Phaser: in the Axe-Fx II owner's manual

  • 5.23 Phaser [PHA]

Phaser: supported by which Fractal Audio products?

  • Axe-Fx II: yes.
  • FX8: yes.

Phaser: stereo or mono 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 blocks.

Phaser: Feedback Tap parameter

  • Cliff: "There is no feedback on a Script 90." source

Phaser: preventing thump when engaging

  • If engaging/bypassing the Phaser block causes an audible thump or gap, change Input Impedance to 1M.

Phaser: controlling the start of the sweep

  • Use the parameter “LFO Bypass Reset”. When set to 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.

Phaser: Uni-vibe effect

  • The Vibe effect is a special mode of the Phaser block. Set Vibe Mode to On (or select the Classic Vibe type).
  • Tip: connect a pedal or switch (via an external controller) to the Rate parameter to control speed.
  • Excellent Robin Trower vibe settings.

Phaser: Barber pole

  • This phaser type works best when placed at the end of the chain.

Phaser: various tips
