Phaser Pedals

Phaser pedals create moving notches in the frequency response by mixing phase-shifted signal paths with the dry sound. The number of stages, feedback, rate, depth, resonance and blend determine whether the effect is a gentle swirl, a sharp vocal sweep or a more pronounced, resonant pulse. Some designs offer envelope or expression control, while others keep the controls deliberately immediate. Before or after distortion changes the texture: before gain the phase movement is clipped into the note, while after gain it remains clearer. Check mono behaviour if the pedal is stereo-capable.
