Authentic Vintage Phaser Tones
At the heart of the Deep Phase is a meticulously tuned circuit that captures the unmistakable character of legendary phasers. The pedal’s four-stage mode gives you classic, shimmering movement perfect for funk, rock, and everything in between. Flip to eight-stage mode, and the Deep Phase delivers a deeper, more textured sweep that lets solos soar and chords pulse with psychedelic ambience. This versatility makes it a must-have for vintage tone enthusiasts and modern explorers alike.
Intuitive, Musical Control
Shaping your sound is a breeze thanks to the Deep Phase’s simple, effective layout. The SPEED knob offers a wide range of effect rates, from slow, haunting sweeps to rapid, rhythmic pulses. The FDBK knob lets you dial in everything from gentle modulation to intense, resonant phasing, so you can find the perfect character for any track. The dedicated footswitch ensures true bypass operation, preserving your tone when the effect is disengaged.
Stage-Ready with MXR Reliability
Like every MXR pedal, the Deep Phase is built to withstand the rigors of the road. Its compact enclosure fits easily into any pedalboard setup, while premium components ensure years of trouble-free performance. The pedal runs on standard 9V DC power supplies and features low current draw, making it a reliable partner for gigs, rehearsals, and studio sessions alike.
Flexible Phase Shifting for Any Instrument
Thanks to its broad LFO range and high input impedance, the Deep Phase works beautifully with guitars, basses, keyboards, and more. Whether you’re after classic swirling cleans, thickening your leads, or pushing your synths into new dimensions, this pedal puts a universe of phase-shifting potential at your feet.
