Hmm, I was considering building one, until i played around with my brother's a couple of months ago. I found it too 'rich' for guitar - maybe down to personal taste. Looking at the schematic makes it tempting with those extra stages, frequency control and CV input, but I just didn't feel as at home with it as say a Small Stone. Having said that, for synths its great - just not my cup of tea for guitar.

Any chance of doing a sample, I'd be interested in hearing what it sounds like?

I'll ask him - but he lives in Germany and I'm in the UK. The phaser is a DIY one, not from the link you posted though, it's perf'ed. I got hold of a 5 module Roland 100m some years ago, and we both started building modules to pad it out. I ended up with a 12 module system, he's got a pure DIY 8 module system. I love it. I might marry it........

Heres more 100m schematics: http://fa.utfs.org/diy/roland100m/index.html
