Friend wanted a phase 90, so I made him a BYOC phase royal clone.
He specified the finish and name 'Jive Turkey'. I don't get it, but that's what he wanted! I hope it's not racially insensitive or anything, that's not my intent!
With all the jumpering and tight component placement, I'm flat out amazed I only made one small mistake on the last phase stage (mixing pin 5 & 6 for two components).
It tuned perfectly!
I lucked out with a batch of 25 FETs, found 6 that had Vgs of 1630, 1636, 1637, 1658, 1655 and 1653. I put 1630 and 1658 (the outliers) in the last (optional) 2 phase stages.
After testing on bass and guitar, I found that it sucked a noticeable amount of lows, even when mixed full clean. So I doubled every cap in the clean signal line. I could have tripled it I think, but it's better.
I might try one with larger signal caps everywhere, bass phaser
