    Here is my re-draw of the control circuit and trimmer locations. Not sure if I'm 100% correct. If you can, post some closeups of the board from various angles including under the cardboard shield in the middle.

    This is the documentation I have - but the schematic is clearer for the "official" one.
    You'll notice that the Pro-Phaser (#3) is slightly different than the Phaser - Volume (#1)
    #1 has the volume circuit lamp (the LDR appears to be missing)
    The location in the circuit, and what they are called, of a couple of trimmers is different as well.
    I fell that the setting of the LFO output trimmer, as well as the trimmer for the Lamp Bias would be better if I could set them correctly.

    Somewhere there is a set of instructions with either measurements or settings for the various trimmers

    Here is a cleaned up but still not very readable schematic and instructions and what appears to be a re-draw of same. I notice there is a capacitor missing at the input transistor collector in the re-draw.
    I can't answer the original question though it looks like some of the trimmers set the limits for some of the controls.

    Why not post it?

    Morley PFV Volume Phaser circuit question

    I've just resurrected a classic Morley Phase Shifter - great optical circuit.
    While I was able to find a basically readable schematic the circuit has five trimmers in it and I can't find any documentation on either the preferred settings or adjustment procedure.
    According to the schematic at Shematic Heaven for the PFV they are:
    1 - LFO output adjustment the actual name is unreadable)
    2 - Lamp Bias
    3 - "Unreadable" Lamp
    4 - Mixer (Wet/Dry) in Phaser Circuit
    5 - Harmonic trim

    Aside from the Lamp Bias, which I set so that the lamp worked measured by the Mk 1 eyeball setting, the others I set centered.
    The pedal works and sounds great
    But I'm sure that with the correct settings it would sound and work even better.
    Anyone know where I could locate, or who might have the settings for the circuit?

    thanks
