Set phaser to stunning. The Ibanez PHMini Phaser presents all the classic phase tones just in a smaller enclosure. Ibanez has expanded their range of mini pedals with this take on an 80s classic. With circuitry based on the fabled PT9 get all the warmth and subtle character of the original all with some modern upgrades. Famed for its flexibility with the simple three knob layout you can dial in a range of phased tones- from subtle colouring to thick full-blown syrupy whoosh. The Stage switch gives you full control by letting you control how many notches and therefore how intense the effect is; truly a boutique-level feature. Take your sound into different sonic dimensions with the PHMini. Timeless phased tones Versatility is the PHMinis strong suit. The Ibanez PHMini Phaser is easy to use but its simple controls provide real versatility allowing you to tweak to your hearts content and find your ultimate phaser tone. The PT9 was so highly regarded thanks to the smoothness of its sweep circuit meaning the effect was never harsh even at extreme intensities. This has been accurately replicated in the PHMini with all the vintage warmth to accompany. So even when you crank the feedback for a remarkably intense effect your sound will still be smooth. Topped off with fully-analog true bypass design so theres no spillover- no colouration when disengaged and thick ethereal soundscapes when it is. Switching stages Phasers work by creating phase differences at certain frequencies and then mixing those signals with the dry signal to cause frequency-dependent phase cancellation. When swept this creates the classic whoosh effect phasers are known for. The number of stages represents the number of frequencies where phase cancellation is applied allowing the user to alter this gives you a lot more sonic freedom to dial in a range of phaser sounds. Every two stages is equivalent to an additional notch in the spectrum- essentially the more notches the more intense the effect will sound. The PHMini allows you to switch between 4 stages and 6 stages putting the control in your hands.
