Forgot to mention too that the wiring is pretty standard, use whatever bypass you want.  The only off-board wires of note are the rotary switch.  One of the ground points goes to the wiper of the rotary.  Pad 1 goes to the switch position that corresponds to "Normal", 2 is "Pads", 3 is "Ring", and 4 is "Fix".

The build sheet mentions 2 jumpers but I could only find 1.

Are all of the toggles on on?

Thank you sir, much appreciated.

Pictures and voltages are the next steps. I'd reflow all the joints. Also, the power source, battery, multi power adapter, or just a single voltage?

I ordered one. I really regretted letting mine go, and I had it traced and everything. I think I'll still build a copy of Brian's because I don't love the form factor, but it's been my favorite phaser I've ever owned, and I've had a few. Not like Jimmie, but it's my second fav modulation sound.

Thanks guys, now if had had more time to play them haha

What? We don't actually play these things, there's not time, too much to build.....

Got mine wrapped up.  Kinda silly since there are already a Madbean and an Aion project available but the deal breaker was the enclosure.  Really nicely done and surprisingly I thought they were powder-coated but it's sprayed with a nicely detailed silkscreen.

I used switches I had a available for the DPDT toggles.  They don't have threaded collars so it looks a bit wonky with the threaded SPDT's but hey...

Mine came with the chips and transistors, the trim pot, the stomp switch, the rotary switch, a C1M pot, and the DC jack.  Kyle emailed over the front and back of the build sheet but the picture in the eBay listing pretty much says it all.  The rotary was easy enough to grok and the trimpot just sets the output from the boost (which overcomes the problem of reduced output on the Small Stone).  Hardest part of the build was wrapping my head around having this much space in an enclosure 

Yeah, but it's a sparkly red enclosure. I ordered one too because phaser. And yeah, I have built the other two as well, but phaser. Hey, can you chuck those docs up here in a PDF form or whatever?

Wohoo nice build.

Ordered mine yesterday, good guy. He owned and was blackout effectors. He decided he was tired of the pedal biz.

I would hate to think what things would look like if the former President had supreme power.

I'm a big fan of that guy. But I am not going to do that debate. Worry not about the previous guy, for he is out. Worry about the guy currently in power, because he is now the guy in power.

My guess is , that's why they don't. Get some asshat deciding he can do whatever he wants, and we're all pretty much screwed. Seems like Andrew Jackson was the same type of lovely individual.

Internally US presidents have never had that much power as the constitution pretty much constrained them in that regard. Foreign policy wise they have a LOT of power. Which is why that always seems to be a favorite playground for them. US presidents are strange though as they combine both being the head of the government and head of state into one function. Whereas most countries separate that function into a prime minister and a president/monarch respectively. I suspect it was because when the US constitution was being drafted in the 18th century, divine right of kings was still the norm. I reckon if the US would create a constitution today they would separate the executive and head of state.

Thank you sir. I should have left my opinion out and stated the facts. I didn't mean to offend anyone if I did. I certainly don't want to start that debate either.

Another option is to wire JBass pickups in series.  It won't quite boom like a PBass, but it doesn't burp like a traditional JBass (it is somewhere in the middle). I have a series/parallel switch on a push-pull tone pot on mine.

Whaaaaatttt??? That sounds Awesome!!!

That's awesome, I was just looking at those. I like a good jbass too. The PBass is real spanky and the jbass is a mellow bottom end. Both have their place. Color me jealous man.

I like the way the jazz bass looks but the precision plays and sounds like a bass should in my head. If I could get a Mark Hoppus bass. Jazz bass body with a single P-bass pickup.

Oh yeah, I played a PBass for a long time. Built on modded one. Both have PBass humbuckers. I know exactly the sound you're talking about. Enjoy it, I want one too.

One of the hardest things for the average Kiwi to grasp about how the US does things is the federal system.

NZ has local councils (at a town level), and district councils (covering a wider area, including rural regions.) They generally handle planning permissions, things like water supplies, that general thing. Local councils are probably about the same as in the US.

But the idea of state legislature is where we have a brain fart. District councils do not have the power to pass laws, or do anything really drastic, like how US states can create state-level taxes, or state level laws. The idea of the government at a national level empowering a district council to handle district-level crisis situations is... you what? Why is the Prime Minister being so lazy?

Maybe I'm just not understanding things right... I don't know.

Not just for Kiwi's, us Euroweenies also fail to understand how much power a state can wield and how they can defy federal authority. In Europe we're so used to centralized governments we don't see how in the case of even a major crisis like corona, or a disaster, presidents have to defer to governors.

Thats it exactly.. I think the original intention was that the federal part is for what the states can't handle themselves. It was a new land and all so they were separate groups that banded together like a wagon train

It does however confuses me that Americans act like their state is like some independent country that joined the union, when with the exception of the 13 Colonies and Texas, all the states were created by the federal government. Viriginia, to name one, was basically an independent country for a while, whereas Kansas is just lines drawn on a map in Washington.

Make it happen. That's what diy is all about!

I'll paint the spacer and make it two tone  if I make it from wood out fix my 3D printer and print one, maybe buy a 1590A tall if I can find the same silver painted.

Fixing the issue is half the fun, I do appreciate Brian being willing to send me smaller caps though.

We're always happy to help out around here. We got a good group.
