#maestro phaser

[doppleganger-rental]

This is and will always be my favorite guitar pedal. Designed by Bob Moog! The ultimate phaser pedal. They made a bigger, fancier version of this (which I have also owned) but after trying both the “extras” weren’t essential. This thing IS essential. The voicing on this is exactly what I like and having tried TONS of phasers, nothing beats it. The other thing is that the slowest speed setting on this is also to my taste. A lot of phasers are too fast at their slowest spot. I don’t know why I am posting this since non-guitar players could care less but I just love it so. Also, I’ve seen this on many a pro’s pedalboard including Mike McCready and Beck’s. It’s a keeper. And I haven’t even mentioned the genius design of the balls and speed dials being foot friendly. Great big dials. So smart. Also I love that the depth dial is called balls 😂.

Mad Bean Stage Fright. This is a clone of the Maestro Phaser with an option for 5 or 6 stages. It’s an OTA based phase shifter.

Madbean Stage Fright

This sounds really good. The difference between the 5 and 6 stages is very noticeable. Overall a very musical effect.

I built this from a madbean pcb. The layout was great and everything went together well. I drilled a 125B sized box following the drilling guide but, couldn’t get it to fit in the box! The jacks hit the tops of the chips. I’m guessing that this because I used sockets. There is probably a mention of this in the build notes that I overlooked.

In the end I drilled a 1590BB sized box. Which worked very well. I think I like this better than the 125B size.
