Title: Phase 90 with optical speed control
Post by: brejna on December 01, 2013, 09:04:34 PM
Hi everyone, this is mine try on Phase90 which I build 8-9 months ago. I've used tonepad schematic and Soldermans layout that I literally redraw in diptrace.
Mods I did are:
-Depth pot
-Resonance pot (if you take out resistance you get oscillations )
-Selectable Optical speed control or pot control
-Volume drop mod
Mods are in the schematic..
Hope you like it
Cheers

Very Nice Brane...I like your style, the demo is superb...and shows off the ldr control which is great :) I have seen others do these mods but I think yours comes out tops.
I might try this.
Thanks
Mike

Must be the coolest phase 90 build I have ever seen! Bravo sir! And your tone is awesome, perfect even. MY god such a fat great distortion, what are you using there?

I love the optical control you got there, but say you're in total dark, do you have to wear these

:P

kiddin, fantastic build, love it! We haven't heard any of the resonance if I am not mistaken, how does that sound?

Thanks guys for kind words, really appreciate.
I am glad that you like the idea.
Optical mode depends on the enviroment alot and also I have little light that I made for the pedal, so it can be controlled on stage, but I'm not using it or I could get those
converce sneakers with light :-D
Resonance is not doing much, except if you turn it down you get this mad  very loud oscillation that is syncronized with the speed and on higher values you can hear bit of sound distortion which I ussualy  use with drive and in between are combinations for clean sound.
That drive sound on youtube is from mine Peavey JSX 212 Combo on the crunch channel with 30% gain and flat eq. I had some periods of doubts with this amp, but when I tried few vintage instruments with it, amp really shined in those situations. So I kept it. Generally I think that it's great amp for all kind of music.
The only problem with this amp it is 40kg weight :-D
