Similarity
citedBlended 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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Death By Audio Moonbeam Phaser houses two fully analog 6-stage phase shifter engines in one pedal, delivering stereo multi-stage phaser tones with the DBA experimental design character. Two complete independent 6-stage phase shifters allow wide stereo phaser tones. 9V DC power supply. Reviewed by Premier Guitar. Brooklyn boutique Death By Audio construction.

The Fender Waylon Jennings Phaser is an all-analogue phaser built around Fender's original 1970s four-stage phase circuit, developed with the Jennings estate to capture the outlaw country player's stage and studio sound. A three-position switch selects two, four or six phase stages, moving from a gentle, shallow shimmer through the classic thick four-stage swirl to a deep, resonant six-stage sweep. Range, Rate and Feedback controls set sweep width, speed and resonance, with higher feedback sharpening the notches into a vocal, hollow, more pronounced effect. A Sweet switch jumps straight to a favoured blend of clean signal against the phase-shifted tone, keeping the dry attack intact underneath. Reviewers praise it as unusually flexible and interactive for a phaser, and rich-sounding across all three stage settings.
