Movall Audio MP-301 Van Golem
Movall Audio · pedal
The Movall MP-301 Van Golem is a budget analogue mini phaser offering more control than a typical one-knob vintage-style phase pedal. Alongside Speed it adds Width and Feedback, so the sweep runs from a subtle, slow shimmer adding gentle movement to a lead tone, through to deep, watery, resonant phase sweeps that swirl broadly across clean chords. Raising the feedback sharpens the notches for a more vocal, resonant and pronounced effect. Built into a small but weighty aluminium-alloy enclosure with a slip-resistant base, true bypass and an LED status indicator, running on 9V DC centre-negative. An accessible way to get flexible analogue phase movement in a very small pedalboard footprint.
