This circuit demonstrates one of the most popular
+9 sounds of the late 70's and 80's for both guitarists
10nf and keyboardists, which in the 90's has been making
a comeback in recordings.

150k + 470k In the time domain, this circuit produces at the

output a 0 to 180-degree phase shift in the input
UA741 signal. Each of the four phase-shift stages are
+

brought up and down by an adjustable LFO, which

15uf provides the sweep drive to a network of JFETs,
LFO acting as variable resistors at the input to each
4.7k stage.

500k The output is derived from a mixture (mixed at the

PNP transistor) of the dry buffered signal, the
180-degree phase-shifted signal, and a tap at the
Sweep Rate 90-degree point in the network.

When viewed in the frequency domain, this whole

scheme appears to produce a psuedo comb filter,
the notches and peaks (hence the psuedo moniker)
of which are set at octave intervals, producing the
characteristic, "phasing" sound

This design is *very* similar to the commercial,

"MXR Phase 90" effect, circa 1978.
