Vibrophase
A five-knob, four-stage phaser/vibrato derived from the candle-powered Candela Vibrophase, with independent controls for sweep range and feedback intensity.
About this pedal
Adapts the circuitry from ZVEX’s candle-powered Candela Vibrophase novelty unit into a standard pedal format. Five controls (speed, vibrato/phase blend, feedback, and top/bottom sweep range) shape a four-stage phaser with vibrato character, from slow swirls to fast, flippy sweeps.
