...so if you get that board verified would love to have one :)

That layout is, amazing.
Fantastic. Love all your builds. The dial indicators around the speed knob really sets it off.
This board is so .... Full :-). I am impressed.
Nice build. I especially dig the big old knob and graduated 0-100 speed scale in the etch. And of course the clean innards make me feel inadequate.
The inside is so tight,inspires someone like myself to make a mini.

Yep. The dial indicator is what does it for me as well.
nice layout nice etch. This board and your 1590A tonebender look great you should sell them I'd be interested.
Love it.. I am attempting a few more etches my self. This is very inspirational, I love the numbering.
Woah! :o
That's beautiful!

Oh man....
A 3mm Red flashing rate LED at the end of that "phaser" would be perfect 8)
Thanks for the compliments guys! I found the dial from a google search on speed dial or something like that. It was one of the first things that popped up and just seemed perfect!
I have been going with the grunge look with my etches lately. I have found that I like them more than clean etches. They just seem to have more character. Plus, pristine etches are so hard to keep clean. I hate seeing all of the oils from my hands on an otherwise perfect enclosure!

Now why didn't I think of that! Great idea! I need to start thinking about led placement more when I do my graphics...
Ditto all the props everyone else has given you. The precision dial is perfectly offset by the grunge look. This is one classy build.
Any chance you could send me the file you used for this etch? I promise I won't steal it, I just want to see what it looked like before etching for my own education.
Great work!
What socket system do you use between the 3pdt switch and the main pcb?

No problem! Just PM me your email address and I will send you a copy of it...

I actually wired it by hand. I would like to try a socket system like mill-max but haven't had the opportunity...

Here is the graphic I used for my etch. All of the pitting on the enclosure was accomplished by pressing blue painters tape on the toner after is was transferred from the PNP Blue paper to the enclosure. I used to paint the sides of the enclosure prior to placing the enclosure in the etchant, but I have recently found that well applied blue painters tape works great. If I were going for a pristine etch without pitting I would still use a paint mask to be safe, but the painters tape works surprisingly well! You may also notice that the drill marks are part of the etch, which I highly recommend. It made it really easy to center the knob around the dial graphic.

love that dial etch
Very Cool!
Hey stomp, looking at the schematics for this, the so-called vibe mod would be implemented on c2 and c3, yes?

Sounds right to me. C2 and C3 are the same as the smoothie and I found threads about the smoothie confirming C2 and C3
