I haven't found a demo of this one on the forum that showcases the sounds that are more on the stock side so here ya go - https://soundcloud.com/kuato-design-stompboxes/small-stone-v1-clone-demo
I'll record a proper demo, a tune, like I like to do, later when I box it.

It is a strange one, the lower speeds are just fantastic and I don't hear much of a difference to my original 77 version 2, but as you turn the speed up, it becomes more and more rotovibey, and on the higher speeds it reaches a waveform that I am not really sure I like. Luckily, I always use my phasers, small stone included, on the lower end of the dial :)
Fantastic and super easy to work with board, super easy build, lectric-fx has done a fantastic work with this one!



I got a cool slightly sparkly gold box, can't wait to put it in and then on my board. Cannot live without a small stone, small stone is the shiiiiiiiiit. :)

If you prefer the upper speeds of the V2, you can try removing C13, it acts as a low pass filter for the upper speeds to round off the wave form a bit to make them more pleasing but that's personal preference. It was only present in the V1 Small Stones.

Glad you're enjoying it! :)

so, basically, just connect the two pads on the pcb with a jumper, instead of putting C13? cool, gonna try it tomorrow. it really is quite triangular, it has a thing of it's own. I like it, although on faster speeds I prefer the version 2 waveform, but this is cool too. Still, will try C13.
also, no matter how I set the volume trimmer, the volume drop when on Color mode is a lot. I would advise, Keefe, that you make this a 3pdt in the next version, and put 2 trimers on the pcb, one for the color down sound and one for the color up sound, and then alternate between the two at the same time as when one is switching the sounds with the Color switch.
I miiiiiiight do this to my pedal but I will probably be too lazy. Still I think it would make for a fantastic next version guys.
Any other value changes that might de-triangulise it even more? Just askin'...the stock pedal is cool to with it's rotating phase sound, very unique :P

No sadly you can't just jumper it as then you'll have a short to ground. That cap pull should be enough, it's entire point is to triangulate the waveform at high speeds to make it more pleasing, not much else you can do, the LFO is what it is, that should make it hyper-triangle (the wave form you get at the slower speeds) across its entire range though.

We did consider the two trim option but found it acceptable, guess it depends on your set up though, if we do another V1 run, taken on board :)

We also have considered doing a V2 and even V3 (the model with an LM324 & 2 x LM13600) small stone but that's up to demand.
