Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser
Red Witch · pedal
The Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser is a multi-mode analog phaser offering several distinct sweep voicings in one pedal, from a subtle, shimmering movement to a deep, liquid, vocal swirl. Higher feedback and resonance settings push the phase notch forward for a pronounced, watery character reminiscent of vintage phase circuits, while lower settings add gentle animation that thickens the tone without drawing attention. It is hand-built in New Zealand.
