Title: Fear the Stewie Phaser
Post by: jimilee on March 07, 2013, 03:44:36 AM
So here is my take on the Tourbillon phaser from Grindcustoms. Pretty easy build,sound fantastic No mods at all just straight forward.The thing about Rej's pedals that really sets him apart,as well as Efdub is the sound is really clean and true! So here is the Stewie Phaser

That is absolutely epic! Love the eyes!

Silly question, but are the LEDs for his eyes held in with hot glue?

That's rad, Jimi. Decal paper? What kind do you use? I want to do my phaser up nice....but won't be as nice as THAT. Great job!

What the deuce?!

Spiffy finish! It can go hang out with Dane's Family Guy pedals.

Nope the holes are just big enough that the leds fit snuggly in the holes.
The decal paper is generic sticker paper from office depot, nothing fancy.

Dude, I am glad you posted this! When I poked around to find out where to get the PCB, I found the GCFX forum. I had been wondering if there was a relatively simple optical phaser out there.

Yep that's a good one, sounds very good. Having an issue when I put it on my pedal board though, getting a ground hum and little phasing, as opposed to by itself it sou d's perfect, weirdness.

Yeah, I'm having similar problems with mine, have to start debugging.

Nice build.  Really have to start making decals for my pedals.

I really don't want to take this things apart either. I do get decals and water slide, but I really want to learn to etch enclosures.
