Alexander Pedals Luminous Phaseshifter

Park P50 Classic

Into the P50's compressed, classic-rock crunch, the Phaseshifter's digital sweep adds motion without fighting the amp's own British-voiced gain.

Orange Matamp

Into the Matamp's sweet, singing blues-rock voice, the Phaseshifter's stereo sweep stays articulate instead of getting buried in the amp's own gain.

Blackstar St. James 100

The low gain tone has headroom to spare — Blackstar St. James 100 gives it high gain to fill it with

ZVEX Fuzz Factory

Run the Phaseshifter ahead of the Fuzz Factory's gated germanium fuzz so the modulation still tracks a clean signal before the gate chops it up.

Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi

Run the Phaseshifter's envelope-controlled sweep ahead of the Big Muff's thick, creamy fuzz so the modulation still has a clean signal before the fuzz's own sustain takes over.

Caroline Guitar Company Kilobyte

Keep the Kilobyte's digital echoes trailing after the Luminous Phaseshifter's envelope-controlled sweep, not before, or the delay repeats a moving signal instead of a settled one. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Catalinbread Belle Epoch

Run the Belle Epoch's warm tape echo after the Phaseshifter's stereo sweep, so the repeats decay from a settled tone instead of a moving one. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

NUX XTC Overdrive

NUX XTC Overdrive's high gain fills in what this low gain tone doesn't make on its own

Caline CP-31 Hot Spice (Black)

Into a low gain tone, Caline CP-31 Hot Spice (Black) brings the high gain it's missing

Tone City Hot Mama Overdrive

Strymon Iridium

Run Strymon Iridium after it and the bright edge settles into something more warm
