PHASER
ENABLE: Turns the PHASER effect on or off. Select ACTIVE to turn it on. Select
BYPASSED to turn it off.
INSERT: Positions the PHASER effect. Choose PRE to position the effect in the PRE-
EFFECTS section (mono, before the amp model). Choose POST to position the effect
in the POST-EFFECTS section (stereo, after the amp model).
LEVEL (dB): Adjusts the level of the output from the PHASER effect.
DEPTH (0-100%): Controls the depth of the LFO. As depth is increased, the LFO will
have a wider sweep range. This means that the notch filters formed by the PHASER
will sweep across a wider range of frequencies.
WIDTH (0-100%): Controls the amount of stereo panning of the PHASER from 0%
(fully summed to mono) to 100% (full stereo panning). The INSERT must be in POST
mode for stereo operation.
SPEED (Hz): Controls the rate at which the LFO oscillates. The output of the LFO is
used to sweep the center frequencies of a selectable number (see STAGES below)
of notch filters. SPEED controls how quickly these notch filters sweep through the
range of frequencies.
SWEEP (0-100%): Controls the sweep range of the notch filters. Set to a higher
percentage to sweep across a wider range of frequencies.
REGEN (0-100%): Controls the amount of regeneration (or feedback) of the PHASER.
Adding regeneration causes the peaks around the notch filters to grow more sharp
and the filters become more resonant.
WAVE (0-100%): Adjusts the geometric shape of the LFO. The LFO shape is
adjustable from full triangle wave (0%) to full sine wave (100%) or anywhere in
between.
DUTY (0-100%): Adjusts the rise and fall time of the LFO. At 50%, the LFO will rise
and fall at the same rate. The percentage indicates what portion of one LFO period
will be spent during the rise. For example, at 25% it will rise for 1/4 of the total period
of one LFO cycle and fall in 3/4 of the period. So it will rise three times as quickly as
it falls. Set to 100% for a constantly rising (or “barberpole”) PHASER effect.
PHASE (0-359°): Controls the phase relationship between the left channel LFO and
the right channel LFO for the stereo PHASER. This allows some of the notches to
be sweeping up on one channel while the other channel sweep’s down. Note: The
PHASER must be in POST position for it to operate in stereo mode.
STAGES (2-4-6-8-10-12): Controls the number of notch filters present in the
PHASER. More stages results in more notches which produces a more dramatic
PHASER effect.
