    0º 180º shift 7 bypass - zero phase shift, response is linear. At this setting 200hz is shifted by just one or two degrees while 20khz is shifted 180°. At this setting 200hz is shifted by 100° while everything above 2khz is shifted 180°. Near maximum setting 200hz reaches 180°. 0º 180º shift 0º 180º...

    8 using the filter section once you have found the ‘sweet spot’ in the phase shift section, try adjusting the low-pass fi lter controls to hear their effect. The fi lter sec- tion is designed to roll-off high frequencies above a variable cut-off point allowing the phazer's effect to be focused on th...

    Mic a - placed close to beater head. Mic b - placed outside drum shell. Acoustic string bass engineers often combine the signals from a piezo contact pickup (a) and a microphone (b) when recording acoustic string bass. This is very much like the acoustic guitar application because the piezo's signal...

    12 faq q: can i connect a mic directly to the phazer? A: no. You must fi rst connect the mic to a preamplifi er and then to the phazer, as it is designed to accept +4db or -10db line level signals. A microphone does not have suffi cient output to drive the phazers circuit. Q: can i use the phazer wi...
