I just finished working out some kinks in my build of a certain members vero layout of the Phase45/vibe, and I'm so pleased with the result. I still have to find a pair of fet's that are better matched (i just grabbed two random ones to test it out), but it still sounds great.
This was my third build, after the Nurse Quacky and the Tychobrae octavia, and is the first time in my pedal building life that I didn't concider changing anything. The nurse and the octavia were okay stock, but i had to make a few changes to both to get closer to the sound i was after, and i still havent really achieved that, but the phase45 delivered right off the blocks. This pedal will be the only of the three that will find a permanent spot on my board.
I am very VERY happy with it, and would emplore anyone who hasnt build it to do so. The layout and instructions were clear and easy to follow, though i think they've since been taken down. I could email them to anyone who wants them in about a weeks time.

The next two builds on my list are an Active feedback loop which i've been designing (with ALOT of help from colin from experimentalists anon), and a digital delay, possibly the pt80, but probably the rebote2. I also want to do some mods to the delay, similar to those that moosapotomus did, and probably removing the lowpass filter from the feedback loop.

Anyway, cheers to everyone who's helped me out (either through direct questioning, or answers to someone elses), without your advice, i would never have gotten anything built as quickly. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of the complete phase45 in the near future, and maybe soundclips as well.

well, thanks again!
