Title: Marvin the Martian Phaser
Post by: LJangel on June 03, 2017, 11:39:30 PM
This phaser is made from the guitarpcb "Dr. Phybes" board. It has depth and script mods (adds feedback for a more pronounced phase) and I added a hidden yellow LED that flashes in time with the speed (rate).

Looks great.  That was the first phaser I built.  If you're into them the Krypton phaser is really cool.  One of the members on here sells the boards.  Here's the link to buy it.

Excellent.  Marvin the Martian is so funny.  Love his voice ... mel blanc was a true genius.

Niiice. When you build the Doppelganger, you can call it the "Aludium Q-36 Space Modulator".

Nicely done, I was reminiscing about Marvin the Martian with a workmate just the other day.  I never realised he wore a netball skirt until now ;D

Hey Marvin, would you know how to add a mix pot to the MXR phase 90?
Sweet job on the build.
Thanks,

Hold up- just hold the damn phone..did you mount your rate LED in the barrel of Marvin's laser pistol?
-absolutely spectacular.

I have no idea, I've always used a bass without the mix, it sounds fine without it.

Superb.  As a kid Marvin kind of gave me the creeps but always loved his voice.

I know this is an old thread but to answer the mix pot question...

Put a 1KB pot at the mix point circled in this pic. Lugs 1&3 each go to one of the inputs (R16&R8), lug 2 (wiper) goes to the output.

Thanks Marvin!
There are 4 leads: R8,(R24) R7,(R26) R16,(R27) & Q1,(Q5) but only 3 lugs on the pot?

I have an after-market rebuild kit. see pic.

Do R7,(R26) & R16,(R27) tie together to one lug on the pot?

It doesn't matter which 2 lugs go to which Resistors does it?

Thanks again!

R7&Q1 stay together. That's the output. It goes to the middle lug on the pot
