Ok, I've had quite a bit of interest in this pedal. I never intended to build any to sell for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's a big, complex and very intensive build, which sadly hikes the asking price. Secondly, it's a 14 stage FET based phaser, that's 14 closely matched FETs for each and every build - I'd need to buy 100s of FETs to be able to match up sets for each unit. However, there's interest, so maybe I should build some for you guys. BTW, this design is very unique, not 'based on...' or 'derived from...', I designed it from the ground up to have a specific feature set and sonic potential that I don't see in any other phaser available. So.........I'm thinking of building 6 of these and offer them for sale. I'll really only do it if I can secure buyers for all 6 units before I set out on parts orders and some minor tweaks to rationalise the build process. Any interest?

Looks ATM that's they're gonna come in at around $450 USD plus shipping, assuming I can do a run of 6.

I don't have that kind of money unfortunately, or I would jump on that within a splitsecond.. Don't have a phaser atm, but with this I guess you're almost completely settled phaser-wise :lol:

OK looks like the first 7 are spoken for right now. I'll be putting together bulk parts orders for this batch early next week, so I'll be closing the book on the current run very shortly.

I can build these in my sleep now (over a few nights, obviously). Also, I bought far too many FETs for the first run, so there's plenty left over for more Sonic Death Rays.

well, i can't afford a $450 phaser, but that's the nicest-sounding phaser i've ever heard, and i've been playing guitar since 1970. well done, sir. :thumb:
