Shout out to the great Electronic Projects for Musicians book, Phase shifter/ Vibrato. 5 stage ( well five CLM6000 opto isolators anyway). I absolutely loved mine. I built every project in the book except the chromatic tone tuner and the little solid state bench amp. Phase shifter was number one! The vibrato can go ultra slow and it can be downright evil sounding. Tom Oberheim also invented the Ring Modulator, aka Maestro RM1 for his college thesis. That pedal is pure gold for experimental musicians. The RM1's control voltage input ( CV-in ) was my introduction to electronic music and multimedia. I used $5 Coron DS7 drum synth , a Yamaha Electone B4CR organ I found on a pile of dirt , and made countless tape loops on my Wollensak table top portable reel to reel recorders, copping drum beats from records. Ah' the days when gear was utility and could be rummaged together.

My dad is from Rochester, NY and didn't live too far from where Keith developed the phase 90. In fact, my dad has one of the original models when he was building them out of his house.

The melody is a blend of "Hot Blooded", "My Woman From Tokyo", and "Third Stone From the Sun". I would've called it "My Third Hot Blooded Stone From Tokyo". The Date is April 16th. 😜😂😂 I'll show myself out. "Yield" was a great record! For me it was their return to form established on "Ten" and "Versus". I would rank them: "Ten", "Yield"/"Versus" (based on my mood for the day) then "Binaural" then all others. (Haven't heard the new record so not sure where that fits.) I couldn't stand "Vitology" though. Hate me if you want, but that's how I feel. That thing at the end sounded more like a Ring Modulator than a Phaser.

Incubus’ “Morning View” might have my favorite phaser sounds. I think he had one Phase 90 and two Boss PH-1s at that time.

Gary Numan used the MXR Phase 100 loads on The Pleasure Principle and Telekon, mainly on a Polymoog, beginning of "Cars", for example and the warbly middle bit as well as at the instrumental ending....

I am loving this channel! So fortunate to be informed on so much history and information on guitar pedals...thank you!!!

You missed one of my favorite phasers. I think it was made by Maestro, and was a wedge of aluminum and black plastic. The pots were side mounted with wheels instead of knobs so that you could adjust them with your feet on the fly. In the days before midi or control pedals, this was a great idea. The two adjustments were speed and "balls".

Hands down the best ‘has the box’ segment yet.

The 'Space Station Boardwalk' melody is incredibly similar to the 'Born on the Bayou' guitar solo by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Real close, real cool. Also, grew up with the more compact Pearl Phaser in the house.

I am always stoked on y’all drum sounds

The univibe is my favorite pedal ever, there's nothing like that sound specially in the hands of Hendrix.

29:00 Yield is one of PJ's best. Was well out of high school (and college) by that time. It has real vigor and power, like Mudhoney's "Tomorrow Hit Today," also from '98 (the last gasp of "grunge" before the label got somewhat retired, maybe perhaps).

Anthony Jackson’s bass part on The O’Jay’s “For The Love Of Money.”

The time, effort and ability taken to produce this shines through in these videos, outstanding.

I'm so glad I rewound to find out what "you know who you are" was about. Josh helps make my day again.

I've been playing for fifty years this year {2022}. The best sounding phaser I have ever heard was an early Ross. The effect is heard, but not harsh or over the top, very musical and lush.

WE GOTTA HAVE THEM ALL TOGETHER. also mostly because i wanna know which to buy but there’s no shootout videos of them lol

Enjoyed this, as I always do. Seeing that Kent logo connected some dots for me. My main, hot-rodded acoustic decades hence was a Kent, with that exact logo! It was a cheapo, but really nice, and had pickups and mics and switches added because who cares if you ruin a Kent? More on topic, I remember Leo Kottke using phaser a lot once he started making records with bands and singing. As a purist at the time, I was not pleased. It actually sounds pretty cool. I wonder which one he used? Woulda been 1974-ish. It's funny, for me now, that phaser sound is exactly what I want to hear if I need to hear phaser - clean, slow, and nicely whooshy.

Really good band with some flaws, but no one can deny their best work.

Best video ever made about the Phaser effect.

I couldn't shut my Phase 90 off in the early 70's! I was like an addict!

One of my favorite phaser songs is "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em" by KISS, from the Rock And Roll Over album (1976). I don't know exactly what phaser was used on Ace Frehley's guitar, but I know it was added after at the mixing stage, and at was at least a 6-stage phaser, at minimum. It was probably an Eventide Instant Phaser, or a Mu-Tron. Phaser was all over 70s guitar (and keyboards, bass, drums, and even vocals), just like chorus in the 80s. To me, it's about as representative of the decade as Evel Knievel, leisure suits, and Farrah Fawcett.
