Description

The Phaser is based on one of the most famous Phaser pedals. Unlike the original it also features a Deep knob.

This kit contains all parts you need to build a fully functional effect pedal.

Not included in the kit, but also good to have:

Aluminium enclosure: select one from top
9V battery or DC power supply
2 nice knobs for the pots, for 6,3mm shaft
Decal, transfer or transparent sheets for labeling

Instrument:	Guitar Bass
Effect-Type:	Mod/Echo

Sounds

That´s the sound of our Phase 90 clone:

Really good Phaser

HI guys,
this kit is really good sounding, and easy to built like a lot of products there, even if there is lot of parts.
Dont be afraid of the bias setting and all the voltage values, just make the kit, plug your guitar in and turn your amp an, and slowly turn the trimpot. We make sounds, use you ears !!!

On this kit , I replaced the deep pot with a 430K resistor, and i remove the R15 one (see the schematics) to match the script logo version.

Decent phaser

It sounds ok, I wish the phasing effect was stronger. The Depth knob is useless to me, Id be interested to know if I could replace it with a resistor of a different value to make the effect stronger.

The build is great, as always the instructions are easy to follow.

Good phaser

Easy to assemble, all components marked. Clear instructions.

Good Phaser effect

Nothing to tell. The kits of Musikding are a guarantee!
Do it correctly and its a good sounding Phaser.

Beautiful sounding phaser

What a beautiful sounding phaser. I modded the phaser with a modern/ vintage switch. Be aware to use a 250 K trim.

Excellent Kit. Easy to build.

The kit was easy to build. The only problem was with the included 3pdt switch, which was faulty and one of the connections was not working, so I had to buy another switch. Apart from that everything was very easy to solder. The tags on the resistors was also extremely helpful. The kits quality has been greatly upgraded compared to an another kit I did 10 years ago.

Great sounding phaser!

I think this was my third or fourth Musikding kit and it was certainly the most complex, but I went slowly and even successfully added the R15 mod, which makes the phaser sound much more subtle. At first I was disappointed that I couldnt get the pedal to modulate no matter where I set the internal bias control, but eventually I discovered that you have to adjust the internal trim pot VERY slowly in order to trigger the LFO.

There seems to be a very small range on that trimmer which allows the LFO to modulate so its a bit tricky to find the sweet spot but once you do, its very satisfying. I also found plugging in my looper pedal was really helpful in allowing me focus on getting the best sound. Lots of parts, great sound, very satisfied.

I took some time

I had problems with the power supply, the voltage dropped, after checking everything, unsoldered each component, I found that the trimmer was 250 and not 250K, now it works perfectly with a 500K one I had at home.
Like many, I chose not to put the deep control, but the fixed resistance like on the original, I also kept the option to choose between the 2 phase versions.
3 stars only for the trimmer problem, the kit is robust and works well.

Great kit and pedal!

This was the first pedal I have built, and other than a few soldering problems (that were completely my fault due to my lack of expertise) it was very simple to put together! The bias setting was easy to set too, and the sound overall is excellent.

Very good phaser, even better with R28 mod

I bought this kit to have a classic Phase 90-inspired phaser in my pedal toolbox.

The sound is very good. The R22 bias has to be tuned very precisely to get the desired sound. It basically tunes some sort of PWM ratio which makes a different pulsating shape. I tuned mine so that the ratio is roughly 50%, so that the phase sweep is nice and even, rather than too pulsating.

I implemented the so-called R28 mod (look it up on YouTube). The name comes from the name for R15 in the original design. It consists in leaving R15 out. Definitely recommend. The result is a smoother sound because this removes a feedback loop in the circuit. You can either put it on a toggle switch (like I did) to have both flavors available. If you decide to have it permanent, be sure to put solder in the holes where R15 would have been mounted because these holes make connections with other parts of the circuit.

It seems the indication for the four 2N5952 transistors is the wrong way on the circuit diagram. I initially put them as shown, flat side facing downwards on the diagram. But I did not get any phasing effect, only the dry sound. So I had to revert them, flat side facing upwards. I am removing a star for this reason.

Other than that this kit is perfect. Thank you Musikding!
