Phaser is a very distinctive effect, and when you hear it, its distinctive sound strongly reminds you of the music of the 70s, when it was used a lot. For those who know the music of that time, phaser must be synonymous with old-fashioned effect.

However, 50 years have passed since its appearance, and the image of the phaser has changed a little.

The expression ""old-fashioned"" has been replaced by the word ""retro,"" and the impression given by the word ""retro"" is linked to the description ""vintage."" Now that the reevaluation of old equipment, not limited to effects, has begun, the individuality that reminds us of the music of the past has come to be seen as a desirable element. In that case, there must be great meaning in learning about the effects that our predecessors used so much in the past.

The sound of the phaser is firmly imprinted on the masterpieces engraved in the music history of the 1970s and 1980s, such as black music such as R&B and funk, and Japanese city pop, which has been reevaluated in recent years. I recommend that you try to learn from the past and incorporate the sounds into your own sound creation to create a new ""winter sound""!
