Operating Overview 

 

 

PHASE (FAZ) RATE: Controls the rate of phaser signal 
PAN RATE: Controls the rate of panning 
FEEDBACK: Controls how much phase shifted signal is looped back into phase stages 
OUTPUT SELECTOR:  Controls whether the phase signal is sent to just the LEFT 
OUTPUT, RIGHT OUTPUT, or BOTH. 
 
DC power supply - Use a 2.5mm negative tip 9VDC adapter (this is your standard guitar 
fx adapter).  
 
Current Draw – 8.5mA 
Input Impedance - 470k ohms 
 
Output Impedance – 28k (when only phase) – 100k ohms (when panning is on)
