from looking at this busted Phase100 I have here it looks a lot like a
single LED dual center-taped photocell arrangement ... very similar to what
Mutron used in the III follower pedal except the photocells are totally
separate in that one ... in the Mutron-III clone I connected the diodes of
two NSL-32's in series and adjusted the driver gain ... I say this because
the diodes are connected in series also in the phase100 also, so this might
work if you're totally stuck ...
