Title: 31. Smoothie Phase 'n' Vibe
Post by: Liustucru on April 05, 2013, 11:22:40 AM
Hey guys,

Here is my Smoothie Phase and Vibe.
I added the vibe mod and a rate indicator LED.
It sounds great. I'm not a phaser guy but this one is light and smooth, and the vibe mod adds something more to it.

I built it some time ago but I was waiting to get stamps for digits to finish it.
Now it's finally done and I hope you like it too.

Very nicely done! This is probably my favorite build so far. The vibe mod is so good.

Really nice looking effort!
I loved my phase 45 for some time, then moved on to more extreme phasers

This is one of those reports that makes me want to build a pedal that, prior to seeing it, I had no interest in building. Excellent work!

That is a pretty epic toggle switch...

Nice build.

You make it sound like a gateway drug! (I can stop using my Doppelganger any time I want. I just don't want to, that's all!)

Liust, a typically clean and tidy build from you :) Is the top LED a rate indicator?

Thanks to all of you.

Yes the top LED is a rate indicator that blinks all the time.

I can't get over the perfect bends in the transistor legs. This came out great. The stamps fit the look perfectly. And I agree with Jacob, that is one hell of a toggle switch!

Great job!!! This just looks awesome inside and out. I now wish I had that vibe mod on mine! Do you have any info on the Vibe mod you used? I was trying to figure it out but I can't get a good look at it all...

I would love to build another phase 45 that isn't a tiny build.

The vibe mod is described in this topic. You just have to switch between 2 sets of caps for C2 and C3 :

Wow...you referenced my build! Very cool  8)

I've learned something since I made that video...the vibe should be BEFORE the overdrive. It's sounds so much better that way.
