Hey this is guitarleeman, I had an idea for 2 new effects pedal builds. I recently went on the GEOFEX site and tried to download the Ludwig PhaseII guitar synth. It only printed half a page. It would be cool to see the Ludwig Phase II as a verified build that could be downloaded as a PDF adobe file,with the foil side of the PCB and component layout and wiring included. The same could be done for the EH 16 Sec. delay(the vintage one) as a PDF file type DIY project. These would be 2 great projects I would like to see soon.  :icon_smile:

First about the EH 16 sec delay: there's no reason to try to clone it. You can't find a few ICs used in it.

About the Ludwig Phase II: it's very big. It's very rare to see people doing layouts of bigger effects. The bigger effects layouts I saw are the Microsynth, Boss DC-2, Roland Jet Phaser, Polyphase, and a few expert projects at Tonepad. And I'm collecting schematics and layouts for more than 5 years. Also, if somebody make a layout for this phaser, it will need a BIG board, or a few boards. So it's better to give up to clone it, there's a lot of great (and way easier to build) phasers around with layouts available.
