1. Phazer Phase Curves

The following phase curves detail how the Phazer will affect the signal. As you look at these curves, you will notice that the phase response is not linear. This is what makes an analogue phase tool completely different from a digital delay. The Phazer actually applies a phase shift on the high frequencies first, and then as you increase the phase shift, the low frequencies become affected. The result is, in a word, musical.

Mauve - Shows the direct response when the phase effect is bypassed. Note the Phazer has a true-bypass - thus the perfectly flat response
Cyan - Shows the curve when the phase control is set with minimal phase shift. Note the phase effect is only applied on the high frequencies
Yellow - Shows the curve when the phase control is set to approximately 50% of phase shift. The phase effect is applied to both the mids and highs while retaining the lowest fundamental intact
Green - Shows the curve when the phase control is set to maximum 180º phase shift. Note the phase effect is applied to the whole signal with 130º of phase shift at 20Hz and 180º of phase shift on the rest
Blue, Red, Pink - Show the same three response curves but add 180º to the effect when the output polarity switch has been engaged. This allows the user to extend the effect to a full 360º
