stereo polyphase
If the Flanger Hoax is too much for you, but you still
need more control than the Stones can offer you, the
Stereo Polyphase may just be the ticket. Feedback,
gain, and rate knobs allow for basic phase sculpting,
while start and stop knobs allow you to choose the
range of the phasing. Another knob allows you to
choose between envelope, LFO, and expression
pedal modes, with a toggle switch that chooses
between different settings for the envelope and
LFO modes. And since stereo is in the name, you
know you’ll be able to create lush sonic landscapes
by plugging into two amplifiers. You can also use an
expression pedal with it, making this a very versatile
phaser. Sadly, the Stereo Polyphase has been
discontinued, but there are plenty available on the
used market . . . for now.
