Ross Phaser notes(for those who care!)

kluson guy	Ross Phaser notes(for those who care!) I just picked up a Taiwanese Ross Phaser in the hopes that it might provide me with a reference to debugging my dead USA orange Ross Phaser.   Its a totally different circuit!   Orange Ross, has a 4 transistors (2SC842 & 2SC37)and four RC4558's   Black Taiwanese circuit is IC based. 1 RC4558 and 3 LM13600N's     Just thought I'd throw this out.   Cheers

Rob	Thanks for the infro it might come in useful.     This appears to be a different circuit to the original Ross phaser, it didn't use LM13600N's.     Regards   Rob

Book Of The Day

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self. Note: The Ampage Archive is an Amazon Associate site. A small commission is paid to the site owner on any qualified purchase made after clicking an associate link such as the one above.

Fp	Can you take pictures or scan both sides of the board?     It is an OTA based phaser, like the small stone. I can imagine this one sounding very good.     Fp

elgorgon	I have the US Ross Dist/Phaser. The Phaser portion has three LM13600 and one 4558.

Mark Hammer	With 3 dual OTAs, it will have 6 stages. That's certainly not a night and day difference from a 4-stager, but my DOD FX20 Phaser has a similar configuration (three 13600's) and it sounds quite pleasant.

Sean Costello	Could one of the OTAs in the Ross phaser be used for a voltage-controlled VCO? Or is it pretty obvious that all three of the dual OTAs are used for phase shifting stages?     Sean Costello

Fp	It is likely that one of the OTAs is the LFO, and probably the dual opamp is an input buffer/output mixer/buffer.     I'd really like to see this LM13600 based phaser schem.     Fp
