About this pedal
This is the full-size version of Spaceman’s original optical, six-stage phaser circuit, sold from new-old-stock production as part of the current catalog rather than the closed-out Legacy line. It shares the same photocell-based phase design as the Cadet and Deluxe versions, tuned for everything from smooth vintage sweeps to more unusual textures.
