out other frequencies and letting others shine through . This is essentially what is happening with a phaser .
BEING A WANNABE CHILD OF THE ‘ 70S , THIS OLD EFFECT HAS FOUND ITS WAY INTO MY OWN PLAYING STYLE AS WELL . I have collected a number of phasers over the years , with each one having a unique sound and use , fitting to all sorts of fuzzed out and throbby excursions of the cosmos . I find that the right phaser can add a really beautiful texture to a distorted sound that imparts just the right amount of movement to keep a fuzz or overdrive tone interesting .
SO WHILE MASSIVELY POPULAR PHASERS SUCH AS THE MXR PHASE 90 , BOSS PH SERIES , AND THE EHX SMALL STONE GET A LOT OF LOVE , I would like to introduce to you a few phasers that you may or may not have heard of , from my own personal collection . These phasers represent some of my favorite types of phasing with a variety of different uses , and all represent a part of what makes phasers as a whole so great . So without further ado , lets jump right in .
This is a phaser from the mind of Roy Zichri , of Israeli pedal outfit Greenhouse FX . I had the pleasure of visiting his personal sonic workshop last summer in Northern Israel , where he gave me the Sonic Orb in promise of me “ doing something cool with it .”
The thing I like about this phaser is its resonance and liquidity . This is definitely one of the most vocal sounding phasers I have ever tried , and sounds really good running at slow speeds , with the resonance controls notched up a bit for a long and vocal sweep . Have a listen below :
