The History Of Phaser Pedals

[@paulj0557tonehead]

17:15 MUTRON PHASE II was great. [ edit, I really was ogling the MUTRON BI-PHASE for over $100 that he had behind a glass case] I bought my PHASE II for fifteen bucks at a Hollywood guitar store back in 1985. I saw it by the door as I was leaving the store after handing the guy twenty bucks for a few Marshall schematics so I could convert my Sound City 120 into a Marshall. Best thing I ever did, building that amp. The Sound City had so many mustard caps with it's active tone controls, I didn't even need to acquire any parts to make it a 1969 Marshall. Sounded like Angus Young. It sounded great with the Rat pedal. ATTENTION Sound City owners. No need to gut your amp. I've since found the Sound City 120's sound great as-is with a Rat ( "white background" logo, which is same as wide rat , or square Rat with black background logo...all with a scripted word in logo, 'Proco" I think...just watch Josh's Rat video.). SOUND CITY 120's benefit with the Trainwreck Type-I post phase inverter master volume. On the 50 Watt Sound City's simply cascade plate cap from CH1 V1a preamp plate circuit (post plate cap) into CH2 grid ( basically early Mesa Boogie style) TAKE HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

[@benbassist]

Lucy. Candlebox. Bass guitar. Favorite use of Phaser.

[@Mizzdr111]

When I played my first show live , I had to borrow a rich friends Carvin solid bodu guitar made of one piece of wood. When we were doing the soundcheck I asked If I could borrow his phaser, I think it was a boss or an MXR, it was white and had three knobs. I was poor, boo hoo, and didnt have anything good yet. I didnt know what a phaser really did or how to use it, so I just turned the last knob all the way up and got this super fast tremolo deal. I figured during my solo I would hit the button and add this wierd effect since I wasnt any good, and this would add some intersting quality to my two note performance. This was back in 83, I remember when I hit the button I could barely here the notes, much less the effect. Fell flat. Maybe thats why I never owned one, though my RP÷1 I bought in 95 does have it included. Pink Floyd, Have a Cigar has got to be the most iconic use of this effect. EVH and Manfred Mann also did alot for it I guess... fun video.

The melody is a blend of "Hot Blooded", "My Woman From Tokyo", and "Third Stone From the Sun". I would've called it "My Third Hot Blooded Stone From Tokyo". The Date is April 16th. 😜😂😂 I'll show myself out. "Yield" was a great record! For me it was their return to form established on "Ten" and "Versus". I would rank them: "Ten", "Yield"/"Versus" (based on my mood for the day) then "Binaural" then all others. (Haven't heard the new record so not sure where that fits.) I couldn't stand "Vitology" though. Hate me if you want, but that's how I feel. That thing at the end sounded more like a Ring Modulator than a Phaser.

Well, if the Univibe counts as a phaser, then I would have to say that Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs” is my favorite phaser song of all time.

[@CorbCorbin]

It counts as the best phaser in my opinion. I love all of them really, so I use an optical phaser with Vibrato option, and Asymmetrical/Symmetrical switch, with 4 speeds, from normal to Ring Mod, etc. I really dig phasers.

Shout out to the great Electronic Projects for Musicians book, Phase shifter/ Vibrato. 5 stage ( well five CLM6000 opto isolators anyway). I absolutely loved mine. I built every project in the book except the chromatic tone tuner and the little solid state bench amp. Phase shifter was number one! The vibrato can go ultra slow and it can be downright evil sounding. Tom Oberheim also invented the Ring Modulator, aka Maestro RM1 for his college thesis. That pedal is pure gold for experimental musicians. The RM1's control voltage input ( CV-in ) was my introduction to electronic music and multimedia. I used $5 Coron DS7 drum synth , a Yamaha Electone B4CR organ I found on a pile of dirt , and made countless tape loops on my Wollensak table top portable reel to reel recorders, copping drum beats from records. Ah' the days when gear was utility and could be rummaged together.

The Pearl PH-03 phaser was one of my first ever pedals. It's great because it has its own distinct voice and great tweaking potential. Downsides, as usual with phasers, a slight volume drop and a noticable swoosh even when you don't play. I'd never get rid of it!

You missed one of my favorite phasers. I think it was made by Maestro, and was a wedge of aluminum and black plastic. The pots were side mounted with wheels instead of knobs so that you could adjust them with your feet on the fly. In the days before midi or control pedals, this was a great idea. The two adjustments were speed and "balls".

It was a cheapo, but really nice, and had pickups and mics and switches added because who cares if you ruin a Kent? More on topic, I remember Leo Kottke using phaser a lot once he started making records with bands and singing. As a purist at the time, I was not pleased. It actually sounds pretty cool. I wonder which one he used? Woulda been 1974-ish. It's funny, for me now, that phaser sound is exactly what I want to hear if I need to hear phaser - clean, slow, and nicely whooshy.

One of my favorite phaser songs is "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em" by KISS, from the Rock And Roll Over album (1976). I don't know exactly what phaser was used on Ace Frehley's guitar, but I know it was added after at the mixing stage, and at was at least a 6-stage phaser, at minimum. It was probably an Eventide Instant Phaser, or a Mu-Tron. Phaser was all over 70s guitar (and keyboards, bass, drums, and even vocals), just like chorus in the 80s. To me, it's about as representative of the decade as Evel Knievel, leisure suits, and Farrah Fawcett.

[@shimmyfix9315]

Josh, How could you forget the UNIVOX PHZ-1 Phazer? (circa 73-74) Mine sat atop a Rhodes stage piano and the guys in the band called it my Univox Lunch Box. It was nearly identical in size to one, had a top handle, and a latching rear compartment to store the hard-wired AC cord and bypass footswitch. I'd wager it's a serious contender for first place in the largest encloser category. . The best bit though was the VIDEO COUNTER window which displayed a red illuminated UNIVOX logo that pulsed in time with the speed setting.

That's awesome, I was just getting back into Yield and watching some of their old concerts. That album is definitely their high point in my opinion. And by high point, I mean that they were just making a really good record as a band again instead of experimenting or reacting to their last record. Really good band with some flaws, but no one can deny their best work.

You left out the only Hi-Q phase shifter, the A/DA Final Phase. It is very distinct and does not use the standard opamp all-pass circuit. Circa 1978, it was first a SeaMoon product.

This is a way out-of-date comment...but just in case: it always seemed to me that Steve Miller used the phaser effects of the day for some of his most popular stuff in the 70's (Jet Airliner being the most obvious). But I couldn't find much info on that. Anybody confirm??

"The Jello is alive" is now my favorite jam!
