Liquid Mercury Phaser

[m-Kresol]

drolo's fantastic Liquid Mercury phaser. Came together nicely without problems and the combination of yellow 5mm LED and 2 tayda LDRs works well and sounds nice. thanks to chuckbuick for the tipp.

I added a Tap sync jack which is basically just synchornising the 5V tap of the tap switch with other taplfo devices (in my case Jon's Cardinal tremolo). I might resolder it to the other lug of the jack. This way, if someone accidentally inserts the 9V supply there, it will only put GND on the 5V pad instead of 9V, which might damage the IC. I need to add the jack to the tremolo to confirm it works, but according to the datasheet it should work.

The etch turned out really well and the epoxy really brings it to live. Lots of detail on this one. First attempt at a multi-coloured theme as well. Lots of work putting tiny pieces of masking tape on there. I didn't have 6 knobs of the same kind, so it's missing one and the waveform selector will also get a white one in the future.

Wow, looks amazing. Did you etch the letters in or etch away to top of the enclosure so the letters are raised?

I've been wanting to do a multicolored enclosure like this. Inspirational! Thanks for sharing.

You are correct, its a reverse etch. I'm a huge fan of that method also.

thanks guys, I appreciate your feedback.

as Cody already said, it's a reversed etch. Just to be clear, that means that the letters are raised. That gives more room for experimenting with different colours in contrast to the bare aluminium after sanding the raised parts. Regular etch with lowered letters is never as colourfull, as the most part of the enclosure will be bare aluminium
