Get tested man, don't be another statistic.

Tidy! And yeah, it's not a BF-2... unless you want it to be.

I love the lectric-fx stuff but, they're a biasing nightmare.

So I hear you saying, you want us to release builds with more trimmers?

Uhhh yessir. More knobs switches and trimmers would be ideal.

Nicely executed. That board has got all kinds of stuff on it. I love the lectric-fx stuff but, they're a biasing nightmare.

Jimilee you're killing me here! What's the correct specs for the 5457?!? What the build doc says??
Lol

Yup

JimiLee - so glad you finally got it working. Looks great!

Thank you. You gotta have the right 5457. It was affecting the voltage and I dont'know why. It was a bear, that's for sure.

JimiLee - FETs are a fickle device. Kinda like NOS germanium trannies in that the specs can be all over the map for any given part number. When ever applying FETs, I always socket them because it can be a crap shoot selecting them. Even with a Peak Atlas DCA75 to pre-test (measure) them, they can be fickle. Still, happy to see this done.

How do you like it? Is the swell dramatic or  . . . . . ??

Not as dramatic as the attack decay, a heck of a compressor.

Have you audio probed it yet? Check all your values and polarities and then reflow your solder. Got pictures?

Very nice buil !
...is it possible that you have the optocupler reversed?

Nope, any other way and the two trannies above it get the wrong voltages. The dot is where it's supposed to be.

Thank you for the photo essay. That's looks fantastic, and that soldering iron. I spent 12.00 on one just like it. It was supposed to be temporary if I liked the hobby. I used it for 8 years. It still works great, I just replaced it because I wanted a nicer one. I still use it from time to time.

OK, I realized that the schematic called for a yellow led, I used a red one. Can't see why that would make a difference, but it did. Now I get about 3 or 4 repeats, but at a very low volume. Still working it...

The LED is to tone down the distortion on the repeats that sometimes result in PT2399 delays. The bestthing you can do is compare your etch to the template to ensure that there are no anomalies. I take pictures of my etched board before I start building just for this reason. Did you see the note about D2 in the build DOC? Post close up pictures of both sides along with voltages if you need more help. We're happy to help out.

This is a Grind Customs Phaser. Thanks to Forrest for providing what I needed to have some boards made. I'm rather proud of the etch. I do have 4 more boards for 5.00 PPG if anyone is interested.

From the build doc: The Tourbillon is athree-­‐stage optical phaser utilizing LDRsasthe variable resistive element in each phase stage. The circuit grew from a single-­‐stage vibratocircuit by Tim Escobedo (TheWobbletron) into a three-­‐stage phaser.The LFOis closely based on theoscillator fromthe Causality 4Phaser by frequencycentral.com .

Great question. It's a 3 stage phaser, but it gives a good amount of phasing in the normal phase setting. It's a little more versatile in that the shape knob changes it to a vibish feel. I can definitely see the  causality influences. It's a great ambiance phase pedal. Hmmm a phaser shootout. I gotta get a regulator for my 12 stage first. I will line them up and make a video. It may run about an hour and a half though, I have quite a few.

I really dig that, it's very clean. I have this circuit and the triple(Fuzzdogg T-Rex). Oh yeah, I promise I don't get all of my artwork from the internet.
