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 Outlaw Effects Phunnel Cloud is a compact analogue phaser with two selectable voicings, running from a discreet shimmer to dramatic, rapidly sweeping movement. A mini toggle switches between Then, a warm, rich mid-1970s-flavoured phase with a rounder and more musical character, and Now, which is cleaner, more modern and more pronounced in its sweep. It stays quiet in operation, and true bypass keeps the dry signal transparent when disengaged. Housed in a micro enclosure with staggered jacks to save pedalboard space, it is an affordable route to classic analogue phase movement without boutique cost.
The Spaceman EXPLORER is an analog phaser from Spaceman Effects (Portland, Oregon), delivering smooth, musical phase shifting with handcrafted boutique circuitry and the exceptional component quality that Spaceman is known for. The EXPLORER provides rich analog phaser character for classic rock, funk, and vintage modulation players who want premium handcrafted phasing from a respected Portland boutique maker.
