Distortion II, Final Phase & SMD Triple Wreck

[dan.schumaker]

Here are a few builds I've been working on for the last week or two.

Distortion II - Built on a Lectric FX board.  This is one of the pre-production boards Keefe had available.  This is a great sounding circuit, I really like being able to add some treble and bass with the resonance and filter pots


Final Phase - Another Lectric FX board from Keefe.  He was kind enough to let me be a guinea pig on this build, and I'm really glad to have been.  Another great sounding phaser.  There is some really wide and deep phasing going on with this one, another fun circuit.


Buick Drive - I got this board from Brane, one of his bonus boards.  This is a Triple wreck based on Chuckbuick's layout.  So I decided to remember him with the graphics on this guy.  Like all of his circuits, real good high gain tones to be had here.

Excellent builds!

I may have to try that dist 2.   Made one from a BYOC kit a long time ago and was not
impressed.

What on earth is that phaser based on. Is it an original circuit? 10-stagers are relatively rare, and I can't think of any that are OTA based, especially with selectable overdrive.

I am intrigued. And a little confused. But mostly intrigued.

Nice builds.

I believe the phaser is an a/da phaser clone. Never heard one in person built in videos they sound like they get pretty deep.

I believe the phaser is an a/da phaser clone. I believe there is an overdrive built in too.

And it's actually CMOS switch based, not OTA.

Nice builds though.

Now everyone can pelt me with rotten tomatoes for holding up the release of the Final Phase by not writing the set up procedure 

And 10 stages is... well it's debatable, it sort of is and sort of isn't.

Well, it certainly looks that way. Neat to see A/DA getting some love beyond its mythical flanger

(But dear god I hope that thing is less painful to bias than the flanger. Nightmares....)

There's still a back and forth between the clock min and clock range trimmers but no bias or gain adjustments so yeah i'd say it's a bit easier, no sweep trim this time either.

Setup was painless on mine, even with my complete lack of ability to read detailed instructions. Sounds killer and I'm not really a phaser guy. Even though I have at least a half dozen around here...

As big as this beast is I can see it being a regular on my live board.

Great builds Dan

Before I hogged in on this one...REALLY nice builds Dan.  Very nice touch with the Buick.  Fitting that it's such a nice job on the board, let alone an SMD.  Thanks for posting that, it's a great tribute from one of us to him.

The SMD board is quite impressive, and a nice tribute.

Hmmm and another Final Phase... wonder if it's a sign for me to get a board...

Great job, your pedals always look really nice.

Really nice looking builds, Dan!

That's my fault.  I'm actually unsure how many stages it is myself.  I had "10 stage" on the prototype pcb and meant to change it to "mutli-stage" for the production pcb....and then totally forgot.   
The next run will say multi-stage. Sorry for the confusion.

beautiful stuff Dan, nice tribute!
