Smoothie Phase 45! 2nd baby build

Here is the Smoothie phase 45. Keeping with the same theme of my baby builds, this one has an almond top with raw aluminum sides, green LED. I built it using matched 2n5952 transistors. I used open Neutrik jacks this time and had to sand and bend here and there to get it to work. I socketed the transistors but not the ICs.

Now the sound: the Smoothie is MUCH better than my GGG phase 45. First, there is very little, if any volume drop when engaged, Second the effect is more subtle with a light-easy phase that I like just to add some prettyness to the sound. The GGG had a really deep end on the bottom of the phase anf made it "warble" to much. However, this made it more univibe-ish at full speed which the Smoothie lacks.

Anyway, very happy with this one and will likely give the GGG to a friend.

Tight and tidy! I really like this creamy-yellowish color I've seen on a least three of your recent builds, what color is that?

Thanks for the props. The color is just plain-old Rustoleum gloss-enamel Almond color. Should be able to find it just about anywhere. I used a rustoleum grey primer underneath, and gloss enamel clear on top. End result seams to be fairly durable.
