Phaser pedal building - LFO/JFET impedance

Hey!

I've been making this LFO circuit:



To "feed" the gates of JFET's for my phasing effect:



However I've been thinking and the output of the LFO (Vgate) is going directly to the JFET gates, and I didn't measure the JFET's gate impedance, but I've read that it lies around 1Mega ohm. If that's the case, the way the circuit is built, it would make a voltage divider right, in practice attenuating the signal of the LFO? And IF I'm right, by putting a fat resistor following that 100k resistor (which is connected to Vbias), would resolve the problem?

I've been talking in other thread about generalities of the construction of the pedal, but I thought it was more appropriate to start this new one for this specific matter.

Thanks in advance.

QuoteWHY do you start a thought in one thread, and then start anOTHER thread to think some more?
To be honest I was taking care of last details to order my pcb, and was a little hurried, so if nobody answered me there, I could have a chance of answer here.. Anyway I'll try not to do this again.
