More information:
Barber Pole Phaser
Like the "Shepard" tone, this type gives the illusion of a never-ending cycle. Works best when placed at the end of the chain.
Mono or stereo
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
Parameters table
| Parameter | Axe-Fx III | Axe-Fx II | AX8, FX8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | yes | ||
| Rate | yes | ||
| Tempo | yes | ||
| Depth | yes | ||
| Feedback | yes | ||
| Frequency | yes | ||
| Frequency Span | yes | ||
| Tone | yes | ||
| Phaser Mode | yes | ||
| Order | yes | ||
| LFO Type | yes | ||
| LFO Phase | yes | ||
| Bulb Bias | yes | ||
| Feedback Tap | yes | ||
| LFO Reset on Bypass | yes |
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 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, III and FX8).
