Phase 67.5

I was deciding between a Phase 90 and 45 then thought... DECIDE! When you build pedals the only obvious conclusion is BOTH. Even if you didn't ever think you needed a Phaseshifter it is both, plus the StageFright I'm now waiting to box up. So even if I don't need a Phaseshifter I've built at least 3. (Weird hobby :) )

But what to name it? It's less than a Phase 90 because there is a Phase 45 in there and its more than a 45 because of that 90. So, split the difference! The Phase 67.5.

Edit: Probably should mention that the Phase 90 is a board I etched from Tonepad and the Phase 45 is Stomptown's Galacticon.

 That looks amazeballs, and the name is fantastic. I want one of these with separate loops so I can have a phase 90 before dirt and a phase 45 after it...
*runs off and steals all of billstein's ideas* mwu-ha-ha-ha!!!


*edit* God damn, I just noticed how close the power and input jacks are to one another... if I tried to measure and drill for that, it would be a total disaster. I don't know how you guys are so economical with space, it really impresses me

It was pretty tight. I couldn't use the box type for the output jack because it wouldn't fit around the stomp switch. I measure carefully, drill with much reservation, and then feel very blessed when it actually works out.

That is an awesome looking build. Love the graphics.

Man, I have been planning one of these for a while. I have the PCB's and everything. Also I can't see larger pictures because imageshack wants me to sign in and I don't have an account, and it's a pita to create one on my phone.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I don't know why ImageShack does that? Can be frustrating.
Here are the links if that will help.

thank you, you probably won't believe when I tell you I was planning a Van Halen-esq design for mine as well. That looks great.

I do believe you. I mean, what else could it be? Can't wait to see yours Jimi.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

A couple asked for a sound demo. I'll try to get to that at the end of the week.

Man, do I dig this build.  Great graphics, guts and wonderful knob choice.  This is just fantastic.

The only thing I would change is the white stomp washers.  It would look better with the little stainless steel washers from PPP.  I'll send you a couple if you promise to put them on this.  :-)

Wow! Thanks for the encouraging words. Sure I'll take the other washers. Didn't know there was options like that. I'll PM you.

Really really really nice build!

Eddie would be proud of the graphics too!

Nice build! What does it sound like?

One thing though, wouldn't 45 and 90 make 135?
