Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Analogue Phase Shifter Effects Pedal - Silver
The Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phase Shifter generates thick sweeping phase shifting with liquid...The Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phase Shifter generates thick sweeping phase shifting with liquid transparency. The feedback color control adds a tingling swirl. The Rate control adjusts the speed of the phasing sweep, turn Rate clockwise for a faster sweep. Color SwitchThe Color Switch changes the sound of the phase shift between a full and robust phase shift in the down position to a more pronounced instance phase shift in the up position. When in the up position, notice how the Nano Stone carves into the frequency spectrum hollowing out the sound. Fundamentals and harmonics glide in and out for an extremely pronounced shifting effect. Return the Color switch to the down position and notice the fullness. The Electro Harmonix Small Stone may be small, but has a tremendous effect. With its unique tone and rich sounds, it's a great asset for blues, country and even metal guitarists! A phaser takes the original signal and splits it into two paths. Subsequently, it adjusts the phase of one of the signals and mixes it with the original. The resulting effect, called phaser, is similar to a flanger, but has an irregular frequency response, whereas a flanger has peaks and troughs in a linear harmonic series. The Rate knob allows you to adjust the speed of the phase sweep. The speed increases when you turn the knob clockwise. The Color switch either increases or decreases the richness of the effect. Phase from sound to sound with the Small Stone by Electro Harmonix!
