Source Audio Hot Hand Phaser/Flanger
Source Audio · pedal
The Source Audio Hot Hand Phaser/Flanger is a motion-controllable modulation pedal packing seven phaser and seven flanger effects, each shapeable by four selectable modulation sources for up to 56 sounds. Beyond a standard LFO, it can be driven by an envelope follower, a sequencer, or the wireless Hot Hand motion sensor ring, which lets players control the modulation in real time with subtle hand movements. The phaser voices range into warm, swirling Uni-Vibe-like territory, especially with clean tones, while the flanger spans subtle sweeps to wild, crazy vibrato. This expressive control makes it a creative tool for funk, psychedelic, and experimental players who want hands-on or automated modulation, offering far more depth and interactivity than a typical fixed-LFO phaser or flanger.
