hi guys
i'm building a small stone from tonepad (http://www.tonepad.com/project.asp?id=11) but it's not phasing...
i hear the clean guitar and the lfo clock but no phase effect...
colour switch decreases volume

mods: no
parts replacement: 2k2 resistors instead of 2k - BC550 instead of 2N5088 (reverse pinout) - BC557 instead of 2N5087 (reverse pinout)
ICs: CA3080H

these are my voltage readings:
battery: 8.94v
v+ at the PCB: 8.94v
after 470ohm resistor: 7.17v

Q1 2.66v 2.19v 6.56v
Q2 5.03v 6.57v 7.17v
Q3 5.60v 3.88v 7.10v
Q4 5.07v 4.30v 7.17v
Q5 1.71v 1.59v 7.11v
Q6 1.49v 1.68v 7.16v
Q7 5.44v 5.71v 7.13v
Q8 4.88v 5.45v 7.17v
Q9 2.14v 2.50v 7.17v

hope you guys can help me, i can't find the problem...

thanks!

just wanted to let you know it's working
i've replaced the BC550 with 2N5088 and worked ... i had some BC550B and BC550C... the hFE difference between them seemed to be the trouble...
it's a great phase shifter...! i like it much better than my phase 90

cheers!
