Title: Blackout Effectors Whetstone Phaser clone?
Post by: Antoy on February 03, 2016, 08:18:12 AM
Just wondering.. It`s an amazing phaser with huge sonic possibilities and lots of control knobs and switches. As you look inside, it doesn`t looks too complicated. So why noone did not try to clone it? I surfed the internet and found a lonely hero from South Korea, who crafted a clone for about three years ago with an unusual rotary swith instead of standard alpha 3p4t. Here is the link (http://weplaymusic.tistory.com/entry/Whetstone-Phaser). What do you think about it?  :o

I think I read that that one is a heavily modified Small Stone.
Jacob announced a similar project coming up, so maybe he can chime in:

I would jump on this immediately upon release. Has it ever been released?!

There were a few projects for this (at least one verified) over at FSB a few years back.

Great pedal! Probably the best phaser I've ever played.

Maybe Freppo can design a Phaser with all these options, using his magic chips and a handful of components.

I've wanted one of these for a long time. I'm usually not a big phaser guy but these things are just awesome.
The first time it really came to my attention was watching a rig rundown with John Baizley from Baroness. I love that band and after seeing the rundown I paid attention to a few of their songs and could hear the way he was using it. Sounded awesome, I just haven't found a good deal on one and can't bring myself to shell out the big $$$$ for a new one. I'm not in a band or gigging or anything right now so I can't justify the cost for something I'd only fiddle about with once in a while.
But, if it were made into a DIY project, I would gladly give some money to anyone willing to put out a good PCB for this!

Too much knobs and switches! Too many of them! Rate is all you need really.

Absolutely :)

The circuit sounds great from the demos I've seen.

I think this was on FSB (not looked there for a while). Not sure if it was ever fully rev-engineered though.

If any one could it would be Freppo  :)
