Simple Sam Faze-It Phase
Simple Sam · pedal
Simple Sam is a small boutique pedal builder whose Faze-It Phase, as the name suggests, is a phaser pedal, sweeping notch filters across the frequency spectrum to create the classic swirling modulation the format is known for. The playful spelling and naming convention fits a pattern common among small independent builders, prioritizing a distinctive, memorable identity over a strictly technical product name. Specific sweep range, stage count, and control layout for this particular circuit aren't confirmed from available sources, consistent with how sparsely documented many small-batch boutique releases tend to be.
