Modeled on the original hardware unit, the Instant Phaser Mk II plug-in accomplishes the same legendary sound with all the analog personality, smooth modulations, and inherent musicality. Its capabilities have been expanded, and now you can even take your phaser on an excursion from the 70s far into the future with the delightfully characteristic “Age” knob. Outfitted with a complete host of control options, the Instant Phaser Mk II is out of the rack and into your plug-in arsenal.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-features\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-column has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"\u003eThe Instant Phaser Mk II offers three different sonic characteristics that change the amount of phase-shift sections, simply labeled “Shallow,” “Deep,” and “Wide.” When “Wide” is selected, the Instant Phaser Mk II gives you a different amount of phase-shifting on both the right and left channels, resulting in a slightly different effect in each ear. You can use this to turn flat mono guitars into huge stereo leads or make your single-channel synthesizer fill out the sides of your mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdd\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge\u003c\/strong\u003e for component drift with time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOffers\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ethree different flavors of phasing \u003c\/strong\u003ewith the Mode switch: Shallow, Deep, and Wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUtilize\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eone\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eof\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003efour \u003c\/strong\u003edistinct methods to control the phasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e allows you to combine the phased signal with the dry signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdded\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSide Chain\u003c\/strong\u003e function allows you to trigger the Envelope Follower from a separate source in the mix for inter-track mingling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExercise total control\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Oscillator with Sync and Retrig controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFeedback\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003econtrol\u003c\/strong\u003e for a more pronounced sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003estandard\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003egain\u003c\/strong\u003e input and output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"gutenakitid-c052f251-4a83-4c2c-a807-6ecdacfb455f has-large-font-size wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-aged-not-old\"\u003eAged Not Old\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"gutenakitid-126aa551-b447-4ede-8ba3-3c9616b84a3d  has-text-align-center\"\u003eThe Instant Phaser Mk II perfectly captures the unique, imprecise analog character of the original hardware. During development we discovered that the values of some of the components change with age; they drift further and further from their marked values. The result is that an Instant Phaser which has been powered up for years will sound different than it did on day one. The new plug-in features an innovative Age knob, which allows you to simulate this aging of the components of the phase shift networks and the LFO. Once we started down this path, in a salute to entropy, we decided to extrapolate far into the future.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-different-ways-to-phase\"\u003eDifferent Ways to Phase\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"\u003eThe Instant Phaser allows four distinct methods to control the phasing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e allows precise automation of the phasing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOscillator\u003c\/strong\u003e modulates the phasing at a constant rate that you decide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnvelope \u003c\/strong\u003echanges the phase whenever your signal passes the specified threshold.

Eventide’s debut effect, the Instant Phaser, was the first studio rackmount effect box to accomplish a similar sound. Because of this, the original manual spent a decent amount of words introducing the idea of the phaser effect and its purpose, explaining, “The Eventide Clockworks Instant Phaser was designed specifically to eliminate the costly and tedious job of setting up and implementing the special effect known as ‘phasing’ or ‘flanging.’ In addition, one can electronically control it to produce new and desirable effects.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of what made the original tape flanging sound was a dry signal combined with a slightly delayed signal. When the Instant Phaser was designed, there was no such technology to achieve delay artificially. This being the case, the effect was only able to approximate the sonic quality of tape flanging by using all-pass networks. The sound is similar but is created by using a method that is fundamentally different. A few years after the Instant Phaser hit the market, the Instant Flanger made its debut. The Instant Flanger manual delved into the differences between the electronic processes of phasing and flanging, and said about phasing, “Since its invention or discovery in the mid-1960s, the special effect known as ‘phasing’ or ‘flanging’ has been one of the most popular additions to the mixer’s repertoire. Phasing was introduced to the mass audience in the song “Itchycoo Park” by Small Faces and has been used (yes, and overused) to some extent by virtually every artist since that time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"EVENTIDE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44925565501613,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3449\/7197\/files\/InstantPhaser-300dpi-scaled.jpg?v=1758315728","url":"https:\/\/www.detroitmodular.com\/products\/eventide-instant-phaser-mkii","provider":"Detroit Modular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
