When to Use Phaser Effect?

The position of the peaks and troughs of the waveform being affected is typically modulated by an internal low-frequency oscillator so that they vary over time, creating a sweeping effect. Phasers are often used to give a "synthesized" or electronic effect to natural sounds, such as human speech.

What are phaser pedals good for?

A phaser pedal - part of the modulation family - is one of the more distinctive effects you can employ in your guitar rig. It's used to add body to individual notes or to create that classic swirling, movement sound.

Where should a phaser go in an effects chain?

As with most modulation effects, Phaser traditionally sits towards the back end of your pedal chain, after everything except ambient effects like reverb and delay. This means the effect will apply to everything in your chain so far, including distortion, EQ, filters and more.
