Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
John: I found another cite for an SSM2164-based phaser and it looks like the Cfb around the I-V converter were made bigger so that it acts more like a voltage variable integrator: http://userdisk.webry.biglobe.ne.jp/000/024/65/1/Vcph0505.GIF From looking at the all-pass network, doesn't it look like...

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
Here's a demo of the 8 pole with the last tap summed with direct. This one is mono output. http://www.proaudiodesignforum.com/content/VCA_Based_8_Pole_Phaser_Demo_8th_Tap_Only.mp3 (~1.5 MB) This following sample is with both the 4th and 8th sections summed with the direct. It's a little thinner but ...

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
No complication for the 12 pole - just running out of VCAs and protoboard room. I think this thing could be cascaded in three blocks of four to do a 12 pole. I'm not sure if the SSM2164 inverts or not. It looks like a voltage variable integrator with local feedback taken into the input summing node....

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
I think for now I'll align them using equal C values. That's how I usually see them. The Ec will be bused and they ought to track well. I may experiment with having an inverted CV to four of the (eight) poles so that as one goes up the other sweeps down. I also need to revisit Thomas Henry's Barber ...

Should I continue with this?

Re: A VCA-Based Phaser
Ever since I built an 8 pole "DynaPhaser" prototype back in the early 80's using a pair of SSM2040s I've wanted to rebuild that prototype using modern VCAs. I recalled that listening to it was such a mindf**k (pardon my English) it was worth revisiting. One of the things the SSM2040 had go...

A VCA-Based Phaser
I decided to make a THAT2180 VCA (actually three) into an all-pass filter. This is a three pole demo. I'm not going to stop building until I get to eight. A stereo output is derived from polarity inversion and a sum/difference network. Here's a quick and dirty demo. https://www.proaudiodesignforum.c...

Re: B+ and filament PSU problem
There should be a trim for the crowbar threshold. If it's an older power supply the carbon comp resistors that may have been used could have drifted significantly. The crowbar might also have an electrolytic for noise filtering that's failed.

Re: need a new scope...
I'll have to check but I think many of the used Leaders can be made to run on 220V. SInce they're Japanese they run fine on 50Hz. I have a collection of Tek, Leader and Philps analog Scopes as well as a Velleman USB scope. Though I like the Velleman - and used it for a lot of the Phantom Menace II w...

Re: B+ and filament PSU problem
Do you suppose that on start-up, even without tubes installed, that the B+ supply is making it to the filament output? Put a scope on the output of the filament supply and see if you see some transient when the B+ is turned on. Maybe there's some leakage current from B+ to filament which causes it t...
