I did try it but not really working... Needed to boost signal at input and oscillation is really not stable...
"Eddit", wen I added the 4 missing resistors, work like a charm, not the most powerful phaser vibrato but very pleasant. I had great results with NSL32 optocouplers. but I will try LED/LDR tomorrow again, I tried some today but background noise was BIG...

Eddit, the only problem I'm facing is that to have enough electricity to fully run the leds, the darlinton pair for the leds overheat...

Update on built:
1 the best is to use only one lamp for all 3 LDRs à la Univibe.
2 USE trimpot in series with resistor (82R) on darlington who drives lamp effect is very sensitive to lamp brightness
3 40408 can be replaced by BC141
4 I used BC108B from CDIL

Last Update
Added a 4th stage (cloned T3/T4 or T5/T6 stage). Much better definition in sound. Now sounds amazing. Used LDRs 30K/5M from Musikding
