Behringer VP1B
Behringer · pedal
The Behringer VP1B is a variant of the VP1 Vintage Phaser, a budget-oriented analog phase shifter styled after classic 1970s phasing circuits. It features a Rate control to sweep from slow, languid tonal movement to fast, bubbly rotation, plus a Tone switch that adjusts the depth and character of the effect. The phasing character is warm and fluid at slow speeds and resembles a rotary speaker or auto-wah quality at faster settings. It works on guitar, bass, and keyboard.
