Clip Descriptions:
"Almost Noon" by Pete Celi
A classic Sweep with the mix at 12:00 produces vintage 4-stage phaser tones.
"Unified Vibe" by Pete Celi
At full Depth the 4-stage Classic sweep extends into the lower part of the frequency spectrum creating a pulsing low end.
"Take 6" by Pete Celi
All inputs to the 6-stage phaser are graced with a syrupy coat of goodness.
"Flutterby" by Mark McCrite
A fast Speed and Mild Resonance, a stereo offset LFO creates a trippy Leslie-like effect.
"Timeless" by Ethan Tufts
Electric pianos are a perfect match with the Classic Sweep. Zelzah responds beautifully to the Wurlitzer's timbre.
"Half a Chorus" by Pete Celi
In Split mode, a chorus on the Right channel creates a stereo effect against the dry (bypassed). Left channel.
"Falling and Falling" by Pete Celi
A shallow flanger-voiced vibrato feeds a slowly falling Barber Sweep phaser for a hypnotic effect.
"Captain Zelzah" by Ethan Tufts
By placing El Capistan before Zelzah, the echoes experience the mild phasing effect produced by low Mix and low Depth.
"Broken" by Pete Celi
Mild Resonance enhances the frequency peaks of the 6-stage phaser at minimum Depth.
"Slowdrive" by Mark McCrite
A slow and deep sweep works on the harmonics created by Sunset.
"Wurly Wurli" by Ethan Tufts
A higher mix lends a quality of vibrato along with the phaser for this Wurlitzer track.
"Little Clone" by Pete Celi
At maximum Voice and high Depth, the LFO produces a noticeable pitch variation to the chorus tones.
"Instant Funk" by Gohan Ruiz
The Envelope Sweep produces input-responsive phasing for funky comping.
"No Rush" by Pete Celi
The Depth and Voice settings place this slow modulation in between flanger and chorus, while the stereo offset creates a huge sound field.
"Don Coriolis" by Pete Celi
This parallel combination of a stereo phasey vibrato on the 4 stage and a stereo chorus on the 6-stage produces a complex Leslie effect.
"Electric Mystery" by Pete Celi
The signature sweep of a classic flanger is hearkened with the Voice knob in the 1:00 position.
"Keep Up" by Ethan Tufts
A lower Depth setting limits the frequency excursions but maintains the sweep in a sweet spot as this lively Wurlitzer track demonstrates.
"Oh Faux" by Pete Celi
A classic stereo chorus faux-leslie is achieved with lower Depth and higher Speed settings.
"Shave and a Haircut" by Pete Celi
This Barber Sweep shows the fatness of the Barber phaser at lower Depth settings.
"Marshall Law" by Pete Celi
The 4-stage Classic feeds a heavily overdriven Marshall for harmonic richness.
"Humongous" by Ethan Tufts
A slower Speed sets the motion for this deep vibrato-phase effect on a huge guitar tone.
"Relevant Resonance" by Pete Celi
The Strong Resonance adds movement and shifting harmonics to send to the overdriven amp.
"Jean Luc Picardy" by Ethan Tufts
The Voice knob adds a sense of space to the 6-stage phaser as it enhances the Wurlitzer tones.
"Swamp Grass" by Gohan Ruiz
Full wet Mix creates a pleasingly pure phase-vibrato effect.
"Wah'd You Say?" by Pete Celi
Low Depth tames the response of the envelope phaser, keeping it the lower fatter frequencies, adding some dynamic punch into a distorted amp
"Barbaric Trem" by Pete Celi
Full wet Mix, Minimum Depth, and the Barber Sweep create a trem-like effect as the LFO makes its rounds.
"Riverslide" by Pete Celi
With Riverside creating lots of harmonics, the 4-stage phaser can be dialed back to create motion without overwhelming the input.
"Creature Comfort" by Pete Celi
The Strong Resonance of a 6-stage phaser/flanger gets further motion as it feeds into a 4-stage phasey vibrato.
"Looks Like This is the End" by Pete Celi
The beauty of the enhanced 6-stage algorithm is displayed as the pure phaser is stretched in time and takes on a spacious quality.
