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 Death By Audio Moonbeam Stereo Multi-Stage Phaser houses two fully analog 6-stage phase shifter engines delivering independent stereo phase shifting. The dual analog phase shifter architecture produces wide, deep stereo phaser tones associated with high-stage analog phase circuits. 9V DC power. Reviewed by Premier Guitar. Brooklyn boutique construction from Death By Audio.
The Wylde Audio WA90 is a four-stage all-analogue phaser built by Dunlop in Zakk Wylde's signature livery, using a single Rate control in the classic Phase 90 tradition. Its sweep runs from a slow, warm, liquid swirl adding subtle movement and dimension to sustained notes, through to a fast, watery, deeply psychedelic whoosh. The voicing is smooth and thick rather than harsh, so it holds together under heavy distortion, which is where Wylde uses it -- high-gain rhythm and lead work at slow speeds, where the phase movement animates the tone without blurring the attack. Streamlined and pedalboard-practical, with no menus or secondary controls to manage.
