- Axe-Fx II: yes.
- AX8: yes.
- FX8: yes.
X/Y switching in the Phaser block
The Phaser block in the Axe-Fx II, AX8 and FX8 supports X/Y switching.
Phaser: 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.
Feedback Tap parameter in the Phaser block
Fractal Audio: "There is no feedback on a Script 90." source
Preventing 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).
Controlling the start of the Phaser sweep
Use the parameter “LFO Bypass Reset”. When 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.
Creating an 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). This mode at default settings was modeled after the Fulltone Deja-Vibe. source
Fractal Audio: "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.
Barber Pole Phaser type
This phaser type works best when placed at the end of the chain.
