Phaser not working properly

  • Hi all!
    I hope you can help me out. I just finished the Phaser and it does work, but not properly. So I measured the values.
    I know where the problems are but don't know what to do. It's the second kit I built, so I'm a newbie :)

    IC 1, pin 3: 3,95 (should be 4,9 V)
    The rest is okay.

    IC 2 and 3 are okay.

    Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 are not okay. All of these have the same values for S (4,9V), D (4,9V) and G (1,7V, which is too low).
    Q5 is okay.

    D1 is 4,97 (should be 5.1V).
    So, what to do?
    Am I losing voltage somewhere on the board? But it's not much. I think pin 3 of IC 1 is and the Q1-Q4 are the main problems right?

    I hope someone can help me out!
    best, William


    BTW: I used the pdf with operating values and measured to GND (input jack).

  • Okay, I fixed a few issues.
    The only thing remaining is:
    - IC1, pin 3 gives a value of 3.35V (instead of 4,9V which it should be)
    - D1 is also a bit lower than the 5.1V it should be. It still measures 4.97V

    Can this be fixed?
    Any tips?

  • Hi,

    have you ever adjusted the trim pot? - I didn't read anything about that from you. There is only a small region where the phaser works properly.

  • Hi Bernd,
    yes I adjusted it, so the Q1-Q4 issues solved this stupidity :)
    But IC1, pin3 and D1 don't change when the trimpot is adjusted. So, something else might be the problem there.

    My zener diode also has a value of 4.95V thats OK, my Input Voltage from power plant is 9.05

    But IC1 Pin3 is really too low IC1a is impedanz changer wie gain of 1 means it will change the high impedance of the guitar to a lower one, Pin 1 (output) is connected to Pin2 (In-) Pin is In+, R2 is connected to Pin3 on one side and vref on the other side, maybe there is the Problem, a shortcut to GND which is pulling the Vref down, try to clean Pin3 and Pin4 (which is GND) and solder them again, the solder liquid maybe is creating a resistor.

    P.S.: I checked you images, look at C1 try to shorten the wire (use a nail clip) C1 is connected to Ground and may have a shortcut

    I have 4.8V at Pin3, and my phaser works, seems to be ak, but 3.35V is not OK
