Orange Series Phaser

Orange · pedal

The Orange Phaser is a reissue of a vintage Orange circuit, a one-knob phaser that delivers classic psychedelic swirl across a wide range of speeds. A single adjustable dial takes the tone from slow, woozy sweeps to fast, choppy stabs, passing through kaleidoscopic whirling and insistent krautrock-style pulses along the way. Its simplicity makes it instantly usable, focusing entirely on a musical, vintage-flavored phase voice rather than deep parameter control. Updated for the modern era with an LED and DC input while retaining its original character, it sits early in the chain into clean or driven amps, adding three-dimensional movement to rhythm and lead. It suits psychedelic, classic rock, and experimental players wanting a straightforward, characterful phaser with a strong vintage swirl from one easy control.
