Hello all,

I've been hearing wonderful things about this pedal. They go for like $1000 on ebay generally. I found some really neato sound samples at http://www.prophecysound.com.

Unfortunately, the guy there isn't building these anymore, nor offering any secrets so I'm stuck with building one from scratch. I love a challenge.

Bajaman gave me 2 schematics to work from, let's see how i can post them, they're PDFs. Here's a sendspace.com link

If there is trouble, PM me.

Only the phase stage schematic showed up.
The noise from the tape deck was only drowned out by the buzz from the wine.

That's strange:

Here then is the full schematic separately:

Thanks!

I wonder why they went with fets as the panning variable element and photocells for the phasing? Or is/was matching the fets for the phasing stage too much trouble?

The production date of this box is probably written on that schematic, but my Japanese is a bit rusty :D Does your box have an identifiable serial somewhere?

thanks in advance

Professor,

I'm curious what is written on the semiconductors.


Does your inside look like this one?

Looks really nice btw!

I was thinking of adding the pan section to my Voodoo Vibe to make full use of the double outputs.

I've tried to make the panning schematic a bit better readable. I'm not sure about certain things, so please add your comment!

Linkie; this could be a fun little project!

the reissue has been forsale for awhile... $250 USD, not too expensive.
