Phaser effect types
Uni-vibe effect
The Vibe effect is available as a special mode of the Phaser block. Set Vibe Mode to On (or select the Classic Vibe type). The default settings are modeled after the Fulltone Deja-Vibe. source
"You need it before the amp if you want the bump." source
Tip: connect a pedal or switch (via an external controller) to the Rate parameter to control speed.
More information about the Uni-Vibe.
Barber Pole Phaser
This phaser type works best when placed at the end of the chain.
Mono or stereo output
Phaser defaults to mono to prevent phase problems when used before an Amp block. To make it stereo, change the LFO Phase setting and place it after Drive, Amp and (mono) Cab.
Parameters
The Owner's Manual explains the parameters.
Parameters table
| Parameter | Axe-Fx III | Axe-Fx II | AX8, FX8 |
|---|---|---|---|
Order
Increase the Order parameter to simulate phasers such as the EHX Small stone and Mu-tron Bi-Phase.
Feedback Tap
"There is no feedback on a Script 90." source
LFO Bypass Reset
If the parameter “LFO Bypass Reset” is set to anything other than “Off”, the LFO will be reset to the selected phase whenever the block is bypassed. This allows synchronizing the sweep to the engagement of the effect.
Troubleshooting
Thump when engaging the Phaser
If engaging/bypassing the Phaser block causes an audible thump or gap, change input impedance to 1M (Axe-Fx II and FX8).
