BLEASS Phaser vs MF

More subtle than flanging and more colourful than chorus, phasing has long been a go-to effect for guitarists, keyboardists, vocalists and bassists who want to inject a touch of other-worldly character into their sound. No effects collection is complete without a phaser! BLEASS Phaser delivers a comprehensive and highly versatile phasing effect. Whether you’re looking for gentle movement, resonant swirls, or stunning atmospheric soundscapes, BLEASS Phaser can do it all. The plugin’s interface is dominated by a colourful and captivating visualisation that illustrates the notch frequencies that create the phasing effect. This detailed and intuitive display, coupled with BLEASS’ trademark tactile interface design, demystifies the entire phasing process, and makes working with BLEASS Phaser a joy. Phasers use all-pass filters to create frequency-specific phase changes within a sound. When this sound is overlaid on the original unprocessed sound, it creates notch filters at the cutoff frequencies of the all-pass filters. By using multiple all-pass filters, with frequencies that spread from a “centre” frequency determined by the first all-pass filter, a complex comb filtering effect is generated. Adding modulation to the filter frequencies leads to the characteristic sweeping, whooshing sound that phasing is known for. BLEASS Phaser has two LFO modulation sources. The first modulates the notch filter cutoff frequencies, the second modulates the spread of notch frequencies around the initial centre frequency. This allows the plugin to create classic repetitive phasing effects, as well as complex, ever-shifting notch patterns that add tons of sonic interest to a part. With BLEASS Phaser in your collection, you will never need another phaser! More information on bleass.com/phaser

The MF-103S 12-Stage Phaser is a re-invention of Moog Music’s classic Moogerfooger MF-103 analog effects pedal. The MF-103 12-Stage Phaser, introduced in 1999, contained two complete modular functions: a 6-stage/12-stage voltage-controlled Phaser and a voltage-controlled wide-range Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO). Designed by Bob Moog and his engineering team, the MF-103 was a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers, adapted to process, modulate, and play with inputs ranging from guitar, voice, and synthesizer to any imaginable audio source. The MF-103 Stage Phaser has been meticulously recreated as the MF-103S, capturing not only the psychedelic enveloping sound of the original, but also the organic way in which the parameters interact to create a musical playing experience. The MF-103S is an AUv3 effects plug-in that requires a compatible host or DAW to function.
