Phaser Pedals

Phaser pedals are the sound of psychedelia. With their swirling, spacey sound, phaser pedals can add shimmer to stale rhythm parts and chewy personality to solos.

Phaser pedals split your guitar signal into two or more signal paths. These signals are known as stages. One signal passes straight through unaffected. The other signal has particular frequencies removed or boosted, known as ‘notches’. These notches are then modulated up and down the frequency spectrum. The dry signal and affected signal then combine to create the final sweeping, three-dimensional sound. The more ‘stages’ you have, the more pronounced the effect.

Famous phaser pedal fancy include Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood and Zakk Wylde.
