Ibanez PH Mini Phaser Mini
Ibanez · pedal
The Ibanez PH Mini is a compact analog phaser from the Made-in-Japan Mini Series. It produces a warm, smooth phase sweep with a rounded midrange character rather than a sharp, pronounced notch, sitting closer to a subtle shimmer than an aggressive swirl at moderate settings and becoming a deeper, more liquid modulation as the rate is raised. Rate and Depth controls keep operation simple, and the all-analog signal path and small footprint suit crowded pedalboards.
