Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Artec SE-VPH is an analog vintage phase shifter from South Korean manufacturer Artec. Designed to reproduce classic phase-shift sweep tones, the SE-VPH includes a Resonance control that adjusts the sharpness of the phasing peak for subtle shimmer or pronounced notch-filter sweep. DC 9V, 14mA active / 10mA bypass, 75.5W x 115.5H x 47.5D mm, 290g with battery. Part of the Artec SE budget series alongside the SE-FLG flanger and SE-VTM tremolo, offering classic analog modulation at entry-level prices.
Rotosound, a British brand best known for decades as a leading manufacturer of guitar and bass strings, extended into effects pedals with releases like the RKH1 The King Henry Phaser, bringing the company's established manufacturing reputation into a new product category. As a phaser, it sweeps a series of notch filters across the frequency spectrum to create the classic swirling, watery modulation associated with the format, distinct from the flanger or chorus effects found elsewhere in modulation pedal catalogs. The playful King Henry naming reflects a British boutique-pedal sensibility, layering personality onto a well-understood, classic effect type.
