How does it sound with a keyboard?

Well does it sound as good as it looks?
I'll go and try it now with my Juno 60.........see you guys in a few weeks.....

frequencycentral, you make some seriously beautiful pedals, aesthetic in all facets

Dude in all seriousness, you should probably build some of them, i'm like puking all over myself just listening to this and looking at it in its sexy leds maybe we'll go out on a date some time, me and that phaser..m...mmmm....mm

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?

How much?
I like phaser

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

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 think I need to start saving in case you do another run of these!

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.
