8 FAB PHASERS FOR YOUR
SWIRLING PLEASURE
Phasers provide everything from subtle whoosh to dramatic, warbly undulations.
They can add sweet, swirly dimension to chords or make your guitar sound like a ray
gun from a ‘50s sci-fi B-movie. As one of the first effect pedals I ever tinkered with,
phasers have a special place in my heart, and on my pedalboard. They probably
aren’t used as often as delay, reverb, and overdrive, but sometimes phaser is exactly
what a song needs to make it complete. There are many phasers to choose from,
so I’ve selected a handful of the best—both vintage classic and new boutique—to
narrow it down for you.
