Tube Phaser
The Hiwatt Tube Phaser is a vintage-inspired effect that breathes new life into your guitar tone. Unlike modern digital phasers, this pedal utilizes genuine vacuum tubes to produce a rich, organic modulation that simply can't be replicated by silicon. At the heart of the Tube Phaser are two 12AX7 preamp tubes that work in tandem to generate a mesmerizing swirl. As you twist the Speed and Depth controls, the tubes push and pull the signal, creating a hypnotic phase-shifted shimmer that dances across the stereo field. But this isn't your typical one-dimensional phaser - the Hiwatt also features a Resonance knob that allows you to fine-tune the intensity and character of the effect, from subtle undulations to downright psychedelic swooshes. What really sets the Tube Phaser apart is its touch sensitivity and musical responsiveness. The tubes react dynamically to your playing, adding harmonically complex overtones that thicken and expand your guitar's natural voice. Dig in hard, and the phasing effect becomes more pronounced; back off, and it recedes into the background, creating an immersive spatial ambience. This pedal's vintage vibe and tube-powered mojo have made it a favorite among discerning guitarists, including David Gilmour, who famously used a Hiwatt stack with a Tube Phaser to craft his mind-bending lead tones on Pink Floyd's seminal albums. If you're seeking a phaser that will transport you to another sonic dimension, the Hiwatt Tube Phaser is a must-have addition to your pedalboard.
