I almost made a not so small fortune by cloning the MXR Phase 90.
It was easy to clone and nightmare to match the JFETs.
I did end up looking at that, and then the page for flanger, which led me to the page for Eventide, which seems to be still around. I almost went to work for them once, and in the interview process the guy made it a point to tell me that they ordered just enough parts for production and that it'd be a real problem if I were to take any home for my own projects. I found that rather insulting, him assuming right off that if I went to work there I'd be stealing from them, and informed him that I had plenty of parts of my own, and wouldn't need to bother with any of theirs.
I don't recall anything about having to match the jfets. Maybe I was seeing different stuff in those days? Maestro comes to mind. And I have a vague recollection of a phaser that used LDRs rather than jfets, though I'd have to do some digging to find out what one that was. All of that being in the pile called "schematics and service manuals that I'll probably never use again"...
Now I'm wondering how complicated it would be to put together some sort of a digital effects box.
