The key is diffuse light or oblique light sources. So, avoid direct sunlight/light bulbs and never use a flash.

Cool. I try to take them from further away and then crop it.  Seems like it only fill flashes then. Sometimes it works sometimes not as good.

People are saying photographing Envirotex/resin makes for bad pictures, how is it different than photographing glossy objects clear coated with a different kind of finish?

It's not.

Okay first thing to do is ditch the camera flash, only reason to ever use a camera flash is in an emergency that requires a picture for reference.

Try shooting outside in a shaded spot, north side of a building will give even diffuse light.

Indoors try beside a bright window but not one with the sun shining in.

Maaaan, this is getting complicated. There's a reason I'm a bass player, less strings to fool with!

Nice. I love the layout, very neat and tidy looking.

The whetstone is alright. I can get the jangly sound you normally only get with a Joey phaser. Overall, its a bit underwhelming for the amount of knobs a switches it's has.

Jimi's whistle was not whetted with the Red Shift?

It was, I mean, it is a phaser. I feel like the selector knob will add another level to this pedal. Once I get some build docs, I will know for sure.

The fixed mode is pretty blah on this one - I think manual-phase mode has been done a lot better by others like EHX. My thought was that the rotary was just a very inconvenient way of adding an unnecessary mode, when a 3-way toggle switch could get the other 3 modes.

If you want, you could test it out by leaving off C16, which would change "Ring" mode into "Fixed". I'm gonna add that to the docs, I hadn't thought of that until just now, but it should work. In the original, all the rotary does in that position is disconnect all three of the LFO timing capacitors.

Hey thanks man, I will try that, and see what that sounds like. Maybe make it an internal switch. It's a great pedal overall.

Excellent and another phaser in the bag! How does Jimi like the Whetstone?
Florist graphics are sweet!

Nice to see you building things. Those look fantastic.

What is the Red Shift? I'm guessing early 70s design?

A Whetstone. Modified I believe, it doesn't have the rotary switch.

Been working on these for a while now. Enviro is just plain hard to photograph.
