Behringer · pedal
The Behringer VP1 Vintage Phaser is a classic analog phase shifter pedal providing three-dimensional phase shifting effects.

True bypass circuitry ensures the signal passes cleanly when disengaged. 9V battery or optional PSU DC supply. Part of Behringer effects range delivering vintage phase shifting character for guitarists who want classic analog phasing at accessible price points.
