Featuring a momentary bypass mode, it’s perfect for engaging the effect for just a few bars to help take parts to the next level.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Phaser Pedals

A phaser splits the signal and shifts the phase of one path through a series of all-pass filter stages. When recombined, moving peaks and notches sweep across the spectrum, creating a rounded swirl rather than the evenly spaced comb filtering of a flanger. Stage count, feedback, centre frequency, rate and depth shape the width, resonance and pulse of the sweep.

Guitar Pedal

Guitar Pedal pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Guitar Pedal related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.

Phaser

Creates moving peaks and notches by phase-shifting a parallel signal through all-pass filter stages and recombining it with the dry path. Stage count, feedback, centre frequency, rate and depth determine the breadth, resonance and pulse of the sweep.
