Alchemy Audio's Phasor II is a faithful clone of the original Musitronics Mu-Tron Phasor II, a classic electro-optical phase shifter from the 1970s prized for a rich, swirling sweep distinct from later, cheaper phaser designs, reissued here in a modern, pedalboard-friendly footprint running on standard 9-volt power. Where original vintage Phasor IIs have become expensive and increasingly hard to source in good working condition, Alchemy Audio's recreation gives players access to that same classic Mu-Tron swirl without needing to track down and maintain a genuinely vintage unit, part of the company's broader specialization in careful reproductions of rare or discontinued effects circuits.
The Walrus Audio Lillian is a true-bypass, all-analog multi-stage phaser offering a wide array of classic and modern phaser tones. Controls for Rate, Width, and Feedback shape the sweep, and a D-P-V blend selects between four-stage and six-stage phasing voicings for everything from subtle, watery movement to deep, resonant, vocal sweeps. The all-analog signal path gives warm, musical phasing reminiscent of revered vintage units, and the Feedback control adds resonance and intensity for more pronounced, liquid effects. Versatile and easy to dial, it covers gentle shimmer through lush, swirling modulation. It suits players wanting warm, flexible analog phaser tones, from understated rhythm animation to dramatic resonant sweeps, across rock, funk, ambient, and classic styles in a compact, well-built pedal.
