Also I have a TU-3 coming that will go in front of the SD-1.

That's a nice board man.

More progress.

If you haven't tried a CE-2w yet, do yourself a favour. It is excellent.

Just waiting on the TU-3 to fill the first slot.

Well. I *love* the DM-2w. But the DD-5 is going back on the board. Running into a stereo PA it just adds more colour and movement

You need to get a DM-101 and have the best of both worlds

Joking aside, it's looking great and is inspiring me to re-work my IR-2 board.

Evil tempter!

I just picked up an MIJ PH-2 that needs some TLC. It will replace the MXR phaser.

Interesting! Certainly becoming the "in" pedal for many on gigs with the recent trend of no amps for small bars etc or where volume is an issue. And of course fly rigs...

PH-2 or RPH-10 is on my short list I do not need it by any means but wow is that a lot of analog phasing!

Pretty colours now

The Rate pot on the PH-2 was busted. The 12mm form factor for C250k is unobtanium, so I swapped the shaft from the Res pot to the Rate pot and replaced the Res pot with a 9mm B10k pot. What a pain in the backside.

ANYway, the board looks right now! Just waiting on the TU-3 to put in the vacant spot.

Fantastic! Congratulations for finding a way to save that potentiometer!
