When you have completed your build, do not forget to adjust the
trimpots. The pedal will not work until you do. You DO NOT need to use a
multimeter or oscilloscope to set any of the trimmers. The best tool for
setting the trimmers is your ear.
PAN LEFT and RIGHT trimmer(100k): Plug just the left output into
only one amp. Do not attempt “stereo” yet. Adjust the PAN LEFT trimmer
till you hear a tremolo effect (panning in mono is nothing more than
tremolo). Play around with the rate knob. You want to adjust the PAN
LEFT trimmer till you get the deepest tremolo effect from the left output.
Now repeat this for the PAN RIGHT trimmer using only the right output and
one amp.
Once you have both sides dialed in to produce the deepest tremolo effect,
you can plug into two different amps.
PHASER BIAS trimmer(100k): This trimmer sets the bias of the phaser
signal. Adjust this trimpot till you get the deepest phase effect.
PHASER Voice trimmer(1M): This trimmer affects the voice of the phaser
effect. Turning it one way will give you more of an “EW” vowel sound.
Turning the other way will give you more of an “AH” vowel sound”.
There’s no right or wrong setting for this trimmer. It’s really a matter of
preference.
