Oil Can Phaser

Classic Analog Phaser · Warm Organic Tones

Warm, organic, and deeply musical — the Oil Can Phaser draws its character from the mid-1970s Electra phaser circuit, rebuilt with equivalent modern components to preserve exactly that swooshing, pulsating analog quality. Place it before overdrive for depth and movement in your rhythm sound, or run it alone on clean tones for an expressive, liquid effect that modern digital phase pedals consistently fail to replicate. Speed and Depth give you all the control you need without overcomplicating what is fundamentally a visceral effect.
