13. July 2007

Before I sign off for the weekend I just wanted to leave you all with a quick look at this beautiful stompbox I just got in for review––a brand spankin’ new prototype of Effectrode’s Phaseomatic Deluxe. The pedal is essentially a re-ingeneered “Deluxe” version of the world’s first photo-optical, vacuum tube phaser, and like its predecessors [...]
