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 Tone City Summer Orange is a phaser pedal from the budget-focused Chinese effects brand, following Tone City's broader catalog pattern of colorful, compact stompboxes covering classic effect types at accessible prices. As a phaser, it sweeps a series of notch filters across the frequency spectrum to produce the swirling, watery modulation the format is known for, distinct from a flanger's more metallic, jet-plane sweep. Tone City has built a presence in the budget pedal market by covering nearly every major effect category in a bright, visually distinctive mini or standard-size format, and the Summer Orange continues that approach within the phaser category specifically.
