Super nice job. Love the faceplate.

I love it. Phasers are always awesome.

Looks slick and good knob choices!

Great build inside and out.  Love those carbon comps.  The color bands are so shiny!
Also probably period accurate given EHX's choices of components.

Veery tidy and swish build! Excellent!
Would you find it a bit noisier because of the carbon comp resistors? Looks great in any case...

Carbon comp! What is the noisefloor like?

CC's look so nice, but have such a bad rep compared to even carbon film... :/

I don't hear more noise for the CC resistors. Moreover, compared to original Small Stone V3 it's shiny and wider phase effect.

 Nice build ! I am building a small clone chorus pedal and was wondering, what font did you use !?

What kind of resistors are those ? It’s so nice to be able to see the color bands unlike the cheap chinese ones I’ve been using. I kinda like the fact they are old school carbon resistors too. Some kinda carbon MOJO there.

These are old school carbon composition resistors. Old school in terms of tech, that is, they still make them today. Fairly pricey, compared to carbon film or metal film, and bulky.

But mojo.

This is a seriously awesome build. Love the spin on the classic artwork!

The font is Eurostile.

I don't know what kind of resistors. I bought these on Banzaimusic.

Look like Ohmite brand I discovered after seeing your build.

You have options! Just note the price, some 10x what metal film or carbon film would run ya.
