W-LM Phased Out

W-LM · pedal

Phased Out is another explicitly labeled clone release from W-LM, this time reproducing a phaser circuit rather than the compressor targeted by the builder's Compression Fracture release. As with any clone pedal, the goal is faithfully recreating a specific existing phaser's sweep character and control behavior rather than introducing an original circuit design, giving players access to a particular sought-after phaser tone without the cost of an original vintage or boutique unit. Which specific phaser circuit this targets isn't confirmed from available sources, though the name suggests a connection to an established phaser design within the vintage or boutique effects world.
