OK I did some searching and I couldnt get what I was looking for, the 250k trimmer on the phase 90 is there a voltage I need to measure when setting it or just tune to taste?

I am getting a very good phase at present but it varies in character when I change the trimmer I just wnat some kind of reference point to set it to if there is one

Cheers

There is good way to know ahead of time. That pot sets the amount of back bias on the phasing JFETs to get the best phasing sound. There's probably a way to figure it out mathematically given that you know the Vgsoff of the JFETs, but it's far simpler to set it where it sounds best.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.
