The Walrus Audio Lillian is a true-bypass, all-analog multi-stage phaser offering a wide array of classic and modern phaser tones. Controls for Rate, Width, and Feedback shape the sweep, and a D-P-V blend selects between four-stage and six-stage phasing voicings for everything from subtle, watery movement to deep, resonant, vocal sweeps. The all-analog signal path gives warm, musical phasing reminiscent of revered vintage units, and the Feedback control adds resonance and intensity for more pronounced, liquid effects. Versatile and easy to dial, it covers gentle shimmer through lush, swirling modulation. It suits players wanting warm, flexible analog phaser tones, from understated rhythm animation to dramatic resonant sweeps, across rock, funk, ambient, and classic styles in a compact, well-built pedal.
The Wylde Audio WA90 is a four-stage all-analogue phaser built by Dunlop in Zakk Wylde's signature livery, using a single Rate control in the classic Phase 90 tradition. Its sweep runs from a slow, warm, liquid swirl adding subtle movement and dimension to sustained notes, through to a fast, watery, deeply psychedelic whoosh. The voicing is smooth and thick rather than harsh, so it holds together under heavy distortion, which is where Wylde uses it -- high-gain rhythm and lead work at slow speeds, where the phase movement animates the tone without blurring the attack. Streamlined and pedalboard-practical, with no menus or secondary controls to manage.
