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 Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser is a multi-mode analog phaser offering several distinct sweep voicings in one pedal, from a subtle, shimmering movement to a deep, liquid, vocal swirl. Higher feedback and resonance settings push the phase notch forward for a pronounced, watery character reminiscent of vintage phase circuits, while lower settings add gentle animation that thickens the tone without drawing attention. It is hand-built in New Zealand.
The SolidGoldFX Aurras is a boutique optical modulation pedal combining vibrato and phaser voicings into a lush, dimensional 'Vibraphase' effect.
