fretmeister Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I have this ancient DOD Phasor 490 From what I gather they were made in 1978-early 80s. Most of the photos I find online have slightly different graphics. The name and number is on the opposite side and the text is white and not yellow: Reverb has a few white text ones at about £100 in various condition, and has 1 yellow text ones at £248 - although it hasn't sold yet and it does appear to be in better condition than mine. Without any luck so far I'm trying to find out if there are any circuit differences between the white and yellow text versions. I may well end up selling it but I want to know what I have first. And I'll need to find some extra baseplate screws to replace the ones I've lost! It makes a wonderfully swirly sort of Hawkwind on (extra) acid sound that I haven't heard elsewhere. Anyone got any ideas or information about them? I've had a look using the waybackmachine and similar, but the info is really limited and I can't see if there were different versions or if the different colouring was just cosmetic etc. Any hits from the pedal nerds would be greatly appreciated.

itu Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I have found these pages helpful, when Reverb isn't: http://www.effectsdatabase.com/ If the unit has ICs or transistors, it is quite common they have date codes.
