Phase Royal

Hi.

So I got a Phase Royal for Christmas. Or...I got a kit to build one. So I built it! (It won the poll BTW)

The build wasn't that hard, but soldering thing together is a ton of fun. I really enjoy it for some reason.

So here are some pictures of the build:

The tricky part was getting it to work properly. There is a trim pot that you need to adjust to get the thing to phase right. This controls the bias for a LFO. It will phase if it is not properly adjusted, but it won't sound that great.


I spent a good deal of time adjusting the trimpot. Probably 20 minutes a night for four nights until it sounded good. Now it sounds good! In fact, I'm going to go play through it now.
