[sdiy] Blacet Stonz

[Fiercefish]

Hmm, the problem is if I am controlling it with CV and it kinda goes a bit
too extreme - not suitable for using live in its current state - one tiny
bit too much and bang goes the PA and the audience's hearing! Is there any
way I can limit the upper range of the regen pot? Don't get me wrong, I'm
sure that there is a use for this in the right context and aside from this
it is a truly great phaser, but for my use I'd prefer to have more control
of the regen over the whole travel of the pot, any suggestions?

  This control is meant to go "extreme". Don't turn it so far. About 50%
rotation is plenty in most cases!

    Finished building my Stonz last night (5 hours work in total) and it
works ok, but is the regen knob meant to go into "self oscillation feedback
loud horrible noise it hurts my ears make it stop" when at 12'oclock
position? or have I futzed a connection somewhere? The problem seems worse
when in positive mode, I hope I have done something wrong or this module is
useless to me, it is that unpleasant.

    Cheers
