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.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Subdecay Quasar Phaser v4 is a multi-stage phaser from Subdecay (Portland, Oregon), delivering 4, 6, 8, and 10-stage phase shifting in one compact pedal with multiple LFO waveform options and resonance control for comprehensive phase from subtle to deep swirling sweeps. The Quasar v4 provides one of the widest phaser stage selections available in a boutique compact format.
Phased Out is another explicitly labeled clone release from W-LM, this time reproducing a phaser circuit rather than the compressor targeted by the builder's Compression Fracture release. As with any clone pedal, the goal is faithfully recreating a specific existing phaser's sweep character and control behavior rather than introducing an original circuit design, giving players access to a particular sought-after phaser tone without the cost of an original vintage or boutique unit. Which specific phaser circuit this targets isn't confirmed from available sources, though the name suggests a connection to an established phaser design within the vintage or boutique effects world.
