Crazy, I know.  While trouble shooting the glass hole led not flashing, I got distracted with the LDRs. By moving your hand around them I could get some crazy phasery sounds. It was very cool. I thought this would make a great box to accompany a theramin.  Is it possible?

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Except if your playing, what you going to wave over the LDRs?  I suppose, then, you could call it "B4 the Glass Hole". Taint quite a phaser. 

Just realized I'm typing this in a church...

Bwahahahah just like a theremin sir. Hit a chord a wave your hand like you just don't care. Or with a looper I suppose. I don't know, it was just really cool.

You could have the LDRs exposed somehow and hover over that with your foot to make  a differnce in light? I think I have seen a 'light wah' concept like that before or some pedal, I think it was a Rick Holt creation. Have to do some google digging...

Search for "opto theremin", there is plenty of designs around.

Robert Henry / DeadAstronaut did the light wah

Lovetone do similar things with their Light jack CV controllers, which is literally a LDR soldered across the tip and ring of a 6.35mm jack

Devi Ever did something like this several years ago, but not with a phaser. It was called Eye of God, I think.
