JHS Pedals · pedal
The JHS 3 Series Phaser is a six-stage phaser pedal from JHS Pedals' budget-friendly 3 Series line, priced at $99. Three controls — Blend, Rate, and Width — shape the phase sweep, while a Feedback toggle switch adds resonance to the phasing for contemporary or more dramatic sounds. Inspired by the golden age of 1970s phaser pedals, it produces warm, organic phasing from subtle shimmer to pronounced vintage sweep. True bypass.
