The DOD Phasor 201 is a classic two-stage analog phaser pedal originally produced by DOD Electronics in 1976, delivering simple, musical phase shifting with a single Speed control. The two-stage design produces a subtle, focused phase notch sweep suited for gentle, musical phasing. One of the earliest mass-produced phase shifters, the DOD 201 influenced the development of phaser pedals across the industry.
