Classic phaser for guitarists
The Orange Amps Phaser Pedal is a single-function modulation effect built for players who want authentic 1970s-style phasing without extra features. Its four-stage circuitry is recreated from the original hand-drawn schematics of the early Orange Phazer, delivering a nuanced, warming swirl that ranges from slow, woozy sweeps to fast, choppy stabs. A lone rate knob controls the entire sweep, keeping operation immediate and distraction-free. The pedal suits guitarists who value simplicity and vintage character over multi-effect versatility.
Upgrade from noisy vintage units
This design replaces original 1970s phasers that lacked modern noise reduction and convenient power options. Circuitry tweaks lower the noise floor while preserving the classic four-stage tone, and a standard 9V DC input removes the need for battery-only operation or vintage adapter hunting. An LED indicator adds on-stage visibility that the originals lacked. The jump is worth it for players who love the original sound but need quieter performance and reliable gig-ready power.
Consistent sweep under extended use
The precision-engineered four-stage analogue circuit maintains stable modulation depth and rate during long sets, without the drift or noise buildup that can affect aged vintage units. Reduced noise floor circuitry keeps the background quiet even when the effect is engaged continuously, and the tank-strength aluminium chassis shields the internals from electrical interference. The single dial retains its calibrated feel over time, delivering repeatable krautrock pulses or psychedelic whirls night after night.

Questions about this item
Does the Orange Phaser pedal fit a standard pedalboard with 9 V DC power?
Yes, it uses a 9 V DC input and a compact aluminium chassis that matches the original 1970s form factor, so it mounts on any standard board.
How do I install the Orange Phaser pedal and what step is often missed?
Connect the pedal between guitar and amp using standard ¼‑inch cables, then plug a centre‑negative 9 V DC supply; the step many miss is ensuring the power supply is centre‑negative, not centre‑positive.
What maintenance will the Orange Phaser pedal need over time?
The only routine upkeep is checking the 9 V DC jack and footswitch for dust or wear; the four‑stage analogue circuitry has no user‑serviceable parts and the LED indicates power status.
