The Watering Hole

I recently put together the BYOC Classic Phaser . I've never done much soldering, and it wasn't that hard to put together, I did mix up to resistors, a 4.7k and 470k, which I had to unsolder an replace. This is BYOC clone of th MXR phase 90 script model. I have the newer version, but it never sounded the same since I had it repaired, and I've got to say that the BYOC sounds a lot better than my old one ever did. Unlike the MXR Phaser, the BYOC has a depth control, turn it full to the right and it is the same as the MXR.
This is one great pedal if you like phasers, which I do with a clean sound, not too much just enough to provide a bit of motion, but has the ability to getty weird if thats what you like. A true bypass pedal that won't suck you tone, can be run up to 18volts. It's a lovely warm phaser that is very round and smooth. Bottom line, this pedal is well worth looking at if your afte a quality phaser.

I've just received the optical compressor kit, I'm going to put it together tonight. I'll try to get some sound bits later.

Hey James,

That sounds cool.  I have one of these and the board is populated, I'm just waiting for the pots to get in and I'll get mine up and running.  I can't wait.  It is supposed to be really good, so I'm not surprised you are digging it.

Let me know how you like the opti comp.  It's a more subtle comp, but again is supposed to be really good.    I'm ogling the new OD2.  WOW that thing looks cool!  

I built the compressor on friday night, and have had a pretty good play with it. I like it a lot. It can be very subtle at lower settings.
The problem I have with a most compressors is how they introduce a clicking pick attack, which bugs me. The opti comp will do this at the higher settings, but it is easy to find a setting which will introduce a nice amount of compression and sustain with out the recoil. I think this is the compressor I have been looking for, at the right price.

Nice choices.
